Sometimes these cases fade away. It might depend on if there are reviews into the ethics of her doctor or the state.

I can only hope that journalist continues to censure Fornshell right until election time.

Do you know the name of the journalist?

who takes birth control pills while you are pregnant unless your intention is to harm your unborn fetus? Has anyone seen that movie, Annabelle? about the haunted doll? Just wondering if Skylar had seen it? I do not think she is as meek and innocent as the defense tried to make her out to be, just saying

at the very end of this police interview, she admits to her parents that she tried to " cremate the baby just a little" due to her perpetual whining voice I cannot make out the rest of what she is saying and the tape ends. Is there a transcript by any chance?

Does anyone know what Mr. Richardson does for a living? I suspect he had to clean out all of his retirement to pay for this little imp's excellent defense. He should make her slave and pay him back, but in their world, they are probably so happy she didn't get the average black woman's sentence they will place her back upon the pedestal she was temporarily knocked off of lol ( I know I'm a little hard on her) she deserves much worse IMO

He testified his an accountant for a construction company.

Yes - I've been thinking how mom has probably been seething about the financial sacrifices she didn't ask for. Reminds BSR about it daily....

Would one, as a reasonable person, be alone either on the toilet or on the floor of your bedroom when a baby's head came out.... Would one not scream for help immediately?

Would that not be a natural reaction for any normal individual?

If not for the baby, just to help myself in my pain and distress? The only reason I can think of is if you wanted to keep it a secret. To risk harm and injury to myself just to keep the secret.

There is no other reason I can think of. Can anybody enlighten me As to why they think different.

That is a hurdle I cannot get over.

As I said earlier today, my potential verdict is a 180 from when I came into this case due to the family and the defense actions, and the prosecution.

ETA, and the jury will come in right now because they had a question and see that the family is not even there to hear it. SMH!
I was a SIO of an investigation which had some similarities to this case.
It involved a very intelligent young woman who unfortunately suffered a car accident and was subsequently hospitalised for a period of time during which she had to undergo a frontal lobe lobotomy ( regulates memory and short term/long term memory and actions , responsibility, consequences etc
She missed a number of Dr appointments and midwifery ante natal classes and subsequently she was referred to Children’s Social Services. I attended the case conference with many other multi agencies with a. vested interest.
The general consensus was that she needed constant supervision once baby was here, in a mother and baby unit .
I am forever thankful to this day that I spoke out and said that if it was that bad then surely she needed that facility now, and thankfully it was minuted that I said it because they voted me down and said it was not needed.
A few days after the conference this lady had tummy pains so took paracetamol and lay down.
She woke up with what she believed to be ‘ weeing herself and ran to the toilet and sat down only for something to plop our of her . She stood up and saw her baby head first in the toilet pan. She pulled her baby out and it was not crying or making a sound so she believed it to be dead and cut the cord and put it in the trash bin naked.
It was a few hours later when she told her mum that she didn’t feel well and what had transpired and mum contacted the police.
She was not prosecuted because she had bought baby clothes and bottles and formula and nappies which showed her intent to have her baby. But the professionals at the meeting were subject to a safeguarding review and all received words of advice because of their ability to only see risk after the baby was born and not beforehand.
I tell you this because it is not by any means regular but I have had a number of cases where babies have been born into the toilet x

Skylar was 18 years old by no means the timid child she was painted by the Defense to be.
They want us to believe she was a scared young girl, 18 to me is not a child. At 18 I had a 2 year old I was pregnant at 16 my parents weren’t over the moon but I was going to have my baby anyway, she’s 10 now and has a younger brother and sister aswell. I should add in that I am bipolar diagnosed 3 years ago, I also have a dependent personality due in part to being given up by my then 15 year old birth mother for adoption, she didn’t murder me, she concealed me right up until she was in labour and had to come clean to her parents, then made the right decision for her and for me aswell.
Skylar had options and this case hits so close to home for me. I could’ve been Annabelle. But Skylar is an adult not a child, she knew better yet chose to bury her baby. Don’t tell me she didn’t know what she was doing. I feel this is a huge injustice for Annabelle, she did not have to die and her death hasn’t even been acknowledged with this verdict :(

well thanks to Seattle1's link to the transcripts of the police interview room with the parents at the very bottom you can read where Skyler admits to her dad after he asks that indeed she gave birth to a live baby girl, but she didn't kill her. Like I really believe her..

We don't know that Annabelle was alive or took a breath. I understand you feel like that could have been you. Your mom could have had an abortion or miscarriage but she didn't, and you are alive.
It seems like many women with dispose of infants they claim were born not breathing have babies quickly. There was at one girl that had her baby at the prom in a bathroom and threw it away. The one I remember was back on the dance floor a little later. I don't know how that is physically possible. I don't know what was going through her head but I think the Jury made the right call. If you've gone through pregnancy and labor a normal person would think of adoption. They are risking their own lives.

No-contest plea offered in case of dead newborn
This article mentions a girl that went to my high school and gave birth then put the baby in a backpack and hung it out the window. It barely made news and in this article it's mentioned alongside a similar one. These are really weird.

IMO the baby was alive at birth.

My mom (who did not have an eating disorder) weighed 115 pounds when she gave birth to me and didn't look pregnant. She vomited between 30 - 50 times a day, every day of her entire pregnancy. Yet I was born healthy, and a couple ounces shy of 9 pounds. Her doctor said, even with extreme nutritional deficiencies, the placenta can still develop normally to sustain the life of the baby.

Can having an eating disorder increase risk of stillbirth? Yes. But most studies show only a slightly higher risk exists compared to having no eating disorder.

March of Dimes cites three maternal medical conditions that increase the chances of stillbirth; high blood pressure, diabetes, and actually, obesity.

In terms of physical health, SR had youth on her side and her anorexia didn't preclude her from ovulating, which is often the case in such circumstances.

Regardless, based on SR's own admissions, that poor baby girl was born alive. SR wasn't a child. She knew right from wrong. It was SR's selfish, disgusting actions, (or inactions) shortly after birth that ended AR's life. (JMO)

Throwing up during a pregnancy and having a long turn eating disorder are two completely different things.

if you look at her close up during the reading of the verdict she appears to be crying but I don't see any tears did anyone notice that

She appears to have broken down after hearing the third ‘Not Guilty’ verdict and comments from reporters present in the courtroom said her sobs were loud. However, I didn’t see any actual tears. The only time I saw her actually cry tears was when her brother was on the stand.

I don't believe BSR got "lucky" but I do believe the judicial system worked as it is supposed to do.
Of course it did. And thank goodness we have this system even though it is not always perfect.

I believe she heard all charges were not guilty. She acted very surprised when they were going to take her to jail. jmo

She wasn't found guilty of murder how can he presume to know what the jury was thinking? He trashed BSR personally about her "good girl" persona. He seems to be having fun. Is he hoping the publicity will boost his career? He admits to knowing this case wasn't a sure thing two years ago, he wasted money that could have gone towards crime prevention or testing rape kits or something useful. He compares her case to a capital one as far as pricing. That's not even on the same scale. Capital cases cost a fortune because the state is responsible for making sure the person convicted has representation for appeals (at least in many states). They have to pay more for experts and it's a long process. BSR's case looked like a witch hunt.

His behavior is appalling. I hope reporters continue to blast him relentlessly.

I think you’re right. I noticed she composed herself pretty quickly and then was talking to the deputy who was handcuffing her. Not sure what she was saying though?

I don't know who she was, but she was AMAZING. On Fox 19, they said she is a national reporter.
