In fact, under cross-examination, witness after witness called by the state concede there is no physical evidence of a live birth or any trauma or burning of the baby's bones.

The only evidence comes from Skylar.

So if Skylar is convicted, she could be convicted on what she said rather than what she did?

But why would Skylar kill her own child?

prosecutors say she never wanted the baby and they point to text messages she sent her mother in the days leading up to prom as schuyler's biggest concern seemed to be fitting into her dress schuyler i'm just in freak out mode i want to look amazing again more than anything i hate being like this so much and there are those texts schuyler sent after giving birth i am literally

But when the defense begins its case, obstetrician Dr. John White takes the stand and tells the jury he believes the baby was not alive at birth.

Schuyler told investigators that she never cut an umbilical cord, suggesting to Dr. White that the cord may have become detached sometime before or during birth.

He also says Schuyler's description of the baby's appearance is significant.

Dr. White points out that Skylar only gained 15 pounds during the course of her pregnancy.

Here she is at three months, and again at seven and a half months, and then again in May, less than two days before giving birth.

According to Dr. White, Skylar's eating disorder may have restricted the baby's development in the womb.

Later, an expert on police interviews explains to the jury how certain police tactics can result in false confessions.

And certain people are more susceptible, says clinical psychologist Dr. Stuart Bassman, who spent hours interviewing Schuyler.

But Lieutenant John Fain says that's not what happened.

You're two authority figures.

She's in a closed room.

She doesn't have an attorney.

She doesn't have her parents.

How do you know the baby was alive just a little bit, that Annabelle was alive a little bit?

I saw her arms maybe a little moving.
