I’m not watching live so I’m not sure if they’re on a break? The reporters that have been tweeting all morning have stopped.

ETA: I just checked a live feed and looks like they’re on a break.

On a 15 minute break

Let me count the ways the jury is to feel so so sorry for Skylar:

1. Her brain is only 12
2. She’s afraid of lots and lots of people.
3. She’s a MeToo survivor
4. She has no common sense
5. She buys poor kids stuff
6. She is working every spare moment on finding a cure for cancer...oh wait...that wasn’t testified to....YET, was it?

Let’s call off this trial and elect her Prom Queen and be done with it.

The prosecution just established the motive by talking to the defense witness about the report from 1970 that is still being used today.

Don't forget she helped waitresses clear the table and that she worked with kids.

On Cross: This is all due to self-reporting, correct?


..Not intended to assess the veracity of the information correct?

It cracks me up every time she says something like this and she does it over and over and over. I mean, all the prosecution has is her "self-reporting". I keep waiting for one of the witnesses to state the obvious.

Hopefully the defense will blast it in her face during the closing.

That was good work by the prosecutor.

Well, Bassman's turn on the stand sure was interesting.

The best blow the State landed on cross IMO wasn't so much the drawn out presentation of the characteristics of women who kill their babies on the day of birth, but Bassman's declarations he knew nothing about the topic, was unfamiliar with the studies, etc.

His resistance gave Kraft multiple opportunities to drill in to the jury that everything on the list of characteristics described Skylar.

That an expert psych witness testifying in this particular trial wasn't aware of standard research on who kills their just born babies (whether or not he agrees with the research or finds it applicable) puts a big dent in his credibility, imo.

He did best, imo, in countering the "leaps" Kraft made when drawing conclusions of guilt from circumstances in which multiple interpretations were equally or more plausible/likely.

Overall everything aside, WTH about Skylar being sexually abused at 12. Wonder if her mother knew.

Wow @gitana1 was spot on.

When they first put up that list and started to cover it, even before when they started On the second question, I was screaming @gitana1, I knew where they were going with this.

I have many more comments but I will wait till end of day

I wonder if she can even be believed.

How convenient that she is suddenly a “victim” herself when...that might be useful with certain members of the jury...

Welcome to Websleuths @Cindizzi!

And thanks for reminding me of the text above, as I believe it's another incident where BSR lied to mom.

I don't think she sent a photo because she was most likely not bossing it on the treadmill as she alleged.

I recall that text was sent about 3:30ish pm on 5/5/17 -- just hours before prom, and when she was beginning to feel the discomfort of labor.

Nope -- don't think she was bossing the treadmill that afternoon.

What is the deal with the gym photos, anyways?
Did she have to prove to her mom that she was working out?
Or - did she truly have such a history of lying that she needed to prove where she was in general?

Either way - WTF.

 

[proctorelites]

What was that all about? I missed something major there idk if my connection is bad or did the video just skip all around? Can somebody enlighten me please?

Yes! Yes! She needs to be hoisted on her lawyers shoulders and carried out of the courtroom triumphant and...FABULOUS...to the cheers and adulation of onlookers.

 

[fred&edna]

I continue to believe the baby was stillborn. I do believe many statements she made were coerced by LE. I believe BSR is a pleaser raised for 18 years under an excruciating controller. I don't believe she hated this baby - I simply believe she did not know what to do. I actually give her credit for burying the baby rather than discarding it with the towels.

And, I kinda take offense to the prom queen remark.

But no matter what I think... What are these jurors thinking???
