The Rules Don_t Apply When Women Cry · THINK BEFORE YOU SLEEP

  Speaker 1: One of the reasons I don't do daily content is
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: because when you have to produce a video every single
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: day and you're just one person, you often don't have
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: time to deep dive into content that's a little bit more,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: that needs a little bit more care. And so I
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: have such a story that you might have heard of.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: The story of a girl named Brooke Skyler Richardson, who
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: allegedly got pregnant while she was in high school. She
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: carried out the pregnancy without telling anybody. And on the
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: day of the birth, she killed her baby. and then
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: buried it in the backyard of her parents' house. This
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: trial has picked up a lot of popularity over the
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: past couple weeks because, one, it's been entirely televised and publicized.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: The judge was nice enough to allow cameras into the
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: courtroom so that all of us can see this fiasco
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: play out. But also, it is extremely reminiscent of the
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Casey Anthony case where the person obviously did it, but
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: still got away with it. This case begged a lot
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: of big questions, which is why I'm glad I put
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the extra effort and spent two whole days researching this,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: because there were a lot of things that didn't make sense. Like,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the first big question that I had was, how did
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: she even hide her pregnancy from people that she knew? Because,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: you know, after a certain number of months, certainly you
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: can hide a pregnancy for a couple months, but after
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: about the third or fourth month or so, you start showing.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: And it's not like she was overweight. She was a
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: thin cheerleader, so it would have been very obvious that
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: But her parents didn't even know. Well, her mother was
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the first person to find out. Her parents didn't even
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: know until she was almost ready to give birth. And
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: even then, she was able to deny that she was
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: pregnant and her mother believed her. Take a look at
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: this photo. This is a picture of her in her
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: prom dress just a few days before she gave birth
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to her daughter. If you had shown me the picture
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: of this and I didn't know she was pregnant, I
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: would have said that she's not pregnant. She's very, very thin,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: and I forget the exact reason they gave for why
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: she wasn't showing, but it was likely due to the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: fact that she's anorexic. In fact, it was so hard
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: to tell that she was pregnant that she didn't even
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: know until she went to the gynecologist to get some
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: birth control only 11 days before the baby was delivered.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: And I actually believe her on this, despite the fact
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: that I don't believe her on a lot, because if
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: she knew she was pregnant and she decided that she
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: wanted to kill a baby, it would be a crucial
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: mistake to go to the doctor and notify them that
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: you were pregnant because that is how she ended up
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: getting caught. What happened was is that she went to
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the gynecologist to go get some birth control. During that
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: gynecology visit, they gave her a pregnancy test. She tested
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: positive for that. And then they asked her to come
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: back in a few days or however long it was
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: to get a follow-up appointment to determine how far along
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the baby was, but also to determine if the baby
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: was healthy in the first place. One of the major
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: points of contention in the case was if the baby
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: was a stillbirth or not. And the problem with that
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: is that the defense's only evidence that says it was
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: a stillbirth is Brooke's own testimony. Brooke is an 18-year-old
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: at this point, has really no medical knowledge about anything
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: relating to children, yet she's able to diagnose her baby
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: as stillborn and then bury the baby in the backyard.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: If she had gone back to the gynecologist and she'd
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: come back for a second measurement, because that's That's how
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: they determine the health of the baby is they take
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: an initial measurement at week one and they take a
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: second measurement at week two and they compare based on
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: what a healthy baby should look like. So if she
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: had gone back and the gynecologist had determined the baby
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to be healthy, then she wouldn't have gotten away with
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the lie that the baby was still born. And I
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: say it's a lie because if she actually cared about
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: her child and she actually cared about her daughter like
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: she claimed she did in the interviews, then she would
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: have gone back for the follow-up appointments. If she actually
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: cared about the child and was not trying to cover
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: up a murder, when she found the child to be stillborn,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: like she told the police during the interrogation, when she
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: found the child to be stillborn, then she would have
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: called 911. She would have asked her parents for help.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: She would have done something to help save this baby's
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: life in the case that the life could be saved.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: But she didn't do that. She went outside and buried
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: the child and tried to pretend like nothing ever happened.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Roughly two months after her first visit to the gynecologist
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: where she was told she was pregnant, she goes to
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the same clinic but to a different doctor to get
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a refill on her birth control. Now, I initially thought
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: this would be a really stupid idea to go back
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: to the doctor after you just murdered a baby, but
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the idea was that she didn't want anybody to know
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: that she was pregnant and she had a boyfriend at
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the time. Imagine she was on birth control having unprotected
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: sex with her boyfriend and she all of a sudden
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: runs out and now says that her boyfriend has to
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: wear a condom. I think he would find that quite suspicious,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: so she had to go back to the gynecologist to
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: get more birth control. So she goes to the same
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: clinic that she went to the first time, Hilltop Obstetrics
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: and Gynecology. She first spoke to a doctor named William
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Andrew and next spoke to a female doctor, Casey Boyce.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: What Brooke didn't know is that before the appointment, the
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: two gynecologists had talked to each other and then William
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Andrew had informed her current doctor, Casey Boyce, that Brooke
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: had been pregnant. So the doctor asked, well, hey, how's
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the baby? And she said this very lucid statement, oh,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I had the baby, it was stillborn, and I buried
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: it in my backyard, and I didn't tell anybody, and
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: the only person who knows is you. Sounds a little psychotic,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: but that's what she said.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: And did she give you any indication as to what
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: happened to the child that she was pregnant with on
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: April 26th?
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Yes, she started sobbing, and she said, I had it,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: alone in my house and I buried it in my backyard.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: After she said that to her doctor, they reported to
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the police and then she got called in for an interrogation.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: So because of that, I don't think she actually knew
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: that she was pregnant or she wouldn't have told them.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: She was so insistent on not having anybody know that
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: she was pregnant that she wouldn't have gone to the
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: doctor and notified him that she was pregnant by getting
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: that test if she had known she was pregnant beforehand.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: She would have refused it or she would have not
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: shown up and just waited until the baby was born
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: so she can get rid of it. Now, in my opinion,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and I think the opinion of probably the majority of
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: the YouTube audience who has viewed this case, because it's
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: all been very, very public, like you can go and
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: view every single court hearing, you can view all the
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: interrogations online, which is great. Makes it really easy to
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: investigate this stuff. But personally, I think she is completely guilty. However,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: in case you haven't seen the end results of this,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: she got acquitted of all of her major charges. She
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: got acquitted of a murder charge, she got acquitted of
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: an involuntary manslaughter charge, which were the two big things
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: that she was worried about. I mean, she did get
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: convicted of mutilation of a corpse, which I believe is
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: a felony, but that's not nearly as bad of a
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: charge as murder is. And her being acquitted of the
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: major charges is really why I spent a ton of
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: time trying to absorb as much about this case as possible.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I listened to the interrogations, I listened to a lot
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: of the trial. I listened to all of the data
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: that I thought was essential because I certainly didn't want
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: to make a video condemning someone who may have been innocent.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: But despite the fact that I think she was guilty,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: she still won the case. And because she won the case,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about the defense first before I
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: get into the prosecution. Because I want to discuss why
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I think she won and why I think her defense
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: did actually a very, very good job. Both her lawyers
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: were excellent, and I think especially the lawyer who gave
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: the The closing argument was phenomenal. I mean, if I
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: committed a murder, I would definitely hire this guy.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: And by the way, I believe Schuyler had a stillbirth.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: But what I have got to do, my job, is.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: To explain the burden of proof.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: As the judge talked to us in Bordaire, about 100 people,
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: and if 99 are.
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: Guilty and one is innocent, Our law, people have fought
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: for this.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Our soldiers have fought to keep us a free country
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: for our Fifth Amendment rights.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: Our law would prefer to let all 100 go than
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: to entrap an innocent.
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: That's why we have this high burden of proof in
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: criminal cases.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: This guy is a master of public speaking. If anybody
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: is interested in becoming a public speaker or anybody is
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: a public speaker and wants to become better, then I
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: would highly recommend that you watch the closing argument. His entire,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I think it's like a 45 minutes or an hour
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: speech on why his client is not guilty. He does
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: a phenomenal job at it. He's like making eye contact
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: with a jury. He's got like a kind of an
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: even voice. It's not too quiet. It's not too loud.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: It's very like friendly. Like I'm just trying to help
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: you out. Just make it so my client's not guilty.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: He gives lots of metaphors that are spot on and fantastic.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Like I swear, this guy isn't even real. He's like
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: out of a movie or something like that. His arguments
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: are too good. He's clearly had a lot of practice
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: at this compared to his opponents who just aren't on
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the same skill level of debate and presentation. And this
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: is something that's important to point out because a lot
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: of times people will win debates based on their skill
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: level of debate and not based on the correctness of
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: their arguments. I think a really good example of this
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: is the whole debate between JonTron and Destiny that happened
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: a couple years ago where Destiny gave a lot of
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: really well-thought-out arguments about socialism and about things that are
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: really abhorrent. And JonTron, though he had the correct idea,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: his presentation of those ideas are so terrible that nobody
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: would have thought that the ideas were correct.
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: But they started doing this thing where they were like, well,
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: if you're black, you're here. If you're white, you're here.
• 9:43
  Speaker 8: I would say that Jim Crow laws probably assigned white
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: and black people to different areas more so than... a
• 9:49
  Speaker 8: Black Lives Matter speaker or Obama talking about a racial issue.
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: I just don't know that it's on the same level,
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: especially because... Well, it's not.
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: It's on a much lesser level than it used to be.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: We don't have.
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: Jim Crow laws anymore. We don't, you know, women's suffrage happened,
• 10:02
  Speaker 8: you know.
• 10:03
  Speaker 7: You're right. And people still manage to create divisions between themselves.
• 10:06
  Speaker 8: Because there still exists divisions. Black people are disproportionately represented
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: in prisons. Women are disproportionately represented in certain workplaces.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: But the argument is that it's white people who caused
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: them to be in those places. That's the, that's the
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: implicit argument. Not that they have any agency of their
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: own to.
• 10:22
  Speaker 8: Who do you think was responsible for Jim Crow laws?
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: Well, of course it was white people, of course. I'm
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: not arguing for Jim Crow.
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: Well, I mean, if you go back 5,200 years, yeah,
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: it was kind of white people that did it. Now,
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: I'm not saying that we need to lock white people
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: up now or bring back reparations or anything, but.
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: They say you want to have a conversation, but they
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: don't really want to have a conversation. They just want
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: to blame whites more and more.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Now, let me just quickly respond to this because this
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: is an argument that leftists give a lot. Japan was
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: war-torn in the 1940s. They got nuked. They had all
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: their crap burned. People were starving. People had pretty terrible
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: lives after that war. A handful of years later, certainly
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: a lot less time than it's been from now to
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: back to the Civil War in America, a handful of
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: years later, Japan is one of the world's greatest economies.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: There are many people who come from terrible situations yet
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: manage to find success. In fact, coming from a terrible
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: situation tends to be a pretty big motivator for working hard. Now,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: why that's not happening in the specific communities that Destiny mentioned,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: probably welfare, but that's a topic for another day. And
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: this is just here to show you how wrong you
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: can look when you're less skilled at debate than your
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: opponent is. But let's get back to Brooke's case. And
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I guess at this point, for clarity, I'll start using
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: their actual names. The main lawyer that you see for
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: the defense, the one who gives the closing argument, is
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: named Charlie Rickers. The next lawyer I'm going to show
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: you is the first lawyer that gives the closing argument
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: for the prosecution. There's actually two prosecuting lawyers. Her name
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: is Julie Craft. And as I play this clip, take
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: a second to look at the skill difference as a
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: presenter between Charlie Rickers and Julie Craft. It's quite noticeable.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Even if I don't play them back to back, you
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: can tell who's more skilled.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Having a child that was the result of a less
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: than one month casual relationship was not part of her
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: perfect life.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: So Brooke kept her secret.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: A secret that she knew had the ability to destroy
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: her perfect life and all of the plans that she
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: had made. A secret that would forever alter her relationships
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: with the two people that mattered most to her, her
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: mom and Brandon.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Look at how she gives her presentation compared to the defense.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: When Charlie Rickers gave his presentation for the defense... He was, again, calm, collected.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: He made eye contact with the audience. And he looked
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: like he really knew what he was talking about. Versus
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: when the prosecutor, Julie Craft, gives her a presentation, she's
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: like reading off the script and she's looking up and down,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: not really making eye contact, doesn't seem as sure. And
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I think this is one of her more crucial mistakes
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: because when she gives her presentation to the jury, she
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: sounds like she's attacking them. She's like, you better believe
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: that this chick is guilty. versus the defense, who is
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: nice and friendly. Who are you going to go with,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: the friendly person or the person who attacks? And I
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: think the second prosecutor, Stephen Nippon, makes the same mistake
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen, shortly after murdering her daughter and placing
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: her lifeless body in the dirt behind their home, Brooke
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Richardson sent two elated text messages to her mother that
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: both contained the phrase... My belly is back. My belly
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: is back. Ladies and gentlemen, that belly.
• 13:53
  Speaker 9: Was her child.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: That belly was her daughter. A daughter with fingers and toes,
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: with hair on her head. A child that she tossed
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: into the dirt and didn't even have the decency to
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: wrap her in a blanket. to show at least some
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: semblance of respect for that baby girl.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: And I point this all out because oftentimes when people
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: don't know how to determine what the facts are, they
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: will often rely on the person's demeanor. I mean, look
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: at what people do with presidencies. They don't know about politics,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: so what they say is, well, Obama is a very
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: calm and collected politician, and he sounds like he knows
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: what he's talking about, versus Trump, who they say sounds
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: like a fucking idiot. In fact, that's not the only
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: time the left has done that. When George Bush was president,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: George Bush Jr., they said he was a bumbling idiot,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: versus when Bill Clinton was president, he was the best
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: orator on the planet. This demeanor matters, and it certainly matters,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I think, a lot to women, and I point that
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: out because the majority of the jurors were female, seven
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: women versus five men, and I think a big part
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: of the defense narrative was a narrative that would more
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: suit women. A big part of the defense was that
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Brooke Skyler Richardson was just a helpless child and she
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: was being oppressed by these evil policemen. Now there's a
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: couple examples of her giving that childlike demeanor, but I
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: think the best is when she gets the verdict. So
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: take a look at this.
• 15:29
  Speaker 9: Would the defendant please rise?
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: With regard to count one, we, the jury in the
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: above captioned case, find the defendant, Brooke Schuyler Richardson, not
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: guilty of the offense of aggravated murder. And there appear
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: to be 12 jury signatures affixed. Verdict form two, involuntary manslaughter. We,
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: the jury in the above captioned case, do hereby find
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: the defendant, Brooke Schuyler Richardson, not guilty of the offense
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: of involuntary manslaughter. Count three, child endangerment. We, the jury,
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: find the defendant, Brooke Skyler Richardson, not guilty of child endangerment.
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: It does say we further find the defendant did not
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: cause serious physical harm to the alleged victim, but that
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: finding is not necessary as a matter of law.
• 16:19
  Speaker 9: Verdict form number four.
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: We, the jury, in the above captioned case, find the defendant,
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: Brooke Skyler Richardson, guilty of the offense of.
• 16:26
  Speaker 9: Abuse of a corpse. Ladies and gentlemen, are those the
• 16:30
  Speaker 9: verdicts of the jury?
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
• 16:32
  Speaker 9: You may be seated.
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 16:34
  Speaker 9: Again, you are now discharged from all your service. Does
• 16:36
  Speaker 9: either side wish to have the jury polled?
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: No, Your Honor. No, Your Honor.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 16:40
  Speaker 10: Ladies and gentlemen, you will now be returned to the
• 16:43
  Speaker 10: jury room.
• 16:44
  Speaker 9: Thank you for your service.
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: Mr.
• 16:47
  Speaker 9: Mullins is going to give you back your phones and such,
• 16:49
  Speaker 9: and I will see you in a couple of minutes.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Right from the beginning, you can see her helpless demeanor.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, not only does she look scared and nervous,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: she kind of looks like shit. She kind of looks
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: like she's been through a harsh winter or something, and
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: that's likely due to her anorexia. Anorexia will make you
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: lose your hair, and it looks like she's losing a
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: little bit of her hair on her, well, it'd be
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: our left side, but her right side. It makes you
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: look older. I've seen a couple people who are anorexic
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: who are in their 20s who look like they're in
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: their 70s, and she certainly, someone in the comments section
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: of one of the videos said she looks like she's
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: in her 40s. I certainly agree with that. She looks
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: a lot older than she actually is. I mean, look
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: by comparison. Here's a photo of her in the trial.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: And here's a photo of her in high school when
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: she was a cheerleader. These photos are only a couple
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: years apart. So she looks terrible. She looks panicky. She's crying.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: She's just this poor, helpless little kid. So you get
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: the victim narrative that goes very well with women right away.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, they even push that when they're talking to
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: the police officers about how they searched her room. They
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: showed a picture of her bedroom looking perfectly clean. And
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: then they showed after the search where it looks super dirty,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: and the defense lawyer, Charlie Rickards, says, did you clean
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: it up? Did you put it all back? And the
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: cop says, no. And then the assumption was like, well,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: how terrible is that? You messed up a room, you
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: fucked everything up, and you didn't even clean it up.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: You're ruining the life of this poor, helpless victim. And
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: she even plays the victim card very, very well during
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: her police interrogation. In fact, if I didn't know better,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: If I didn't know what I know now, and I
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: was doing this 10 years ago, I would have completely
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: believed her.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, you don't have to say that.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: I have to step out for just a second, okay?
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: Can I talk to my parents?
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: In just a minute, but I've got to step out
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: just real quick. And I'm not going to stay the night.
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: Come on, honey.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Just take a deep breath, okay?
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: I'm going to stay in here with you, okay?
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 19:23
  Speaker 10: Please just be honest.
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: What's going to happen?
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know, okay? I'm in here observing. No, no, no, no.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: You're not going to jail.
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: No, no, no.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: No, and I'm not going to jail. Just relax, okay?
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: Listen.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: Listen.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Just relax, okay?
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: I don't want to go to jail. I know you don't.
• 19:38
  Speaker 10: Just relax, okay?
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: I don't have to go to jail. Listen. I understand
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: that you're sorry, and I understand that you're.
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: Upset, and I understand that you didn't want this to.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: Happen, okay?
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Just take some deep breaths, okay?
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: Things will be okay. I don't want to go to jail.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: You're not going to jail, okay?
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: We're not taking you to jail today.
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: You're not going to jail, okay?
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: What's the worst that's going to happen to me?
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Honey, I don't know.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: This isn't my case, okay? He's talking.
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: He just wants to get some things straightened up so.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: That we can figure out exactly what happened. Are you
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: being 100% honest with him?
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: I'm here.
• 20:06
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Now that we've seen her little performance, let me introduce
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: you to somebody named Dahlia DiPolito. You might know her
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: from a case that happened a very long time ago
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: where she called in a hit on her husband. The
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: way this story starts is that she had a one-night
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: stand with a guy named Muhammad Shahadi. During the time
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: that she knew him, she had asked him how to
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: hire someone to put a hit out on her husband.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: So Muhammad Shahadi pretty much immediately went to the police
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: with this information, and they had asked him to be
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: an informant and try to help them catch her in
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: the act of attempting to hire a hitman to kill
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: her husband. So he said yes to that, and the
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: great thing is, is that they caught it all on tape. Now,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: part of this ruse is that they had to convince
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: her that her husband was dead, and so after she
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: had given the guy a bunch of money to go
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: buy a gun and told the guy that she was 5,000%
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: sure that she wanted her husband dead, they had comes
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: to her house and had told her that her husband
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: is dead. And this is how she responded.
• 21:11
  Speaker 11: It's a great performance. A newlywed in tears after being
• 21:15
  Speaker 11: told her husband has just been found murdered. But those
• 21:22
  Speaker 11: are crocodile tears. Dahlia DiPolito has fallen into a trap.
• 21:26
  Speaker 11: The hitman she hired to carry out the murder was
• 21:30
  Speaker 11: actually an undercover cop. Dahlia played the grieving widow.
• 21:36
  Speaker 9: For all it was worth.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Or a more interesting thing would be to look at
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: her interrogation. Now I ask you, does this look a
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: little familiar?
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: You're going to jail today for solicitation of murder. You're
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: under arrest. That's an undercover police officer. We filmed everything
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: that you did. recorded everything that you did. You're going
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: to jail for solicitation of first-degree murder on your husband.
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: I didn't do anything.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: Did you hear what I just told you?
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: I heard what you said, but I didn't do anything.
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: Everything, listen to me. Everything has been recorded. You were
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: photographed in the convertible when you sat in his car
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: in the front of CVS. What do you want to do?
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: What do you want to do here? I didn't do anything.
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: Listen to me. I didn't do anything. You're going to jail.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: I didn't do anything. Please, I didn't do anything. Tell
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: me you didn't do anything. I didn't do anything. You're
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: going to jail today. As soon as I'm done, they're
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: going to come in here and handcuff you and take
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: you to the Palm Beach County Jail, book you for
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: solicitation of first-degree murder on your husband. Your husband is
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: well and alive.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: Thank God.
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, thank God. Please, please. No, he doesn't want
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: to see you.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: He doesn't want.
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: To see you. You better quit your playing. Listen to me.
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: I want you to quit your acting and get this
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: over with. Yes, you are. Okay.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: You need a real good attorney.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Now, as you're watching this next clip, I want you
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: to think about how she acted during the interrogation and
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: how she acted when she found out that her husband
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: was dead.
• 23:27
  Speaker 11: And shortly afterward, gives him a photo of Mike.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Quite a different demeanor, isn't it? I mean, this chick
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: was absolutely outright arrogant. She was so arrogant that when
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: she got booked and she used her phone call, she
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: called her husband, the guy... who she tried to kill,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: and she tried to get him to help her. I'll
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: leave the phone conversation in the description as well as
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: all of the other relevant clips. But during this phone conversation,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: she pulls one of my favorite lines that any abusive
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: female manipulator will use. And if you've listened to this
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: channel long enough, you've probably heard me say this multiple times.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: But she pulls, on the guy she tried to murder,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: she pulls a variant of, I do so much for you,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: But you never do anything for me.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: Why? Why? Why should I? Because you know me.
• 24:29
  Speaker 9: Okay, whatever you do to me, I am there for.
• 24:31
  Speaker 10: You, period.
• 24:33
  Speaker 8: You know that.
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: Or am I not?
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: You couldn't even get off the couch the other day,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: and I came, and I brought you dinner, and I.
• 24:43
  Speaker 10: This, and I that, and I always think you should
• 24:45
  Speaker 10: always be there.
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: You're always everything.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: I never, ever, ever, ever, ever in my wildest dreams
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: ever walked up for you, ever.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Now, to give credit where credit is due, I always
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: like to have things make sense. I like to have
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the I's dotted and the T's crossed. And to me,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense that this perfectly innocent guy would
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: just end up with a cruel murderer who is a
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: complete sociopath. And with a little research, with a little effort,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: and a little help, I found out the rest of
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: the story. Turns out that Mike DiPolito, the guy who
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: had his wife try to kill him, was a convicted
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: scam artist. So nobody's ever really innocent here. When you're
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: in relationships, you pick the people who you deserve. And
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: you know, in the case of Brooke Richardson, when you parent,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: you get the kids you deserve. But I mention this
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: because just like Dahlia, Brooke is extremely arrogant after the crime.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: After her baby was dead, the next day she sends
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: a text to her mom talking about how great her
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: belly is going to look and that her belly is back.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: This is compounded with the fact that she basically shows
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: no remorse for her supposedly stillborn child. I've had at
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: least five people in my life who have experienced stillbirths
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: and every single one of them was devastated by the stillbirth.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Brooke constantly tries to refer to the baby as it
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: as opposed to her as opposed to recognizing it as
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: an actual human life. And the only time she is
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: really genuinely emotional and genuinely crying is when she's afraid
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: because she doesn't want to go to jail. I think
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: she very effectively uses this fear of going to jail
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: to pull off a very believable cry. And then during
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: the reaction to the interrogation with her parents, she does
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: at least twice do some very manipulative acts. One, she says,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Can I please hold your hand, mommy? And two, she says,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Will you always love me?
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: Honey, please stop. That doesn't help. You did a horrible thing.
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: I didn't kill her. You got pregnant.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: You had a baby in our house and you never
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: told us. When she does this, she's trying to test
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: how much worse this is than that.
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: Would have been.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: If her parents believe her, or she's trying to guilt
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: her parents into believing her. And by the way, don't
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: think for a second that I would ever let the
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: parents off the hook for this situation. The parents are
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: just as bad as she is because they raised a
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: daughter who would do such a thing. Once during the interrogation,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: she says that she has a good relationship with her parents.
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: But they're going to love you no matter what.
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: And they're going to help you from here on out, okay?
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: Yes, they're good parents.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: They will help me.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: Do you have a good relationship.
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: With your mom? Pretty good.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: What about your dad? He's very supportive. We don't have
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: that much or not as close as.
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: Me and my mom.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Now when she says that, whether she knows it
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: or not, that is an outright lie. If you have
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: a good relationship with your parents, you don't become anorexic.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: If you have a good relationship with your parents, you
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: don't have unprotected sex and get pregnant. And especially if
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: you have a good relationship with your parents, you don't
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: become so afraid of telling them that you're pregnant that
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: you have a baby entirely in secret in the middle
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: of the night. Give birth by yourself with zero medical attention. Now,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: keep in mind, she may not have known this, but
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: in the past, birth without medical attention was a major
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: cause of death. A lot of women died in the
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: past because of childbirth. So she does that by herself.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: She goes through all the pain of childbirth. She buries
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: her dead daughter. She has to bury a corpse. She
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: has to get rid of all of the evidence in
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: the middle of the night. Yet she has a good
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: relationship with her parents.
• 29:11
  Speaker 11: No.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: No, she doesn't. And that is their fault. So they
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: are not innocent in this situation either. Which brings me
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: to the prosecution. And the judge at the very end
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: of the sentencing said something that I found really interesting.
• 29:26
  Speaker 10: Life is precious, and it should be protected, and it
• 29:30
  Speaker 10: should be guarded in all respects. And I have reviewed
• 29:35
  Speaker 10: all of the expert reports in this case. I listened
• 29:37
  Speaker 10: to the experts' testimony. I firmly believe Ms.
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: Richardson.
• 29:42
  Speaker 10: In fact, I know in my heart that if you
• 29:47
  Speaker 10: would have made different decisions in this case, Annabelle would
• 29:51
  Speaker 10: be here today. And I know that might be difficult
• 29:55
  Speaker 10: for you to hear. Some people are inclined to think
• 29:59
  Speaker 10: to themselves, You know, this is America. We kill unborn
• 30:01
  Speaker 10: babies every day. But I don't look at it that way, Ms.
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: Richardson.
• 30:08
  Speaker 9: And the law does not allow.
• 30:10
  Speaker 10: Me to consider the acts that you took prior to
• 30:16
  Speaker 10: giving birth. But I think that your choices before birth,
• 30:21
  Speaker 10: during birth, and after show a grotesque disregard for life.
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: And I think when I look at this case, that
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: to me is what offends the community sensibilities. But because
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: of policy decisions that are beyond my purview, the jury
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: was not permitted to consider those things and neither am I.
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: So I don't hold those things against you in the sentencing.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: In all honesty, I think the judge believes that she
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: is guilty. However, he and the jury could not act
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: on that belief because of the laws that have to
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: do with abortion. And there are some things that she
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: did which could not be considered that would really lead
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: you to believe that she is a murderer.
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: But if you went to the doctor....
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: And they prescribed you with the pill, and then they called.
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: Because the baby was no longer there. It doesn't make
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: any sense. I don't... If they gave you pills and
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: you took it, then that would have killed it. Then
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: you're Dr.
• 31:27
  Speaker 10: Nance-like.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: But I didn't do it on purpose.
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: I thought they gave me the pills. Okay.
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: You're absolutely 100% certain that you went to the doctor,
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: and they prescribed the pill to you in April, and
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: you started taking them?
• 31:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: So less than two weeks later, he delivered a stillborn baby.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Now, I mentioned earlier that the reason she found out
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: she was pregnant was because she went to the gynecologist
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: to get some birth control. She actually did end up
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: getting the prescription for that birth control, and she took
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: the birth control. Now, this is a pretty key point
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: because she's already pregnant. Why would she need birth control?
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: I think what may have happened... is that she thought
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: if she took birth control while she had a baby,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: or while she was pregnant, that it might cause a stillbirth,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: or it might kill the baby. However, during the trial,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: her doctors pointed out that it is very unlikely that
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: taking birth control while you're pregnant will harm the baby.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: I say this because during the interrogation, she had mentioned
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: that on one of her devices, her computer, her phone,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: or tablet, or whatever it was, that she looked up
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: how to have an abortion, or how to get rid
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: of a baby without a doctor noticing. during the third trimester.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: And certainly this was brought up in evidence, but I
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: don't know why this wasn't a bigger deal. This is
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: very clear evidence that she wants to kill the child.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: And I know that the laws are all weird because
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: of abortion, but abortion in the third trimester is illegal.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: So I would think, even though this was not the case,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: I would think that any sort of attempt, like her
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: taking birth control and attempt to kill the baby, would
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: be a considered attempted murder because she's passed the legal
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: limit for abortions. To my knowledge, after she found that
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: she was pregnant, she maintained her anorexia. Despite the fact
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: that when they did some initial tests of the baby,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: they found it to be perfectly healthy. And think of
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: how sick this is. Her gynecologist advised her on how
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: to go about adoption. He says there's people who will
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: be jumping to adopt your baby. You don't have to
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: take care of this kid. You can find somebody who
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: will take care of him for you. It could be someone...
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: who you sign up with, it could be a family
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: member or something like that. When you give birth, you're
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: going to be able to find someone who can take
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: care of this child's needs. 11 days after that gynecology visit,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: she gave birth. Now, I believe three days after the
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: gynecology visit, because she had an aunt or something that
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: worked for that office, her aunt notified the mother, Brooke's mother,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: that she was pregnant. And she had a confrontation with
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: her mother where her mother said, well, what's this? Someone
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: said you're pregnant. And she says, oh, I don't know
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: what that's about. And she had a chance, had a
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: chance to tell her mother, had a chance to be honest,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: but she didn't. I think that's a fault of Brooke
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: because this resulted in the death of her baby. And
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: I think this is a fault on her mother because
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Brooke felt so intimidated by her mother that she couldn't
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: talk about anything serious with her. Which brings us to
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: the most unfortunate part of the case for the prosecution
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: and the most fortunate part of the case for the
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: defense is that she gives birth to her daughter Annabelle
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the night. Now, who knows what
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: she did. The prosecution tried to say that she burned her,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: but apparently it's not possible to burn someone alive with
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: just a lighter, so that fell through. Plus, when they
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: found the remains, you would not have been able to
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: tell if the body was burnt or not, even if
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: it had been burnt, because when she buried it and
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: waited two months to get caught, basically, or to tell
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: anybody about the death, By that time, any part of
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: the body that could have been used to determine a
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: cause of death like cremation or burning was already gone,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: was already decomposed. The only thing that was left were
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: the skeletal remains. In this case, I think it's hard
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: for anything to be proven because probably the most likely
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: option is that she had the baby in the bathroom
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: and she drowned the baby in the toilet. Because think
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: of it this way. It's 12 o'clock at night or
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: it's 1 o'clock in the morning or whatever it is.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: She does not want her parents to know That she's
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: having a kid. She's gone to great lengths to hide
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: it from everybody. Whether she's afraid of her mom finding
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: out that she got pregnant. I think that was the fear.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: I don't think her dad was too neurotic. Or she's
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: afraid of everybody at school finding out and thinking that
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: she's a slut or something. But she went to great
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: lengths to hide that she was pregnant. So, she has
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: a baby. She gives birth. She makes it through all
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: the pain of childbirth without screaming. And then as soon
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: as her baby comes out, it starts crying. middle of
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: the night, crying baby, people are going to hear that.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: So to make it not cry, she suffocates it, or
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: she puts her hand over its mouth, or drowns it
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: in the toilet. Something that would have been provable if
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: she had been caught before the remains decomposed. I think
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: there are two likely situations here. Either she killed the
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: baby after she was born, or she did so many
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: things that caused damage to her child before the baby
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: was born that she was born a stillbirth, like again,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: attempting to not eat or trying to find some back
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: alley abortion technique or maybe punching herself in the stomach
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: so the baby would die. I don't think she's innocent
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: at all. There were two slips during this whole event
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: that I found interesting during her interrogation and after the interrogation.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: There's one during the interrogation where she says she didn't
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: mean to kill her baby. And then after the interrogation,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: she says to her parents that she would never harm
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: her baby.
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: I never meant to kill my baby.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: I didn't do it on purpose.
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: I didn't.
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: I understand. I understand.
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: I love you guys.
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: I love you too, but it's got us in a
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: really bad, bad spot right now.
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: I don't even know what to do.
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: I don't know if I should be trying to call
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: an attorney or somebody to defend you or.
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: What they're going to do.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: With my own baby, I would never try and hurt it.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: Well, we know that's not true because during the interrogation,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: she said, that she looked up techniques to be able
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: to abort a child without a doctor. That's hurting the baby.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: And so there's that, there's a sympathy to crying, there's the,
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: will you always love me? There's the testing of her
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: parents to see if they still believe her. But I
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: think the most damning thing for me in terms of
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: what doesn't make sense about her demeanor and why it
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: makes a lot more sense that she killed the baby
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: versus it was a stillbirth and she just had a
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: freak reaction, despite the fact of all her premeditation for
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: killing the baby before it was born, with the whole
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: abortion thing, and the birth control thing, and the anorexia thing,
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: is just the pure amount of distance she sets herself
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: from her child. This is a very, very dangerous thing
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: when you're talking about situations of violence. And let me
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: go on a slight tangent here because I think it
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: helps explain the point. Something that happens quite a lot
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: on Stefan Molyneux's calling shows is he'll be talking about
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: someone who was pretty ritually abused. And that person might
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: say something like, well, my parents loved me. And Stefan
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: will always respond in this situation, no, they didn't. Because
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: if you love somebody, if you love something, you can't
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: hurt them. You can only hurt things that you hate.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: People don't just cause extreme harm to things that they love.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: In fact, people often don't cause extreme harm to things
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: that they're neutral about, or they don't really care much for.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: In fact, that was actually a really big problem back
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: in the 1940s in Germany. our certain German leader, who
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: I can't mention because this is YouTube, but our certain
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: German leader had a lot of trouble getting his soldiers
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: to commit murder. He would say, okay, we've got to
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: exterminate this entire town, and people would get their weapons,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: they'd go to the town, and they would fire at
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: the people, and they'd miss on purpose. Or they'd get drunk,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: or they'd flee the battle site. So after a while,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: they got very good at getting soldiers to harm other people.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: And I say this as a warning for people who
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: are trying to manipulate you into abusing somebody else. So
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: what they did when soldiers refused to kill is they
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: would try to distance the soldiers away from the people
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: they were killing. One of their methods was to round
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: everybody up and then have them face down in the
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: dirt and they would have the soldiers shoot them in
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: the back of the head so they didn't have to
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: look them in the eyes that were killing them. That
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: made it way easier. to get the soldiers to kill
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: innocent people. Another method they used to get soldiers to
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: kill innocent people was to, this is actually probably the
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: favorite method, was to go into a building where they
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: had suspects in the building, and they would chuck a
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: grenade in that building, kill everybody in the building or
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: severely wound them, and then they would just leave. That way,
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: they don't have to see anybody at all. It is
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: easy to cause harm to things that you hate or
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: things that you're distant from. This is why abortion is
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: a thing. It's abortion if you're inside the womb, and
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: it's murder if you're outside the womb. It's murder in
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: both cases, but the reason it is not murder when
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: you're inside the womb is because you can't see the baby.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: When you can see the baby, it's murder. When you can't,
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: it's not. It's not about the morality. It's about the distance.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Brooke Skylar Richardson seemed to have done everything possible that
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: she could to distance herself from the baby by calling it,
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: by really not showing any emotion for the death of
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: by only really focusing on her being incarcerated or not,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: not really focusing on the baby's well-being, didn't really seem
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: to care about the child at all, which makes it
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: very likely that she was capable of harming the baby.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: And we have evidence that she was capable of harming
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: the baby because she took birth control. Even though the
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: birth control didn't do anything, she took birth control in
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: an attempt to stillbirth the baby. But I guess none
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: of that matters. It didn't matter that she showed zero
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: motivations for protecting the baby. It didn't matter that she
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: showed every single reason to kill that child. It didn't
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: matter that she attempted an abortion during the third trimester,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: which is illegal for some reason that evidence had to
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: be thrown out. And well, I guess she pulled an
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: OJ Simpson on this one and got away with murder.
