Scott Richardson

You don't think it's possible that she might have just said that because it would please you?

You don't think that?

A week after the trial started, without Schuyler ever taking the stand, the prosecution and the defense make their final appeals to the jury.

Assistant prosecutor Julie Kraft.

After all the turmoil and high stakes drama, the case is now in the hands of jurors.

Four hours later, they reach a verdict.

On September 12th, 2019, Skylar waits for the jury of seven women and five men to decide her future.

Would the jury believe Skylar confessed to a murder?

Or would they think she had been pushed into making false statements?

Maybe a little noise.

What's the biggest fear right now?

No one expects a quick verdict.

But then just four hours later, Kim and Scott Richardson return to Judge Oda's packed courtroom with their daughter, Skylar.

Not guilty of aggravated murder.

Not guilty of involuntary manslaughter.

Not guilty of child endangerment.

Skylar, so stoic at trial, is overwhelmed.

But because Skylar buried Annabelle in the backyard, she is convicted of gross abuse of a corpse.

That felony carries up to a year in prison.

The judge orders Skylar held in jail until sentencing.
