I'm so pleased to be able to watch this program on RUclips. I was a Court TV addict until they decided to morph it into a reality channel. Now it appears they realize they lost a loyal fan base and they are attempting to revive that programming. But alas, it's too little too late, because now we have the Law & Crime Network! We can watch these trials at our leisure and play back parts we want to review. Not to mention, we can commensurate with other viewers who enjoy this type of programming. So many thanks Court TV! The disregard you had for your original fan base has provided us with a better alternative :)
@@weeannie495 If he's done more harm, then good. The prosecution is finding nearly every hole in the stories and testimonies, as she should be. It just goes to show he was unprepared or didn't even know what he was talking about regarding the case and it's focal points. :)
THERE you go @5:05 -5:17 you see she knows from just earlier before when the doctor said Skylar said the cord was around the neck, SHE CATCHES HERSELF AND THEN ADJUST THE SCREEN... He was 10 times smarter then her and made sure all his answers were in such a way nobody could pick a simple YES or NO and twist it out of context to agreeing what the prosecutor was LEADING.. Smart man
@Bob Jones There is another, Dr. Sperry. He is 10x worse! He was in the Jennifer Rosenbaum trial. A two year old had over 100 injuries, 22 on the head alone, she had a busted colon (messentary), slpit liver, pancreas was totally cut in half. Bruises were days and days old as well as new. Dr. Sperry said it was all from foster/monster doing CPR.
There's NO way she's going to be convicted of murder. But I do think she'll be convicted of manslaughter because it's very likely that baby would be alive today had she made different choices. The jury won't just completely let her go...she'll be convicted of the lesser offenses. The aggravated murder charge is ridiculous though. There's just NO proof that she took that baby and maliciously murdered her. She MIGHT have, but there's no way to know that!! Its just SO suspicious and "convenient " that a baby she desperately wanted hidden, ended in a stillbirth?! Really? So what was she going to do if it did CRY out and was ALIVE? I'm feeling pretty certain she still wasnt planning on telling anyone since she didn't cry out in birth. I just DON'T KNOW!! I go back and forth. But I definitely dont think she will get a murder charge!!!
The other Dr Latham who is a gynachologist that they interviewed did not agree with this Dr White's report. The other Dr was far more professional and credible.
I don't get it. A well educated man, a Doctor, based his decision on the words of a known habitual liar. She said, she said, she said. Evan when shown all of the inconsistent statements he won't budge. He's going to catch hell when he gets back to his practice. I have no doubt he has patients who are aware of, and even watching this trial. They might wonder if they've got the best Dr. for their babies.
No, he won't. Remember he didn't have much to go on but Skylar's weights, the one measurement, and what she has said. People who work with patients have to believe what they are told for the most part and use test to back it up. With no real medical, test a doctor has nothing else.
What I find interesting is that the prosecution and the police assumed an 18 year old girl had a lot of knowledge of what a placenta, umbilical cord, amniotic fluid even are! She probably had no idea what she was looking at after giving birth except for the baby and was probably traumatized about all the things coming out of her. EVERYONE including the prosecution witness are making assumptions based on this girl's testimony. One position is she is not lying and the other position is that she is lying. Neither can prove because only the defendant was there.
@@joymace1223 Come on, my daughter was taught about this baby stuff in high school and she graduated in 1995. They even showed video of a live birth in health class. This is 2019. And, don't tell me that Ohio is so far behind the times. They are taught about birth control but more importantly, about HIV and other diseases.
Unfortunately Dr. White wasn't given the totality of the evidence by def. However IMO his inability to weigh what evidence he did have to make an unbiased report on the case showed greatly.
k 8 yet his testimony is all over the place. He doesn’t make any sense and close minded. He’s definitely trying to help the defense but it’s hurting them more.
Skyler told the doctor that the placenta came out with the baby, yet she told the police that the placenta came out the next day. What is the prosecutor on about, no testimony when the placenta was delivered.
3 babies & I haven’t experienced 1 event of ‘a gush’ of breaking waters. As every human is individual every life event from birth to death is individual too. They share a basic commonality but nonetheless are unique to each of us.
Her weight has nothing to do with weight of baby. Baby gets what it needs first. Then mother get nutrients second. She said baby cried, baby gurgled, baby moved arms, that is very much sign of life. Altrasound showed baby alive. She should of went to her parents, called 911. She never intended for anyone know about this baby. She had college, she had a boyfriend that wasn't the father of baby, she had a mother that told her she would have to take care of baby and work. She said , I can't have this baby.
Wow life she had no intention of keeping that baby or she would have spoken to a friend or got help when in labour What was she going to do with a crying baby assuming it was born alive
you can pay a expert witness to say anything! that defense team should be disbarred, she had no defense. that DA woman was no joke. she shot his testimony full of holes.
Sweetly creeping in because it was in the ground so long, so the jury can "assume" because of her actions and words it was a live birth. Hey, this woman never said a word to anyone about this pregnancy, so it's believable it was a live birth, why the prosecutors/state brought her to trial. She buried a body that nobody had knowledge of.
Trek1960 John Doe she was only brought to trial bc they first thought she burned the body. There were no charges until they thought they had something sensational that would make them famous. They had no intentions on charging her for anything before that. Now that the burning has been proven false, the state is grasping at straws. No one can prove that baby was alive or dead, meaning they cannot find her guilty!
Katie Overbey Just because the prosecution picked at everything he said doesn’t mean he is not credible. I believe that the baby was either stillborn or died soon after. I don’t believe she killed the baby. IMO There is much in the interview that was confusing because the detective was not listening. He was talking.
Still NOT convinced at ALL that she's guilty. I would not convict her. Not enough evidence for the state. If I were on the jury we'd probably be deadlocked because I stand firm that she did NOT kill her baby.
I agree. There is way too much doubt here. Even perfectly healthy pregnancies can end in still birth at the last second. We have no way of knowing if she was alive or not, but I couldn’t convict!
LOL....*DR WHITE FINDING HOW MANY WEEKS SKYLAR WAS PREGNANT* "Take August 8th, divide by the amount of times Skylar lied, add seven days, subtract two weeks, add seven more days, times it by PI, add the number of times the moon revolves around the sun, and you get 37 weeks." :)
What bothers me so much is the fact that the government can prosecute this young girl for her actions all the while there are states in this country where late term abortions are legal and babies are left to die on tables. How is that any different than what Skylar did or did not do? So, it's ok if it's done in a hospital and those physicians are not charged? Some very crazy laws out there.

Smh 😔 Fly high sweet Angel, you're in the arms of Jesus, safe & happy 💞
I am just speechless that this defense expert knows exactly what happened based on documents. Just by reading documents and listening to the defendants interrogation, the baby was stillborn to a reasonable degree of medical certainty. Oh, and the baby had asymmetrical IUGR. He never took an ultrasound. Of course he is going to say what the defense wants him to testify to. Oh goodness!!!!
The state’s doctor concluded his opinion the same way. With the same reports, so do you think the same of him? He also wasn’t there but says with medical certainty that the baby was alive. Too much doubt! There was an ultrasound taken, that backed up the measurement that Dr Andrew testified to using a tape measure to measure!
@@MrsMrMoney Yes, he was but I've been in the legal field for 26 years and believe me a defense doctor is very, very expensive. Believe me, I would say a lot more than the prosecuters expert witness. JS
So badly wanted one of the parties (defense/prosecution) to ask the doctor witnesses if they have ever delivered babies with the cord detached, and what the typical outcome of such a situation is?
Prosecutor made a good try but failed. Impressive job by this defense medical expert witness. He was just too intelligent and too prepared for her to trip him up.
I hope this prosecutor delivers a dynamite summation of all the evasive, contradictory and absurd answers by the defendant. The same heartless person who didn't care enough to wrap this child in a towel or blanket before she covered her in dirt. Think about that. She put dirt on her naked body and was elated the next day. Not a care in the world.
Lynne Markgraf excellent point. The jury needs to see it like you. I would give her the benifit of a reasonable doubt had it not been for facts like this.
She killed her baby. If not by her own hand then by doing nothing to save her. She absolutely looked at this birth as a ruination of her "perfect life" and the fear she had for her parents especially her mother.
I’ve been watching this since the beginning and I just don’t see that the state has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the baby was born alive. All of the evidence about texts, lying to her parents, etc., really doesn’t matter. To me no one has provided enough evidence about a live birth. The whole thing is so sad, the lost little life, a dysfunctional family and a very disturbed young woman. I also hate the way the police interrogated her and how little support her OB provided to her when he knew she didn’t want the child. How about letting her know she could surrender the child no questions asked instead of talking to her about letting her parents know? I am not sure if she would have made a different choice, but still. So infuriating!
Twenty twenty vision is amazing after the fact. The Dr. did an ultra sound so she could see a live baby inside her, so realty would set in. The Dr. office called constantly to bring her back in. The mother of Skylar saw that the Dr.'s bill said PT pregnant. Don't lay blame on everyone else except Skylar. She wanted that baby gone and her belly and life back and so did mommy.
misskitoulana her own words (Skylar Richardson), the baby gurgle and move, then she adds baby was alive for five minutes. She is lying to a fault. Dead babies do not move or gurgle. She is telling how long the baby lived before she ended it's life. This is my opinion but she totally lied she was pregnant. She is NEVER going to admit to hurting the baby.
This right here is gold. State proved nothing, case should have never made it this far. Huge waste of time and money. Skylar needs mental help. The end.
Trek1960 John Doe women that are bleeding heavily and trying to contain that blood in a vessel. Should’ve been the tub at least but we are talking about a girls that had no idea what she was doing.
@@LadanRaissi Her job is to find holes in stories. Which she is doing perfectly. If you think courts are supposed to treat you like a king/queen and cater to what you want, you're sadly mistaken.
Dani Springer i would just like to say...I love the phrase “ad nauseam” haha every time someone writes it or says it I feel like I need to thank them. Lol I know....I’m super random 🤷🏻♀️🤪
Geez, is this incompetent prosecutor ever going to end this cross-examination! I think that the incompetent prosecutor is having a secret love affair with this OBGYN.
Is cross-examination of statements and re-asking to check for changes in story illegal now? A lot of you idiots mad at the prosecutor don't even understand how court, let alone her job works. 😂🤣
There’s always gotta be that one person....who creeps into comments....just to call complete strangers “idiots” because of their opinions. It’s never fails to amaze me 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
She’s just droning on and on and contradicting her own witnesses. Shooting themselves in the foot and proving more reasonable doubt. I guess they realize they are wasting time and money.
I could do without the "tone" that she reads into every response from Skylar - especially as that was not her tone. She sounded confused, scared and immature not belligerent and uncaring. Not advocating for the girl - need to hear all the testimony before I decide. This attorney has some great points but her delivery is terrible.
Agreed & she should be careful because sometimes if jury members find a particular attorney unlikeable, annoying, or condescending - it can affect their decision or opinion in the case.
@@LadanRaissi Right, a lawyer should just read it without any expression or tone. It is made worse by the fact she does that with the questions and then when she uses Skylar's words she adds the tone.
Nobody is helping her by lying for her ., she has no accountability for her actions. Of course she is going to say the baby was still born. Why would she wait 2/12 month's to go back to the same doctor to get birth control. She knew the baby was nothing but bones and she knew nobody could prove if the baby was dead or alive at birth. Stop slapping these people on the wrist hold her accountable now, she may have a chance in life to never take another life ever again . I think this doctor is in love with her or she promised him something.
Please, never ever ever serve on a jury, for God’s sake. You’ll be screaming “Guilty! Guilty! Give him the electric chair!” before the first witness steps off the stand. People are so willing to throw people away, label them as guilty from Day One, forget *everything* about reasonable doubt! Lol- not only is she a guilty vicious baby murderer, who is somehow stupid enough to return to the same doctors office and TELL THE TRUTH, but now she’s also somehow suddenly cunning and conniving enough to bewitch a respected OBGYN who frequently testifies in malpractice cases, and convince him to put his medical practice, license, and life on the line in order to provide false testimony in a criminal court, in order to swing the jury’s verdict in her favor. Yah....ok then. Smh 🤦🏻♀️
Way to go Dr not letting this prosecutor push you around!! That’s what the prosecutor does picks and chooses what fits her own ideas of this young woman and her behavior! I thought we are innocent UNTIL proven guilty!!?
After being in the delivering delivery room with four kids being born I have never heard a baby gurgling. Bunch of funky noises squishy noises when coming out baby comes out, wipe the baby off suction suction baby catches a big deep breath, starts getting his or her color and starts crying and screaming louder than any heavy metal band I've ever heard. And even that's not the case my youngest daughter did all that except for she didn't cry much she wailed for 5 minutes and then it was done. Unlike my oldest who seem to think that she was doing a 10 minute led Zeppelin sing along song. LOL but no gurgling.
You can't base findings off post pregnancy weight, because I had healthy babies and was able to wear my normal clothes two days after having my daughters, so that seems irrelevant to me 🤷♀️
It's hard to keep straight what a mentally ill child says at different times and places. I think the Dr. holds his own with what he has. Not that it matters but I don't like the prosecutor, at all. JMHO.
The defense failed terribly in not preparing their witness. If she was dad and paying the lawyer bill I’d be pissed. I’m not anyone side. It’s just almost making me cringe to hear this testimony
spottedbutt that was asked of the father when he testified. He said the prosecution subpoenaed her, so she’s not allowed to be in the court room. He said she’s been there every day though.
that's my Dr.....he's as far from sleazy as you can imagine.....very professional and kind. Super smart too. If something ever goes wrong he's the right guy you want. Seriously. 💯
Katie Overbey I bet he’s a super doctor, really, but also bet he’s not as keen as he used to be on his trial dollars. He’s had a grueling time on the stand, but believe he picks and chooses details in reports which supports his paymaster...the defense in this case.
Obstetrics and Gynecology is a medical specialty. You never get trained in one without the other, even though some may limit their medical practice to not included both. So he can be an expert despite someone referring to him as a gynecologist
#1. It seems there is so much time and effort wasted in areas that just aren't relevant to this case. Do we agree? #2. So far I have not seen any REAL evidence or PROOF she murdered the baby viciously or maliciously #3. BUT.... her actions/inactions definitely caused harm to the baby - so I think she should be held accountable in some fashion. You dont get to have sex, create a life, then not face the music. You dont get to just ignore "the problem" because it interferes with your happy little life plan. She's acting like a 5 year old spoiled brat, not an 18 year old adult whom by the way is : old enough to have sex, give birth ALL alone, and bury a body then you are old enough to know you need to take care of your health and your baby's health and do the right thing and face the music. Think about that... THIS SITUATION , is why you raise your kids to be held accountable for their inappropriate actions and not spoil the crap out of your kids or become helicopter parents!!!! They will act like this dumb blond when they are 18 and officially adults!!!! This Skylar girl is exactly the result of BAD PARENTING! You don't act this self- indulgent/selfish/self- absorbed without the help of bad parenting. ((((rant over)))) JUST SAYING...
Now back to the case....i also think Skylar took the bc pills thinking it would abort the fetus just like the morning after pill, she's THAT dumb. I'm suprised the prosecution didnt spend more time on that.... everyone knows there is no point in taking bc pills when you are ALREADY prego. I mean, what would be the point? Yet there is skylar taking pills the day after she finds out shes prego religiously everyday... Thoughts on that anyone?
I believe we are looking at a very scared, nieve young lady that was alone in this. She had no medical care and no adequate vitamins or nutrition or birthing info. Brooke doesn't seem like the type of person that would kill her baby. I feel that this baby was definitely a stillborn. I mean an umbilical just doesn't fall out, but hers did.
Candy Apple Sorry I disagree she chose to be alone. She didn’t follow up on medical care. Lastly ladies at the very least don’t bury babies in the garden
This woman is infuriating. Very rude and infuriating. She needs to quit badgering this man, accept defeat when it comes to this issue and move on 55:54
He was just not prepared one bit for this trial. Doesn't make him a joke...well depending on how many thousands of dollars he's getting paid for his testimony.

she is told to show no emotions thats how it works for defense. she was actually visibly shaking when they showed the babies bones.
I am just speechless that this defense expert knows exactly what happened based on documents. Just by reading documents and listening to the defendants interrogation, the baby was stillborn to a reasonable degree of medical certainty. Oh, and the baby had asymmetrical IUGR. He never took an ultrasound. Of course he is going to say what the defense wants him to testify to. Oh goodness!!!!
ALL UNITE exactly.
Cosmo the state’s doctor was paid as well...
The state’s doctor concluded his opinion the same way. With the same reports, so do you think the same of him? He also wasn’t there but says with medical certainty that the baby was alive. Too much doubt! There was an ultrasound taken, that backed up the measurement that Dr Andrew testified to using a tape measure to measure!
@@MrsMrMoney Yes, he was but I've been in the legal field for 26 years and believe me a defense doctor is very, very expensive. Believe me, I would say a lot more than the prosecuters expert witness. JS
How they know the baby was dead
Great expert held his own against a skilled prosecutor . And was PREPARED.
LOL, he was destroyed.
@@BBH101 They're delusional and ignore evidence. Don't mind them. They're the local peanut gallery of this video's comment thread. 😁
Yes! 👏🏻👏🏻
If this is thrown out, we can thank those slimey cops and that police interrogation.
I'm so ready to take the DA's glasses and snap them in half.. it's driving me crazy 😳
If I didn’t know any better, I’d think this could be his first time as an “expert” witness. And quite possibly his last 😳
I wish he would stop saying still born He doesn’t know if the baby was still born
So badly wanted one of the parties (defense/prosecution) to ask the doctor witnesses if they have ever delivered babies with the cord detached, and what the typical outcome of such a situation is?
Prosecutor made a good try but failed. Impressive job by this defense medical expert witness. He was just too intelligent and too prepared for her to trip him up.
Chuck Rosseel Agreed. She gets an “A-“ for effort.
I hope this prosecutor delivers a dynamite summation of all the evasive, contradictory and absurd answers by the defendant. The same heartless person who didn't care enough to wrap this child in a towel or blanket before she covered her in dirt. Think about that. She put dirt on her naked body and was elated the next day. Not a care in the world.
Lynne Markgraf She wrapped her in a towel.
@@tessymerrick7429 the towel was not placed in the shallow grave.
Lynne Markgraf excellent point. The jury needs to see it like you. I would give her the benifit of a reasonable doubt had it not been for facts like this.
She killed her baby. If not by her own hand then by doing nothing to save her. She absolutely looked at this birth as a ruination of her "perfect life" and the fear she had for her parents especially her mother.
Her last statement was incorrect....his report stated July through MID-AUGUST.
I’ve been watching this since the beginning and I just don’t see that the state has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the baby was born alive. All of the evidence about texts, lying to her parents, etc., really doesn’t matter. To me no one has provided enough evidence about a live birth. The whole thing is so sad, the lost little life, a dysfunctional family and a very disturbed young woman. I also hate the way the police interrogated her and how little support her OB provided to her when he knew she didn’t want the child. How about letting her know she could surrender the child no questions asked instead of talking to her about letting her parents know? I am not sure if she would have made a different choice, but still. So infuriating!
Twenty twenty vision is amazing after the fact. The Dr. did an ultra sound so she could see a live baby inside her, so realty would set in. The Dr. office called constantly to bring her back in. The mother of Skylar saw that the Dr.'s bill said PT pregnant. Don't lay blame on everyone else except Skylar. She wanted that baby gone and her belly and life back and so did mommy.
misskitoulana her own words (Skylar Richardson), the baby gurgle and move, then she adds baby was alive for five minutes. She is lying to a fault. Dead babies do not move or gurgle. She is telling how long the baby lived before she ended it's life. This is my opinion but she totally lied she was pregnant. She is NEVER going to admit to hurting the baby.
This right here is gold. State proved nothing, case should have never made it this far. Huge waste of time and money. Skylar needs mental help. The end.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Imagination testimony
😂
LulLu Bell Jingles who delivers a baby on a toilet? case closed.
Trek1960 John Doe women that are bleeding heavily and trying to contain that blood in a vessel. Should’ve been the tub at least but we are talking about a girls that had no idea what she was doing.
Wow. She's tough. I bet he's exhausted. However, he is trying to hold his own.
Dani Springer I agree. She’s a boob. Sit down.
@@LadanRaissi Her job is to find holes in stories. Which she is doing perfectly. If you think courts are supposed to treat you like a king/queen and cater to what you want, you're sadly mistaken.
Dani Springer i would just like to say...I love the phrase “ad nauseam” haha every time someone writes it or says it I feel like I need to thank them. Lol I know....I’m super random 🤷🏻♀️🤪
This doctor is a sell out. For enough money he'll say whatever the defense tells him to. Absolutely disgraceful. He should be ashamed of himself.
Monica Pratt same can be said about the state’s hired doctor as well.
Geez, is this incompetent prosecutor ever going to end this cross-examination! I think that the incompetent prosecutor is having a secret love affair with this OBGYN.
Prosecutor is excellent. The Dr. is a buffoon.
Is cross-examination of statements and re-asking to check for changes in story illegal now? A lot of you idiots mad at the prosecutor don't even understand how court, let alone her job works. 😂🤣
There’s always gotta be that one person....who creeps into comments....just to call complete strangers “idiots” because of their opinions. It’s never fails to amaze me 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
She’s just droning on and on and contradicting her own witnesses. Shooting themselves in the foot and proving more reasonable doubt. I guess they realize they are wasting time and money.
I could do without the "tone" that she reads into every response from Skylar - especially as that was not her tone. She sounded confused, scared and immature not belligerent and uncaring. Not advocating for the girl - need to hear all the testimony before I decide. This attorney has some great points but her delivery is terrible.
Agreed & she should be careful because sometimes if jury members find a particular attorney unlikeable, annoying, or condescending - it can affect their decision or opinion in the case.
That was very annoying to me too.
@@LadanRaissi Right, a lawyer should just read it without any expression or tone. It is made worse by the fact she does that with the questions and then when she uses Skylar's words she adds the tone.
Nobody is helping her by lying for her ., she has no accountability for her actions. Of course she is going to say the baby was still born. Why would she wait 2/12 month's to go back to the same doctor to get birth control. She knew the baby was nothing but bones and she knew nobody could prove if the baby was dead or alive at birth. Stop slapping these people on the wrist hold her accountable now, she may have a chance in life to never take another life ever again . I think this doctor is in love with her or she promised him something.
Patricia Knost honestly, I don’t think this girl is that smart. She seems a few crayons short of a box.
playsinrain I agree, and she didn't do any related internet searches either.
Please, never ever ever serve on a jury, for God’s sake. You’ll be screaming “Guilty! Guilty! Give him the electric chair!” before the first witness steps off the stand.
People are so willing to throw people away, label them as guilty from Day One, forget *everything* about reasonable doubt! Lol- not only is she a guilty vicious baby murderer, who is somehow stupid enough to return to the same doctors office and TELL THE TRUTH, but now she’s also somehow suddenly cunning and conniving enough to bewitch a respected OBGYN who frequently testifies in malpractice cases, and convince him to put his medical practice, license, and life on the line in order to provide false testimony in a criminal court, in order to swing the jury’s verdict in her favor.
Yah....ok then. Smh 🤦🏻♀️
This prosecutor is just wasting time talking in circles.
Why could he not answer all of her questions like he answered the defenses questions
Way to go Dr not letting this prosecutor push you around!! That’s what the prosecutor does picks and chooses what fits her own ideas of this young woman and her behavior! I thought we are innocent UNTIL proven guilty!!?
I think the defense should have NEVER used this Doctor. There was enough doubt beforehand but now I think there's more confirmation.
I love this woman
What does “Bossing it up” mean?
ThePurple 1 it all depends on context but... kicking ass, showing it who’s in charge.
I was told the baby was biracial..I don't know that as fact but maybe that's why she referred to it as white. ?
Why didn’t the father tell the elder Mr. Rickars to please, please let his son do the questioning. He is so much more effective.
After being in the delivering delivery room with four kids being born I have never heard a baby gurgling. Bunch of funky noises squishy noises when coming out baby comes out, wipe the baby off suction suction baby catches a big deep breath, starts getting his or her color and starts crying and screaming louder than any heavy metal band I've ever heard. And even that's not the case my youngest daughter did all that except for she didn't cry much she wailed for 5 minutes and then it was done. Unlike my oldest who seem to think that she was doing a 10 minute led Zeppelin sing along song. LOL but no gurgling.
Where is baby Richardson father in all of this madness?
who is he
Anyone know when Wednesdays Trial starts?
Rebecca Manship started at 9am. Currently on a break till 2:30
You can't base findings off post pregnancy weight, because I had healthy babies and was able to wear my normal clothes two days after having my daughters, so that seems irrelevant to me 🤷♀️
thats not the norm though
This doc has no credibly
It's hard to keep straight what a mentally ill child says at different times and places. I think the Dr. holds his own with what he has. Not that it matters but I don't like the prosecutor, at all. JMHO.
so they call him to be an expert witness at around $400 an hour..................
kantwinnada the state paid $5000 per day for court appearance and $550 and hour for their expert...
Talking about being sued for medical malpractice I think wehave a candidate right here
The defense failed terribly in not preparing their witness. If she was dad and paying the lawyer bill I’d be pissed. I’m not anyone side. It’s just almost making me cringe to hear this testimony
why did skylar say she tried to set fire to her and even told her parents she tried to set fire to her she didnt do it without somerhing to ignite it
Is he really Doctor? Someone should check his diploma.
I almost feel sorry for the OB-GYN who is giving his opinion!! He is stuck with trying to back up a defendant who has lied over and over!!
WHERE IS THIS GIRLS MOTHER????
spottedbutt that was asked of the father when he testified. He said the prosecution subpoenaed her, so she’s not allowed to be in the court room. He said she’s been there every day though.
This dr. looks a little sleazy imo.
that's my Dr.....he's as far from sleazy as you can imagine.....very professional and kind. Super smart too. If something ever goes wrong he's the right guy you want. Seriously. 💯
Ok then I take it back.
Nice2MeetYou he keeps going back on what he says. He’s a horrible witness.
How is that man sleazy?!
Katie Overbey I bet he’s a super doctor, really, but also bet he’s not as keen as he used to be on his trial dollars.
He’s had a grueling time on the stand, but believe he picks and chooses details in reports which supports his paymaster...the defense in this case.
This woman is difficult to deal with lol daang she's driving me crazy! Mind f like hell
Why is he even testifying if he is a gynecologist? He isnt an OB so no he is NOT an expert!!!! Love this prosecutor!!!
Obstetrics and Gynecology is a medical specialty. You never get trained in one without the other, even though some may limit their medical practice to not included both. So he can be an expert despite someone referring to him as a gynecologist
The state continued to badger this girl and feed her the info they wanted to hear. The prosecutor is a complete dip.
I'm no doctor and I can clearly see this doctor's testimony is anything but credible.
What color was she expecting her baby to be. Her and the father were white? All jokes aside...babies are covered in a white film when borned
And the white vernix caseosa which covers a baby at birth is not sticky, it is like the most luxurious body lotion ever.
Exactly he knows that
Both my husband and I are white, all my babies came out blueish purple...
@@AlinaSween Because there were alive :)
Prosecutor really got him on the cord being around the shoulder part. As if he was there!
this was intense
Narrow minded Doc who didn't do his homework who jumped on the " stillborn" train way too soon. Now he's looking more and more like a fool.
Tip to the Defence Team: don't play poker. Your anxiety is written clearly on your faces. This prosecutor is brilliant.
Hangin' Out 😂😂😂😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Do they have souls
#1. It seems there is so much time and effort wasted in areas that just aren't relevant to this case. Do we agree? #2. So far I have not seen any REAL evidence or PROOF she murdered the baby viciously or maliciously #3. BUT.... her actions/inactions definitely caused harm to the baby - so I think she should be held accountable in some fashion. You dont get to have sex, create a life, then not face the music. You dont get to just ignore "the problem" because it interferes with your happy little life plan. She's acting like a 5 year old spoiled brat, not an 18 year old adult whom by the way is : old enough to have sex, give birth ALL alone, and bury a body then you are old enough to know you need to take care of your health and your baby's health and do the right thing and face the music. Think about that... THIS SITUATION , is why you raise your kids to be held accountable for their inappropriate actions and not spoil the crap out of your kids or become helicopter parents!!!! They will act like this dumb blond when they are 18 and officially adults!!!! This Skylar girl is exactly the result of BAD PARENTING! You don't act this self- indulgent/selfish/self- absorbed without the help of bad parenting. ((((rant over)))) JUST SAYING...
Now back to the case....i also think Skylar took the bc pills thinking it would abort the fetus just like the morning after pill, she's THAT dumb. I'm suprised the prosecution didnt spend more time on that.... everyone knows there is no point in taking bc pills when you are ALREADY prego. I mean, what would be the point? Yet there is skylar taking pills the day after she finds out shes prego religiously everyday... Thoughts on that anyone?
Dang now the mama gotta find a new gynecologist.
Can someone tell did she get charged for murder
Not guilty
That’s at smart man!!!!!!!
Prosecutor did a good job on cross examination . I still think the baby was still born though. Witness got tripped up.
Ditto. I think the cross was great. But I still think the baby was stillborn.
I believe we are looking at a very scared, nieve young lady that was alone in this. She had no medical care and no adequate vitamins or nutrition or birthing info. Brooke doesn't seem like the type of person that would kill her baby. I feel that this baby was definitely a stillborn. I mean an umbilical just doesn't fall out, but hers did.
Candy Apple Sorry I disagree she chose to be alone. She didn’t follow up on medical care. Lastly ladies at the very least don’t bury babies in the garden
@@weeannie495 not a crime
All dead babies are buried in the ground.... or cremated.
Oh my this people r out off control
She lie about everything this guy dont know what he is talking about
This woman is infuriating. Very rude and infuriating. She needs to quit badgering this man, accept defeat when it comes to this issue and move on 55:54
43:00 She said the baby was white when she was asked because she knew the dad was black
They did a dna,test the father was white
Wee Annie dad was Trey Johnson who is WHITE. PROVEN FACT!
Thanks
This doctor is a joke.
He is such an amazing Dr! He is my personal Dr. And delivered my kid. Such a compassionate and smart man!
Katie Overbey I hope he’s a better doctor than a witness. Because he is bombing in court
Being under oath in such a big criminal trial is nerve wrecking. That doesn’t make him a joke.
Britanny B ok then a clown instead
He was just not prepared one bit for this trial. Doesn't make him a joke...well depending on how many thousands of dollars he's getting paid for his testimony.
Wow this dr is horrible and all his testimony is all over the place. I completely lost all respect for any evidence he gives.
She give birth in her room
She’s made her point move on!
Way to ruin your reputation and credibility dr
NERDBALL
None of what I've seen proves that the baby was alive.
80s Lady or dead
Agreed!
Ciara Wetherell very true. Which is why she can’t be charged with murder. Too much reasonable doubt!
@@MrsMrMoney Exactly.
As much as I believe it was alive , I see the jury having reasonable dout. But she will get the abuse of the corpse charge
No, the transcript doesn't say that she used a goofy, dismossive and stereotypically low-IQ intonation when she said "I don't remember".
