OH - Annabelle Richardson, newborn, found in shallow grave, Carlisle, 7 May 2017 #2

She works well for the state's case. She establishes that Skylar would rather see her baby dead than deal with the wrath of that woman.

It's equally possible Kim's testimony will elicit sympathy for Skylar, especially for jurors who aren't convinced the baby was born alive and/or believe Skylar was manipulated into a false confession.

Damn! She is a good liar jmo
Said the placenta came out after the baby

Was that not true?

 

[Wishbone]

True. But if actual clips of interview were played we know they exist.

We've been hearing that she searched something like that since the beginning in the state's opening statement. And it seems to me she admitted to something along those lines, but added she only did it once? Maybe searched a different phrase with the same meaning? I don't remember. Guess we'll find out more when the electronic info is covered. I won't be surprised if she never did it though.

I totally believe she looked up those searches. She even admitted in the first interview fairly early on. Boy, this girl as not manipulated me in thinking she is innocent.

Isn’t it amazing the Skylar’s aunt worked at the ob/gyn clinic? Wouldn’t the office staff have been talking about this?

 

[gitana1]

why on the toilet? wouldn't it be more comfortable lying in a bathtub or something? it just seems dirty and gross to me

It's typical for neonaticides to occur on a toilet. The mother is disassociated from the baby and views it as the same as a bowel movement.

Was that not true?

In her first interview she said it came out the next day and now she is saying it came out after the baby

 

[gitana1]

Probably because with a first baby (and being so young), the sensation feels like you have to constantly pee. She did not realize she was in labor, thinking she had weeks to go still.

More like had to poop.

For now I've been staying away from learning more about this woman and Skylar's father, but can't deny she very well could be on the state's list for a reason that doesn't bode well for Skylar. Many seem to think she knows much more about this whole situation and could even be complicit in some way.

Her story has changed so much, it is hard to tell what she said on this interview, on that interview etc.

In the first interview she says she looked up abortion but she was very vague in her answer to LE.

 

[gitana1]

I just have a feeling she followed the lead from the questioning and tried to answer, but even she did not recall exactly what happened. I find it impossible she burned the baby enough (if at all) to char bones.

Have you tried to start a campfire or a fire in a burn barrel? It takes bits of crumbled paper or small twigs to catch enough to begin to burn the bigger chunks of wood ... and it better be dry or it won't burn without super high heat involved from an extensive fire.

Surely she could not have practiced what to say, and her responses come too quickly for me to not believe she is attempting to give them what they ask or need, but I think she worked on adrenaline and not thought.

JMO

Yeah the burn story didn't make sense. A lighter isn't going to do anything but blister a foot.

I think she knows more jmo

 

[justice2962]

The mother was oddly silent. Not asking any questions? I would be firing off questions left and right! Not her.

I would too! I actually found both parents were extremely calm when they went in the interrogation room alone with BSR.

 

[iluvmua]

I am ready for them to start going over what was found on the various electronics in the house.

Phones included

Judge tells the jury there will be more security in courtroom because of behavior of some people in the gallery.

I haven't watched the 2nd police interview. I have watched many police interview though. From reading the post here I doubt that the detective persuaded Skylar into a false confession. Most detectives I have seen behave in the same manner. jmo moo

I didn't hear anything in the background (although I have been able to hear "gasps" while watching other trials). Anyone here who is watching live hear comments from gallery??

Nah. The State needs to put her on the stand to get those omg better belly texts introduced. I'm also sure it hasn't escaped their notice that Kim is likely to seize on any opportunity during direct to try to make herself look good, even if (or perhaps because) what she says harms Skylar.

 

[mike balto]

In my heart of hearts I think she tried multiple methods to get the baby to die while it was inside of her. I think she took the birth control pills hoping to kill the baby, I bet she punched herself in in the stomach, but we can't prove that.
Can BSR prove she ever thought for *****1 minute****** in 9 months that her baby MIGHT be born alive, or live past the birth event?

If not, why not?

Also, 'trying to cremate...'[a baby] ....a little bit?

Can you only be... a little bit pregnant? Can a person only slightly try to burn a child?
