The interaction between the parents and Skylar in the interrogation room provided a wealth of knowledge. Especially the affect of the mother. Very strange. No affection, no urge to protect. Even pulled her hand back when Skylar was reaching for it. She barely said anything to her except “it is all over the news now”. Typical white dysfunction family. In order to maintain the perfect familial image their daughter had to resort to Bulimia and I am sure the mom pops a Xanax with a little Rose to relax from her stressful life. That’s how we roll in Suburbia.
I respectfully disagree. The defense is doing a good job to humanize her. I believe shes scared to death sitting there but it's coming off as if shes cold. Why is anyone suprised that she buried her lifeless newborn. Our society does not value how precious each life is. We practice euthanasia, the death penalty is the law of the land, and abortion is legal!!! I actually feel sorry for this confused young woman.
the baby was born. she buried the baby, it was probably still alive. she marked the grave. she cleaned up the murder scene. she went to workout the next day. she posted some screwed up after pregnancy pictures. then the dad said, "my daughter would not harm anybody, not even a child! then what was the baby? trash? I know that if her dog had died, she would've showed some emption! why no emotion for the child?" she acting like the trial is disrupting her workout schedule.
This is probably a “no duh” statement, but there’s some very intense mental illness going on here. I wish one of the requirements from the charge that did stick was mandatory psychotherapy. There’s something severely wrong with this person, and she needs help for the sake of any potential future children she may have.

@@susierob293 There's a lot of Land in the family's possession, they own and the grandparents' so I don't see how they could claim it's justified for the State to pay for her defence.
So are we supposed to assume that this girl is not a murderer because she loved her little brother and dog? Come on! Completely irrelevant and people are much different as kids than they are as teens. Just shows that the defense is really reaching for any way to prove the obvious. I certainly hope money isn't able to buy her freedom!
@@pyypepeThey are going to milk the sympathy vote, which I'm fairly sure shouldn't even be admissible. Pointing out that she worked with kids only shows that she knows how much work a baby would be EVERY DAY FOR LIFE. Prosecutors should milk that!
Mind Squash this line of questioning is meant for mitigation. It's going to back fire though because it proves how vain she was about her weight and her mother promoted it.
You mean naming the baby, burying it, putting flowers on the grave. Not particularly enjoying being accused by nasty affair-having detectives… not enjoying having her words twisted to claim she burned the baby with a lighter… you just can’t accept that she didn’t murder that child, even though you have zero evidence.
If she hadnt done what she did her room would still be her room. The cops are worried about what happened to this poor baby. Stop making Skylar look like shes a damn angel.
Why would her mother not leave work when she got a phone call saying her daughter was at the police station, she finished her days work! In her red prom dress she looks pregnant to me! ( the night she went to the prom)
Depends on the type of witness they are. He seems to be (haven’t finished the video) a character witness so that wouldn’t exclude him from hearing any criminal testimony.
How the heck did she not make any noise while delivering?? I was screaming extremely loud even with my 32week baby who was tiny. I know women do it all the time. She is so tiny it had to be very painful. I agree the mom knew.
Life With Duchenne she worked out a lot and was very fit. My first child I was a month from turning 21. I worked out 4 times a week. I delivered my first in 26 min, 3 sets of pushes, no screams no loud sounds at all. After the delivery I felt like I was never pregnant right away. ... fast forward years later, I had 2 other children. I had done health issues. I didn’t get to work out like I used to. Needless to say the next 2 pregnancies and deliveries were very different. There were a few noises then 😉
Judge is irritating the halls of justice. The pictures of Skylar as a baby or toddler were indeed irrelevant but judge overruled the objection by prosecution. Bad call!
He seems to be on the defense’s side for this trial, just my opinion, but a judge like this wasn’t going to let a girl like that see the inside of a jail cell, not even for a few weeks.
So for those saying the dad is loving and she loves her brother and dog doesnt that prove there is even MORE of an issue. She buried her daughter under a pot hidden in the backyard. If he is such an amazing father (and I'm sure he is because he also wanted to know why she lied so much in the tapes) why then did she not say anything to him? Cause shes to blame NOT him.
I agree 💯! Hearing his testimony only makes me feel less sorry for her! She had more than most kids it sounds like! A mother and father unit in her family, financially stable, and extended family.
This comment is 💯. A lot of people are badmouthing him and talking about how if he was a better father she would have told him... I’m sorry, she gave birth and buried a child in the backyard, does that really sound like someone who would be afraid of her parents to the extent of hiding a pregnancy? No lol she did it because it was inconvenient for her to have a child and probably knew they would make her keep it. Let’s be real here, she didn’t come clean about being pregnant because she is a psychopath not because she was intimidated lol you are 100% right!
She knew she was pregnant and chose to not tell anyone about it and chose to not get prenatal care, chose to continue to abuse her body with another life inside, and IF the baby was not alive at birth she chose to not get the baby medical help that could have potentially saved her life. Her choices are what led that child`s death even IF she did not kill her after birth which I seriously doubt.
Oh noes, the cops made a big mess when they found a dead baby on our property and then didn’t clean it up, can you believe the injustice of it all??? 🙄🙄🙄🙄
There's a difference between caring for other people's children and loving/caring/raising ones own child. Especially if one feels it'll ruin one's life. Def making that correlation in this case holds very little stock IMO.
The father's testimony is a waste of the jury's time. Obviously the parents are not bright. They thought the police would just let this go?!! They found a DEAD BABY!! How arrogant and privileged this father sounds!!! WHAT MAKES HER SO SPECIAL????
Editing and shadowing of the older pictures as compared to the ones nearer to the time of delivery. Sneaky, just like putting her in a chair at such a lower level to make her look small and younger as compared to her attorneys
Who cares how long the father waited to go in the room with his daughter..... SHE IS AN ADULT PEOPLE!!! And common sense You know you are being recorded. DUH!! Dont even go there.
Seriously, everyone should know that they are being recorded if they are in an interview room. And how many times did the defense mention the 6x8 room without windows? Ridiculous!
@@Ecology0136 I guess all blame has to be put on someone else with such an entitled family. Which PD is it that tells ANYONE they interview that they should get an attorney? Another great argument for the defense...so stupid.
I've watched quite a few trials where a mom is accused of murdering their child. This is the first that does not scream guilty. Her Dad came off as genuine and loving.
@Mari NothingElse reasonable doubt. Does not mean no doubt. It means a reasonable person can find the person guilty or not guilty.due to the evidence presented it does not mean beyond a shadow of doubt.this is what confuses juries.
I also agree they want to make an example of her. I think the baby was stillborn, that it was premature, that the cord was not attached. Listen to the testimony.
I can't believe the judge allowed her father to testify, given that he's been in the courtroom from day 1. The prosecution should have challenged this sneaky move!
nothing sneaky. totally legal. if anything it was the state that pulled the sneaky card by subpoenaing the mother so she could not be in the court room with her family... and never even called her.
I'm not sure what the stroll down memory lane is going to prove, it's not going to bring her baby back, and charles manson, ted bundy, and jeffrey dahmer were children once.
@@julielaidlaw2412 In case your memory escapes you, she killed a defenseless baby. I don't think the comparison is harsh just bcuz she didn't kill multiple people. She's just as bad as the rest.
@@julielaidlaw2412 I never said she was, serial killer is your word sparky. Make sure you read what you comment on so you don't sound like an idiot. You can quote me on baby killer.
One thing that bothers me very much I've buried a couple of dogs I loved very much,and I always wrapped them in something not just throw them in the ground!Like she did her child!
Exactly! She even said she was holding the baby in a towel, so why wouldn't she at least keep her in it? Maybe afraid of leaving evidence behind? Altho she doesn't come across as much of a thinker (to put it nicely).
@@judyberends4586 I agree. That one action really bothers me. I don't know if her baby was alive, but I do think this would have been a different trial if she would have lawyered up instead of talking to the police.
Of course she “helped out” after all, her mother wanted her to uphold views. Including community ones. Being liked and well known around the community. Bigggg shocker! Not.
It wouldn't take much for me to think Mama knew she was pregnant.. She may or may not have told anyone, including Skylar but I'm thinking she at least suspected it. She's evil !
Hmm. This father seems like this is a huge inconvenience for him. This family was so dysfunctional clearly from the interviews and texts messages between mom. So sad. This was murder.
I'm not understanding what your getting at? Are you saying girls who are 17 years old and younger who get pregnant and don't kill their baby and bury the baby naked in their back yard are amazing or have superpowers that they told someone and even made plans for what they're going to do. Nope, that's being responsible and thinking about something other than themselves. Skylar turned 18 in March. Skylar didn't buy a baby blanket, a small pack of diapers, nothing for that baby. The moment that baby came out the baby was going to die one way or another.
i mean have you watched all the videos of the trial?? the prosecutions case is weak & circumstantial at best. The prosecution is definitely the underdog
He's making it seem like they have a fantasy family life when we know better. You could tell how emotionally distant they are form the police video of them in the interrogation room with her. Then all the liquor bottles in the crime scene photos tell a lot. This is all BS. If you ask me, this is hurting the defense. I think they did not hear anything because they were drinking.
This back and forth weight don't mean S@×T whenever I was in high school my weight was 105 and I was '5 feet 4" and I had a eating disorder and the same I got pregnant and was terrified of my Dad and did not want to disappoint my Mom ,I was to 18 years old, and I delivered a 81/2 pound baby girl,my Dad made me give her up for adoption, I would never have killed my baby no matter what ,my opinion is she killed that little ANGEL and should be held accountable for it.
Babies dont always cry when they r born my son did not it made me panic I thought something was wrong he still never cried when he had his shots and he is 7 and still like that today he is tough he doesnt cry if he skins his knee or whatever. So just because the baby didnt cry doesn't mean it was stillborn! Horseshit!
Thank god the dad now realizes that he messed up by not having a lawyer in the room with her. Also, momma is gonna have some ‘splaining to do over the whole cheering her on over losing weight while he was trying to keep her healthy.
What the hell does her childhood and eating disorder have to do with the horrible crime she committed? So over this BS about the poor little girl the victim is that baby she murdered
Exactly the photos have NOTHING to do with this bloody case! This judge should be disbarred. He is so helpful & let's the defences get away with disgraceful behavior (shouting at the pathologist) and allowing the stupid baby photos Who cares about HER CHILDHOOD! WE want to talk about how she murdered her baby!
Scotslass the lawyer is trying to paint a certain picture of Skylar. Showing from an early age she was loving and kind with animals, her brother, other people. Trying to paint the picture each of her parents were living and affectionate parents. Again trying to paint the softer side of skylar. I’m not agreeing or disagreeing with this... just my opinion/observation. It’s been a pattern in other cases like this for the defendants attorney to use.
It was static and deliberate .. by subpoenaing Mom they prevented her from being in there and testifying for defense that she put unneeded pressure on Skylar blaming herself. So when and if they needed her she would be called for the prosecution and that would look against Skylar. Sly move by prosecutors
I would like to know when "it" was named "Annabelle"? Would that have been once the defense lawyer was appointed? I think it might have been to sweeten the defense dialogue.
the aussie gypsy she called the baby annabell in the second interrogation. I think this was before the attorney had been hired bc surely if he was on the case before then he wouldn’t have allowed that questioning to happen.
@@MrsMrMoney So now police can't ask criminals or alleged criminals questions? What an idiotic idea. "Yeah, lets just let them not have to speak or answer to anybody, and when she gets off scott free and kills another 8 kids, *then* we'll ask questions."
@@Ecology0136 Exactly. And people make excuses for this girl's behaviour because her mother allegedly 'made' her self concious about her weight and 'made' her anorexic. While what her mother did was horrible to this girl, it CANNOT excuse the murder of a newborn. If I was a judge, I wouldn't be buying any of the bullsh*t they're trying to sell.
Gotta love the camera work, father visible through ENTIRE trial, and followed full body to the witness stand, then finally camera focuses on chest. What was the point in that ?
Why would the prosecutors be so mean as to subpoena the mom at a witness, never called her to stand, but used the well known "trick" of a subpoena just to keep the mother out of the courtroom?
People will still make excuses for the worthless, horrible girl. People actually believe her crocodile tears and fake trembling. This whole case screams 'murder' to me and I'm looking at it from the same angle you are.
She wants them so she can televise and fake a funeral to show the world how much she "cared" for the baby. Just verbal manipulation to tug at the jury's heartstrings.
@@AlinaSween Okay, prove she didn't. I gave you three articles that state (with evidence) that she did it. And you completely ignored them to parrot your bullsh*t opinions as facts and to further your agenda.
@@marysmother1152 Let's hope the jury is smarter than others. It is concerning to think that this girl may get away with murder. Since when is it ok with people to bury a body in their backyard and not have jail time?!? No excuse for this
Wait. So she missed a court date? "She confirmed she was aware" Seems like all other appointments should be cancelled, like, about for the next 25 to life.
Early on it was believed that the mother wasn't present in the courtroom due to her having to testify...But the father is testifying and has been in court
I think it depends on what type of witness you are. He may be a character witness which wouldn’t exclude him from hearing criminal testimony in the case.
@@ashleym4095 I decided to do some research. It sounds to me like the is either absent on her own or the state or defense asked the Judge for an exclusion order. From what I read it is perfectly legal for expert witnesses to be in the courtroom unless an exclusion order is sought. An exclusion order may be sought to keep a testifying witness from tailoring their story to another's, but that makes no sense here because the trial is broadcast daily
For everyone benefit, I happened upon a video of a Hoover institute(I'm not sure) but the method of interrogation is called the "Reid Method" . It is one of courses taught to law enforcement. There are a few other courses. I think everyone should be aware & make their families aware. I'm a big law & order person, but I'm uncomfortable about taping & recording without notification of family or possible witnesses of a defendant of their legal rights. This was an interrogation textbook approach. It is alright by law to do a certain amount if lying to anyone who are possibly facing charges. The boundaries seem to be at times a .moving target. If we as a society want more rights for victims, We must clean up unfair procedures too. You must assume if you are in public, you have no rights to privacy. You must understand that police property are not private anywhere.
Claudine Schultz let me help you... She was read her rights each time interrogated and the police can use the Reid method...which is like the holding her hand, telling her it will be OK to tell the truth, telling her the father wants remains of his grandchild, humanizing the baby to the Lil B* by calling her Annabelle, and it's irrelevant the parents not being told about recording going on bc they weren't detained or arrested or suspects....the then 18 year old was.
@@PechilvrsPreciousPeepsNursery nonetheless everyone should know and understand this method. It's been more than proven to bring about false confessions. Not saying that this young woman falsely confessed to anything. However the Reid Method should seriously be reconsidered as an appropriate means of interrogation.
This is not normal. This judge is giving her side an advantage. She has this crew charmed and conned. A character testimony pre-verdict. I would object if I was the prosecutor.
Ive been thinking about how when babies are born the Doctors and medical team have to suction the fluid in their nose and mouth in order to breathe with their lungs for the first time. I remember my Beautiful Son was blue and they wisked him away and kept suctioning his mouth which felt like an eternity until finally I heard him cry. 25 years later he is 6 4" a Handsome smart kind young Man. Thank you Jesus for Blessing me the greatest gift I could ever receive. So im wondering could that of happened with Annabelle Angel.....and has anyone else have that happen at child birth or know if its done always for babies at birth seeing they live and breath fluid for 9 months. Thanks Guys!
Umm, I'm pretty sure they don't "breathe" in fluid in the womb. I've never given birth but I was fascinated with this topic a few yrs back. Oxygen and nourishment along with waste from the baby's body flows through the umbilical cord. They don't breathe until outside the womb. That's when they cry....crying also helps to clear passage and gets lungs to start wrking. 😉
A dads life turned upside down is trying to show that a town that looks perfect has its problems too. More we talk about it, more we can avoid problems. I hope after her sentence is finished they’ll be allowed to leave all together.
Skyler has literally ZERO EMOTIONS!!!! If my father had to go on stand to defend my character, for doing something so incredibly evil, I would have been crying my eyes out.. She is just setting there. Not even embarrassed, sad, just totally unemotional. This story is disgusting on every level. 😔
Her mother encourage her to abort the baby because there's something about the mother that hates seeing her daughter being FAT!! Seriously, Skylar's parents don't even seem like that know right parenting! What kind of parents would encourage their own daughter/son to look skinny otherwise they won't treat them well? -- I mean, did you see their texts? Parents should teach their kids to love their body no matter what!
I always felt that she panicked and in her panic she rushed to get the baby out of the house not checking to see how the baby was doing at all, then buried her. Now after seeing all of the texts back and forth with her so called mother, I'm now convinced that not only did Skyler kill her baby but mommy had a hand in it. The birth control pills were supposed to be the method to kill the baby but it backfired. I never understood how after being in labor and delivering the baby, Skyler had the energy to clean up so well, then dig a hole to bury the baby in a dark back yard and not to mention move that heavy flower pot all by herself. I feel she had a bit of help from ole dysfunctional mommy.
This is absolutely ridiculous and has NOTHING to do with the innocent baby girl 😔 This just shows how she's just so perfect, a princess, popular cheerleader who is so self absorbed and does no wrong, and I'm so over the bs front her father is putting on like they're all so happy and have the perfect family when we know that couldn't be further from the truth. This girl acts like her cold hearted mother and wants to pretend she's the best thing since sliced bread and heaven Forbid anyone think differently, plus this B has shown absolutely NO emotion, except for herself because she knew she was busted. There's absolutely no way her mom didn't know she was pregnant ( You could tell for sure in her prom dress ) and her mom pushed her to get rid of the belly ( baby ) and I'm almost certain her mom helped her cover it up. I know others think differently and that's fine, but something isn't adding up and her innocent poor me, baby attitude isn't cutting it for me! I do however feel bad for her when it comes to her pos mom and trying to always please her, because a mother is to love their child no matter what!
Too many angry people in the comments. It's amazing human behavior, never look for their own mistakes in live ..... This girl will live all her life with what happen to the baby. That's enough for punishment trough the rest of her existence. Stop pointing the finger, and look deep inside your behaviors , judge your own mistakes. Live and let live.
So...I’m a little less than halfway in to the Dad’s testimony and, imho, all of this info seems irrelevant to this fact; DESPERATE PEOPLE DO DESPERATE THINGS. Period.
do any of these family members/bf think, _if she kept everything quiet/ a secret, after her labor, what was she gonna do, just come & wake everybody up then, tell everyone then? why else would she hv been soo quiet.
That's exactly why they should find it obvious that she murdered the baby! What was her plan if the baby was alive then? She had no plan bc her only plan was to make sure the baby was *not* alive. Otherwise she would've told her parents at some point. Or when she saw the baby was not breathing, she would've gone to them for help or called 911! But no, she didn't do that. She decided to just bury it in the yard and go workout instead. The baby would've been am embarrassment for her mother and she knew it. The baby would've "ruined her life" and her "life would be over" if she had a baby, and she knew that bc that's what her mother told her when the doctor accidentally emailed her and said Skylar was pregnant.
Agreed. Said from day one no matter the end result is the same. I only hope that baby was stillborn and wasnt murdered at the hands of her mother. Because that's exactly what Skylar would have done if she didnt. But I digress.
They should be objecting to photos of the 'rainbows' showing other peoples children especially when she isnt even in the picture....how are they relevant. I would be livid if they showed my childs face on a televised court case that had nothing to do with her!
Skylar, Brooke when all said and done & this nightmare is over I'll be there from Australia with your family standing next to you, I'll hold you and support you. I believe in you and no matter the outcome, whether corruptions wins or the truth prevails I believe in you. x x x
Wow she must have been so scared of those parents to such a degree that she is willing to bury her own innocent baby which was a human being who deserved better treatment than what she gave her just to keep the secret from her parents.

Not particularly enjoying being accused by nasty affair-having detectives… not enjoying having her words twisted to claim she burned the baby with a lighter… you just can’t accept that she didn’t murder that child, even though you have zero evidence.
If she hadnt done what she did her room would still be her room. The cops are worried about what happened to this poor baby. Stop making Skylar look like shes a damn angel.
Why would her mother not leave work when she got a phone call saying her daughter was at the police station, she finished her days work!
In her red prom dress she looks pregnant to me! ( the night she went to the prom)
She looked pregnant to me too. 🤦♀️
The more I watch of this trial, the more suspicious I am that the mother knew about the pregnancy and was pushing Skylar to end it.
He loves pictures don't he I don't see what this has to do with her killing her newborn
Shows anyone is capable of heinous acts?
They need to show she was once around a baby she didn’t kill
Why did defense object to the pretend happy family picture? And why haven't I heard any of them refer to the death of their first grandchild?
And yet NON of these “kids” are a newborn baby ARE they
Kaytie Marie EXACTLY!!
And none of them ruin her planed college life or her rockin bod! You are so correct
Wait....so why could her dad watch the trial but NOT her mom if they were both getting called as witnesses? What am I missing here?
PeaceLove &Music Exactly what I’m wondering?!
KMM right?!!! Just add it to the list of bizarreness surrounding this case🤔
PeaceLove &Music yes!
Depends on the type of witness they are. He seems to be (haven’t finished the video) a character witness so that wouldn’t exclude him from hearing any criminal testimony.
How the heck did she not make any noise while delivering?? I was screaming extremely loud even with my 32week baby who was tiny. I know women do it all the time. She is so tiny it had to be very painful. I agree the mom knew.
Some very healthy, very fit people do not have the problems (you cite), when delivering their babies.
Karen MacDonald Skyler wasn’t healthy🤷🏻♀️
Life With Duchenne she worked out a lot and was very fit. My first child I was a month from turning 21. I worked out 4 times a week. I delivered my first in 26 min, 3 sets of pushes, no screams no loud sounds at all. After the delivery I felt like I was never pregnant right away. ... fast forward years later, I had 2 other children. I had done health issues. I didn’t get to work out like I used to. Needless to say the next 2 pregnancies and deliveries were very different. There were a few noises then 😉
Thankyou for streaming this, greatly appreciated😗😃🤗🤗
Every time the defense attorney says “um” everyone do a shot!
Judge is irritating the halls of justice. The pictures of Skylar as a baby or toddler were indeed irrelevant but judge overruled the objection by prosecution. Bad call!
He seems to be on the defense’s side for this trial, just my opinion, but a judge like this wasn’t going to let a girl like that see the inside of a jail cell, not even for a few weeks.
LOL MR RICHARDSON DOSENT WANT TO BE FILMED BUT HE WAS FILMED WALKING UP TO THE WITNESS BOX.😁😁😁😁😁
So for those saying the dad is loving and she loves her brother and dog doesnt that prove there is even MORE of an issue. She buried her daughter under a pot hidden in the backyard. If he is such an amazing father (and I'm sure he is because he also wanted to know why she lied so much in the tapes) why then did she not say anything to him? Cause shes to blame NOT him.
She never teached out for help for the baby.
I agree 💯! Hearing his testimony only makes me feel less sorry for her! She had more than most kids it sounds like! A mother and father unit in her family, financially stable, and extended family.
This comment is 💯. A lot of people are badmouthing him and talking about how if he was a better father she would have told him... I’m sorry, she gave birth and buried a child in the backyard, does that really sound like someone who would be afraid of her parents to the extent of hiding a pregnancy? No lol she did it because it was inconvenient for her to have a child and probably knew they would make her keep it. Let’s be real here, she didn’t come clean about being pregnant because she is a psychopath not because she was intimidated lol you are 100% right!
I’ve said it a lot. NEVER EVER SPEAK TO POLICE!!!!! NOT EVEN WITH A LAWYER!!!!!! REMAIN SILENT!!!!
She knew she was pregnant and chose to not tell anyone about it and chose to not get prenatal care, chose to continue to abuse her body with another life inside, and IF the baby was not alive at birth she chose to not get the baby medical help that could have potentially saved her life. Her choices are what led that child`s death even IF she did not kill her after birth which I seriously doubt.
Oh noes, the cops made a big mess when they found a dead baby on our property and then didn’t clean it up, can you believe the injustice of it all???
🙄🙄🙄🙄
These people are so out of touch with reality. Wow 🤭😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😅😆.
There's a difference between caring for other people's children and loving/caring/raising ones own child. Especially if one feels it'll ruin one's life. Def making that correlation in this case holds very little stock IMO.
Did she ever say that the child would ruin her life or was that the mother?
The father's testimony is a waste of the jury's time.
Obviously the parents are not bright. They thought the police would just let this go?!! They found a DEAD BABY!!
How arrogant and privileged this father sounds!!!
WHAT MAKES HER SO SPECIAL????
Editing and shadowing of the older pictures as compared to the ones nearer to the time of delivery. Sneaky, just like putting her in a chair at such a lower level to make her look small and younger as compared to her attorneys
Who cares how long the father waited to go in the room with his daughter..... SHE IS AN ADULT PEOPLE!!! And common sense You know you are being recorded. DUH!! Dont even go there.
Seriously, everyone should know that they are being recorded if they are in an interview room. And how many times did the defense mention the 6x8 room without windows? Ridiculous!
@@Ecology0136 I guess all blame has to be put on someone else with such an entitled family. Which PD is it that tells ANYONE they interview that they should get an attorney? Another great argument for the defense...so stupid.
She cares about someone else's kids more than she did her own daughter.
I've watched quite a few trials where a mom is accused of murdering their child. This is the first that does not scream guilty. Her Dad came off as genuine and loving.
My thoughts too.
@Mari NothingElse reasonable doubt. Does not mean no doubt. It means a reasonable person can find the person guilty or not guilty.due to the evidence presented it does not mean beyond a shadow of doubt.this is what confuses juries.
She is guilty
I also agree they want to make an example of her. I think the baby was stillborn, that it was premature, that the cord was not attached. Listen to the testimony.
I like the dad.
I can't believe the judge allowed her father to testify, given that he's been in the courtroom from day 1. The prosecution should have challenged this sneaky move!
Not how it works.
nothing sneaky. totally legal. if anything it was the state that pulled the sneaky card by subpoenaing the mother so she could not be in the court room with her family... and never even called her.
I'm not sure what the stroll down memory lane is going to prove, it's not going to bring her baby back, and charles manson, ted bundy, and jeffrey dahmer were children once.
Carol Mahoney that's a bit harsh she is not a serial killer
@@julielaidlaw2412 she's done a heinous crime(yes she has)...sociopath for sure!
@@julielaidlaw2412 In case your memory escapes you, she killed a defenseless baby. I don't think the comparison is harsh just bcuz she didn't kill multiple people. She's just as bad as the rest.
Carol Mahoney 🤣 good point!!
@@julielaidlaw2412 I never said she was, serial killer is your word sparky. Make sure you read what you comment on so you don't sound like an idiot. You can quote me on baby killer.
One thing that bothers me very much I've buried a couple of dogs I loved very much,and I always wrapped them in something not just throw them in the ground!Like she did her child!
Exactly! She even said she was holding the baby in a towel, so why wouldn't she at least keep her in it? Maybe afraid of leaving evidence behind? Altho she doesn't come across as much of a thinker (to put it nicely).
Maybe mom got rid of the baby!
I just don't understand how she buried her baby in the dirt. No blanket or box just dirt. Sad.
@@judyberends4586 I agree. That one action really bothers me. I don't know if her baby was alive, but I do think this would have been a different trial if she would have lawyered up instead of talking to the police.
@@CAJUNBEE It wouldn't shock me!
how does she have an apple watch on? has she been out of jail until trial? im confused
She has been on house arrest
Think I read that neighbor turned her in for partying while out on bond
It's weird that she had a boyfriend while knowing she was pregnant 🙄 and brushing it off like it was nothing ... Very bizzare behavior.
Of course she “helped out” after all, her mother wanted her to uphold views. Including community ones. Being liked and well known around the community. Bigggg shocker! Not.
Why doesn't she look at her father....or any other witnesses....she's too special I guess.
Something is a little odd about this Judge-He seems to be basking in this. I can't explain it. But something is off.
Furrybaby He probably doesn’t get to hear exciting, high-profile cases like this very often. I’d be at the edge of me seat too.
It wouldn't take much for me to think Mama knew she was pregnant.. She may or may not have told anyone, including Skylar but I'm thinking she at least suspected it. She's evil !
Hmm. This father seems like this is a huge inconvenience for him. This family was so dysfunctional clearly from the interviews and texts messages between mom. So sad. This was murder.
Is this Casey Anthony all over again? I think so.
I have a horrible feeling she will walk
I agree.
I hope the jury is smart enough to see thru all this irrelevant garbage. This judge allows anything.
No comparison.
@@mcc9040 Casey Anthony: Killed kid.
This girl: Killed kid.
But you don't see a connection between either case. 🙄 Mhm. Sure.
I like how this judge explains everything
So so sad.. That mother of hers was the problem.
Does anyone remember being 17? Granted I never gave birth nor did I bury anyone but remember.
I'm not understanding what your getting at? Are you saying girls who are 17 years old and younger who get pregnant and don't kill their baby and bury the baby naked in their back yard are amazing or have superpowers that they told someone and even made plans for what they're going to do. Nope, that's being responsible and thinking about something other than themselves. Skylar turned 18 in March. Skylar didn't buy a baby blanket, a small pack of diapers, nothing for that baby. The moment that baby came out the baby was going to die one way or another.
Michelle Lynn
No I’m not sure what I’m saying. Thank you for pointing this out.
It’s all very disturbing
Is this the best the defense can do?
Yes, this is all they got. But it's a touch one though, having to defend someone who killed their baby and buried her in the backyard.
@@carolmahoney2109 well she is cooked.
i mean have you watched all the videos of the trial?? the prosecutions case is weak & circumstantial at best. The prosecution is definitely the underdog
"Sir does your dog have a tail that wags?"
He's making it seem like they have a fantasy family life when we know better. You could tell how emotionally distant they are form the police video of them in the interrogation room with her. Then all the liquor bottles in the crime scene photos tell a lot. This is all BS. If you ask me, this is hurting the defense. I think they did not hear anything because they were drinking.
This back and forth weight don't mean S@×T whenever I was in high school my weight was 105 and I was '5 feet 4" and I had a eating disorder and the same I got pregnant and was terrified of my Dad and did not want to disappoint my Mom ,I was to 18 years old, and I delivered a 81/2 pound baby girl,my Dad made me give her up for adoption, I would never have killed my baby no matter what ,my opinion is she killed that little ANGEL and should be held accountable for it.
Babies dont always cry when they r born my son did not it made me panic I thought something was wrong he still never cried when he had his shots and he is 7 and still like that today he is tough he doesnt cry if he skins his knee or whatever. So just because the baby didnt cry doesn't mean it was stillborn! Horseshit!
Lynsey Mcgaugh my son didn’t cry when born either and still doesn’t .
Skyler also said her daughter Annabella had no HEART BEAT!!!!
What's up with the defense attorney "um" before every sentence?? Jesus H. Does anyone know if Skyler's attorneys are public pretenders??
Colleen Lally-ross soooo funny not.
Thank god the dad now realizes that he messed up by not having a lawyer in the room with her. Also, momma is gonna have some ‘splaining to do over the whole cheering her on over losing weight while he was trying to keep her healthy.
What the hell does her childhood and eating disorder have to do with the horrible crime she committed? So over this BS about the poor little girl the victim is that baby she murdered
What the heck is an “uncomfortable relationship,” in 8th grade???!!!
Exactly the photos have NOTHING to do with this bloody case! This judge should be disbarred. He is so helpful & let's the defences get away with disgraceful behavior (shouting at the pathologist) and allowing the stupid baby photos
Who cares about HER CHILDHOOD! WE want to talk about how she murdered her baby!
Scotslass the lawyer is trying to paint a certain picture of Skylar. Showing from an early age she was loving and kind with animals, her brother, other people. Trying to paint the picture each of her parents were living and affectionate parents. Again trying to paint the softer side of skylar. I’m not agreeing or disagreeing with this... just my opinion/observation. It’s been a pattern in other cases like this for the defendants attorney to use.
It’s called “character witness.” They do it purposefully. To humanize the defendant. It’s typical to see in court.
Did I miss something? Dad said the mom was
subpoenaed by prosecution. I didn't see her on the stand.
Patrice2911 They rested without calling her.
Rebuttal testimony
It was static and deliberate .. by subpoenaing Mom they prevented her from being in there and testifying for defense that she put unneeded pressure on Skylar blaming herself. So when and if they needed her she would be called for the prosecution and that would look against Skylar. Sly move by prosecutors
@@brdlju3 That sounds reasonable. Thanks
@@becky1840 I hadn't thought of that
I would like to know when "it" was named "Annabelle"? Would that have been once the defense lawyer was appointed? I think it might have been to sweeten the defense dialogue.
the aussie gypsy she called the baby annabell in the second interrogation. I think this was before the attorney had been hired bc surely if he was on the case before then he wouldn’t have allowed that questioning to happen.
@@MrsMrMoney So now police can't ask criminals or alleged criminals questions? What an idiotic idea. "Yeah, lets just let them not have to speak or answer to anybody, and when she gets off scott free and kills another 8 kids, *then* we'll ask questions."
@@Ecology0136 Exactly. And people make excuses for this girl's behaviour because her mother allegedly 'made' her self concious about her weight and 'made' her anorexic. While what her mother did was horrible to this girl, it CANNOT excuse the murder of a newborn. If I was a judge, I wouldn't be buying any of the bullsh*t they're trying to sell.
The name Annabelle didnt come about until the 20th of July. On the 14th of July the baby name was "IT". The came about for damage control.
@@MichelleJ817 This should be questioned in court. I hope the prosecutor pokes holes in every single fabricated story they have.
The first 16mins, if I was the prosecutor, i’de be saying ‘objection your honour, relevance?’
Gotta love the camera work, father visible through ENTIRE trial, and followed full body to the witness stand, then finally camera focuses on chest. What was the point in that ?
Why would the prosecutors be so mean as to subpoena the mom at a witness, never called her to stand, but used the well known "trick" of a subpoena just to keep the mother out of the courtroom?
You don't squeeze your own baby if you dont want to hurt it
People will still make excuses for the worthless, horrible girl. People actually believe her crocodile tears and fake trembling. This whole case screams 'murder' to me and I'm looking at it from the same angle you are.
Why do the lawyers ask all the unnecessary questions in the beginning?
Um no skylar shouldn't get that babies remains back for "proper burial". Why would anyone allow a murderer to get their victims remains back?! 😒😒😒😣
Very true. She didn't care when she buried the baby her way.
She wants them so she can televise and fake a funeral to show the world how much she "cared" for the baby. Just verbal manipulation to tug at the jury's heartstrings.
She didn’t kill the baby.
@@AlinaSween Okay, prove she didn't. I gave you three articles that state (with evidence) that she did it. And you completely ignored them to parrot your bullsh*t opinions as facts and to further your agenda.
@@marysmother1152 Let's hope the jury is smarter than others. It is concerning to think that this girl may get away with murder. Since when is it ok with people to bury a body in their backyard and not have jail time?!? No excuse for this
Have you thought that maybe when most people are nervous and easier to testify when cameras are not on your.?
The pictures of the doggies and the brother will make the jury sympathize? I hope they're not manipulated by this trick.
As he has been sitting in the public gallery, not watching online. He is unaware the extent of exposure he and the family have had.
Wait. So she missed a court date? "She confirmed she was aware" Seems like all other appointments should be cancelled, like, about for the next 25 to life.
Someone in that house is a drunk, where is mom during the day in these trials?!
I did not notice she was there yesterday??? That could look bad on her part.
Early on it was believed that the mother wasn't present in the courtroom due to her having to testify...But the father is testifying and has been in court
I don’t get that ? Odd 🤔
I think it depends on what type of witness you are. He may be a character witness which wouldn’t exclude him from hearing criminal testimony in the case.
@@ashleym4095
I decided to do some research.
It sounds to me like the is either absent on her own or the state or defense asked the Judge for an exclusion order. From what I read it is perfectly legal for expert witnesses to be in the courtroom unless an exclusion order is sought.
An exclusion order may be sought to keep a testifying witness from tailoring their story to another's, but that makes no sense here because the trial is broadcast daily
For everyone benefit, I happened upon a video of a Hoover institute(I'm not sure) but the method of interrogation is called the "Reid Method" . It is one of courses taught to law enforcement. There are a few other courses. I think everyone should be aware & make their families aware. I'm a big law & order person, but
I'm uncomfortable about taping & recording without notification of family or possible witnesses of a defendant of their legal rights. This was an interrogation textbook approach. It is alright by law to do a certain amount if lying to anyone who are possibly facing charges. The boundaries seem to be at times a .moving target. If we as a society want more rights for victims, We must clean up unfair procedures too. You must assume if you are in public, you have no rights to privacy. You must understand that police property are not private anywhere.
Claudine Schultz let me help you... She was read her rights each time interrogated and the police can use the Reid method...which is like the holding her hand, telling her it will be OK to tell the truth, telling her the father wants remains of his grandchild, humanizing the baby to the Lil B* by calling her Annabelle, and it's irrelevant the parents not being told about recording going on bc they weren't detained or arrested or suspects....the then 18 year old was.
@@PechilvrsPreciousPeepsNursery nonetheless everyone should know and understand this method. It's been more than proven to bring about false confessions. Not saying that this young woman falsely confessed to anything. However the Reid Method should seriously be reconsidered as an appropriate means of interrogation.
This is not normal. This judge is giving her side an advantage. She has this crew charmed and conned. A character testimony pre-verdict. I would object if I was the prosecutor.
Shereese Maynard they did object
@@MrsMrMoney Thanks; I must have missed it
They stated they objected to all the photos that were presented.
Prosecutor could questioned how character as well. Skyler Attorney pointed it out. This is normal seen it before.
The defense needs to work on being more articulate. The young one says "um" way too much and the older guy sounds like a drunk Jack Nicholson.
Ive been thinking about how when babies are born the Doctors and medical team have to suction the fluid in their nose and mouth in order to breathe with their lungs for the first time. I remember my Beautiful Son was blue and they wisked him away and kept suctioning his mouth which felt like an eternity until finally I heard him cry. 25 years later he is 6 4" a Handsome smart kind young Man. Thank you Jesus for Blessing me the greatest gift I could ever receive. So im wondering could that of happened with Annabelle Angel.....and has anyone else have that happen at child birth or know if its done always for babies at birth seeing they live and breath fluid for 9 months. Thanks Guys!
Umm, I'm pretty sure they don't "breathe" in fluid in the womb. I've never given birth but I was fascinated with this topic a few yrs back. Oxygen and nourishment along with waste from the baby's body flows through the umbilical cord.
They don't breathe until outside the womb. That's when they cry....crying also helps to clear passage and gets lungs to start wrking. 😉
A dads life turned upside down is trying to show that a town that looks perfect has its problems too. More we talk about it, more we can avoid problems. I hope after her sentence is finished they’ll be allowed to leave all together.
Skyler has literally ZERO EMOTIONS!!!! If my father had to go on stand to defend my character, for doing something so incredibly evil, I would have been crying my eyes out.. She is just setting there. Not even embarrassed, sad, just totally unemotional. This story is disgusting on every level. 😔
She just like every other defendant is instructed to present that way
And she’s not “setting” she’s sitting… at least get your verbiage correct
good god I hope you never serve on a jury.
Her mother encourage her to abort the baby because there's something about the mother that hates seeing her daughter being FAT!! Seriously, Skylar's parents don't even seem like that know right parenting! What kind of parents would encourage their own daughter/son to look skinny otherwise they won't treat them well? -- I mean, did you see their texts? Parents should teach their kids to love their body no matter what!
I always felt that she panicked and in her panic she rushed to get the baby out of the house not checking to see how the baby was doing at all, then buried her.
Now after seeing all of the texts back and forth with her so called mother, I'm now convinced that not only did Skyler kill her baby but mommy had a hand in it. The birth control pills were supposed to be the method to kill the baby but it backfired.
I never understood how after being in labor and delivering the baby, Skyler had the energy to clean up so well, then dig a hole to bury the baby in a dark back yard and not to mention move that heavy flower pot all by herself. I feel she had a bit of help from ole dysfunctional mommy.
Really? Wow that's interesting.
June Askew I left a similar comment! I agree 100%!
The guy sits for hours behind the attorney but does not wish to be filmed at the stand?? Wtf???
This is absolutely ridiculous and has NOTHING to do with the innocent baby girl 😔 This just shows how she's just so perfect, a princess, popular cheerleader who is so self absorbed and does no wrong, and I'm so over the bs front her father is putting on like they're all so happy and have the perfect family when we know that couldn't be further from the truth. This girl acts like her cold hearted mother and wants to pretend she's the best thing since sliced bread and heaven Forbid anyone think differently, plus this B has shown absolutely NO emotion, except for herself because she knew she was busted. There's absolutely no way her mom didn't know she was pregnant ( You could tell for sure in her prom dress ) and her mom pushed her to get rid of the belly ( baby ) and I'm almost certain her mom helped her cover it up. I know others think differently and that's fine, but something isn't adding up and her innocent poor me, baby attitude isn't cutting it for me! I do however feel bad for her when it comes to her pos mom and trying to always please her, because a mother is to love their child no matter what!
BTW, that is NOT Skylar's mom sitting next to her dad!
Wondering why father has been allowed to sit in on trial,,, as he is a witness,,,, anyone ? Mother has been outside ?
I never used lighter fluid for candles.
How is the father allowed to remain in the courtroom and then testify? Or am I wrong about court decourm? Sorry, I should have read other comments.
Too many angry people in the comments. It's amazing human behavior, never look for their own mistakes in live .....
This girl will live all her life with what happen to the baby. That's enough for punishment trough the rest of her existence.
Stop pointing the finger, and look deep inside your behaviors , judge your own mistakes.
Live and let live.
So...I’m a little less than halfway in to the Dad’s testimony and, imho, all of this info seems irrelevant to this fact; DESPERATE PEOPLE DO DESPERATE THINGS. Period.
Why can he sit throughout the trial and not the mom? I assumed it was because she was going to be a witness.
do any of these family members/bf think, _if she kept everything quiet/ a secret, after her labor, what was she gonna do, just come & wake everybody up then, tell everyone then? why else would she hv been soo quiet.
That's exactly why they should find it obvious that she murdered the baby! What was her plan if the baby was alive then? She had no plan bc her only plan was to make sure the baby was *not* alive. Otherwise she would've told her parents at some point. Or when she saw the baby was not breathing, she would've gone to them for help or called 911! But no, she didn't do that. She decided to just bury it in the yard and go workout instead. The baby would've been am embarrassment for her mother and she knew it. The baby would've "ruined her life" and her "life would be over" if she had a baby, and she knew that bc that's what her mother told her when the doctor accidentally emailed her and said Skylar was pregnant.
Agreed. Said from day one no matter the end result is the same. I only hope that baby was stillborn and wasnt murdered at the hands of her mother. Because that's exactly what Skylar would have done if she didnt. But I digress.
Where is Kim Richardson?
My heart goes out to this Dad and his whole family!
They should be objecting to photos of the 'rainbows' showing other peoples children especially when she isnt even in the picture....how are they relevant. I would be livid if they showed my childs face on a televised court case that had nothing to do with her!
Skylar, Brooke when all said and done & this nightmare is over I'll be there from Australia with your family standing next to you, I'll hold you and support you. I believe in you and no matter the outcome, whether corruptions wins or the truth prevails I believe in you. x x x
Use common sense sweetie
@@MichelleJ817 Sweetie, my condolences is really none of your business
Wow she must have been so scared of those parents to such a degree that she is willing to bury her own innocent baby which was a human being who deserved better treatment than what she gave her just to keep the secret from her parents.
I haven't seen any comments on this so I'm wondering is it strange in America for an 18 year old girl to say Mummy instead of Mum?
Yes , very strange ! She sounds like my 5 year old granddaughter ! Most kids that age just say mom

The judge is quite noticeable even from part 1 that he is sympathetic to defense.
Why has her father sat this Trial being in full view of the Trial, and, now decides not to be filmed through his testimony??? Weird?
Does he not realize we have seen his face everyday of the trial? I also don't see how she was with other kids do with what she did to her own baby
