Brown says #SkylarRichardson was always very kind to wait staff in restaurants. Stack plates and clean tables so server wouldn't have to do it. Friends would have to stick up for SR b/c she isn't confrontational @Local12

Is this the sentencing phase? Seems like it.

On cross, Steve Knippen asks, Would you have ever thought #skylarrichardson was capable of concealing pregnancy, delivering a baby and burying remains?

Brown: I was shocked. @wlwt

Brown. I’ve never seen Skylar be mean to another human being. She would never hurt anyone, not even a baby.

Judge Oda just had jury leave room to work on a technical issue with mics. Charlie Rittgers just added a witness who doesn't want to be recorded, Annie Campbell. She is one of Skylar's good friends and is supposed to testify this morning. @wlwt

Yeah that's what I was thinking too.

 

[proctorelites]

What would the state even ask if one of those character witnesses said: "I do know Skyler, that's why I am comfortable saying I'm not convinced she buried her baby and know she definitely wouldnt have hurt it.
I suppose that would be removed from the record

during the pre-trial video (no audio) this morning, I was troubled by her giggly affect. It was very different than how she appears during trial. First time I have been able to see that part.

Why feel troubled? She was responding to her attorney. Maybe he was trying to make her feel more at ease. Maybe they just have a good repoire.

Of course her affect is different when the jury is present. Like every other defendant, she knows the jury may well be watching her. If she smiles they may think her callous, so maybe capable of what's she being charged with. If she cries or seems overly emotional they may think she's faking it, so maybe capable of doing what's she's charged with. Neutral face is best.

She's somewhat exceptional, actually, in that she seems never to have pretended indifference by play- writing or shuffling papers during any testimony. IMO she's presented as attentive and respectful.

On cross, Knippen asks whether Brown could have ever imagined SR would conceal a pregnancy, give birth secretly and bury a baby. Brown says she was shocked when she found out what had happened @Local12 #SkylarRichardson Now we are on a short break to deal with tech issue

IMO, BSR's true colors were on global display today when her dad was on the witness stand, testifying for her benefit (i.e., character testimony pursuant to some rule re. the dead baby's representative).

Zombie look. No emotion whatsoever -- not even as dad's voice was cracking and people in the gallery were crying. That girl's not right.

MOO

 

[princessdana]

I know cold and heartless. she never once cried for her baby only herself.

 

[kim.kitchenstupman]

No. Character witnesses

Oh, I know. I was being facetious. Just seems silly to put these witness on right now.

As Ashley Brown left the stand...she smiled at Skylar and Scott Richardson noticeably wiped away tears...
