Skylar Richardson's defense delivers its opening statement to the jury; her lawyer argues that Annabelle was not murdered but was instead a stillborn; the defense claims that detectives coerced her into a confession.

Skylar Richardson brings in medical professionals who saw the defendant in the weeks leading up to the birth of her baby, Annabelle; Skylar states she had appointments with two different OB-GYNs late in her pregnancy and after giving birth.

Skylar Richardson's doctor testifies about the last appointment he had with her before she gave birth to her daughter; prosecutors stress the importance of the OB-GYN visit just weeks before she gave birth.

Prosecutors called a close friend of Rosemarie Essa who personally investigated what happened to her. As an ER nurse herself, this friend was looking for clues from the coroner's office about the calcium pills Rosemarie took right before her car accident. Christine DiCillo claimed that after her friend suddenly dropped dead she suspected foul play.

The jury learned about an off-handed joke the defendant allegedly made at work just days after his wife, Rosemarie, died. Yazeed Essa supposedly said, I don't have to sneak women over anymore. Next, prosecutors brought in a chemist/toxicologist in their case to the jury. Douglas Rohde was the one who did a chemical analysis of the calcium pills in this case. Investigators say her pill was laced with cyanide.

The toxicologist who did the test on the remains of Rosemarie Essa had more to tell the jury. These jurors learned all about the deadly nature of cyanide when it enters the body. Douglas Rohde, a chemist/toxicologist, went into details on how he tested the tampered calcium pills that allegedly took Rosemarie's life. He made clear that several tests are conducted in a lab setting when dealing with a controlled substance.

The cross-examination began on the forensic chemist and toxicologist. Douglas Rohde had examined the remains of Rosemarie Essa, the victim. But the Defense tried to discredit his findings because the State claimed they linked Yazeed Essa with Rosemarie's death. The jury's attention shifted to physical evidence. While the great majority of their case against Yazeed Essa was circumstantial, prosecutors did retrieve key pieces of evidence that were linked to the poisoning of his wife, Rosemarie.
