After secretly giving birth, high school cheerleader Skylar Richardson buried the baby in her backyard. But was the child born alive and killed by Skylar, or stillborn? In the face of a problematic interrogation, Skylar confessed not only to killing the baby but also to burning it in an effort to destroy the evidence. A gruesome crime? Or overzealous police tricking an innocent teenager? In the pilot episode of The Truth About False Confessions, Professor Alan Hirsch, who was an expert witness at Skylar’s trial and interviewed her post-trial, recounts this riveting case.
