Obviously, these are from prior to the sentencing, so old news, but it feeds my morbid need-to-know.
With the penalty phase underway in Johnston County for the man convicted of killing Teghan Skiba, the courtroom heard Friday how emotional Jonathan Richardson was when he told his mother about the 4-year-old's death. . . .

An already graphic and horrifying trial got even worse Friday as his defense attorneys played a video of Richardson crying as he told his mother about Skiba's death - saying "I loved her to death."

In the 2010 video, Richardson told his mom that he loved Skiba and she calls him daddy. He said it wasn't looking good for Skiba, and that she wasn't really breathing, and wanted to know if that was bad. He then told her he "didn't do it." Richardson also told his mother he wanted to go to church. . . .

"In my opinion Teghan Skiba was a victim of child torture," Dr. Sharon Cooper said. "She had more than 144 injuries...that is an extraordinarily high number of injuries...that's a particularly harsh action and causes especially a cruel pain and suffering much more pain and suffering perhaps than the first time the person was injured at that site. So the presence of a new injury over an old injury will cause this child to have that much more pain and that would be another type of action that would strongly support sadistic gratification."

Cooper went into great detail but what she described was so disturbing that Skiba's grandparents walked out.

So, is he suffering from an undiagnosed mental defect?
A doctor was on the stand all afternoon talking about the convicted killer's upbringing. He said there's a lot of smoke pointing to one thing.

"I concluded that he's a quite disturbed individual," said psychologist Dr. Mathew Mendel. "I concluded that there's a lot of mystery involved with Jonathan Richardson and with his family more generally, and frankly I had more difficulty finding out information."

While Mendel says there's a lot of smoke, he couldn't pinpoint a fire -- meaning what actually was wrong with Richardson.

A defense-hired psychologist was on the stand again Tuesday and the prosecution grilled the doctor all day long.

"I asked him do you miss her and he said, 'A lot. I sit in my room and cry about it and think about it a lot." Do you miss Helen? 'Not like I miss our daughter,'" said psychologist Dr. Mathew Mendel.

Richardson did say he missed Teghan, but never expressed remorse. Apparently, the defendant even has a tattoo with Teghan Skiba's name on his body.

A tattoo. How sweet. And original.
And then it seems he's far from a model prisoner, too:
A Superior Court judge in Johnston County on Wednesday ordered that Johnathan Douglas Richardson, who is facing a possible death sentence in the murder of 4-year-old Teghan Skiba, wear leg shackles for the remainder of his trial after a detention officer found a handmade knife in his jail cell.
Capt. James Gerrell with the Johnston County Jail testified that he found the shank – a fingernail file attached to a toothbrush – in the 25-year-old's cell Wednesday morning after another inmate alerted a detention officer.

Judge Thomas Lock ordered that Richardson wear the shackles "to prevent the defendant's escape and ensure safety of court personnel." . . .

Lock ordered that the shackles not be visible to the jury. He also said Richardson should not be handcuffed.
Lock then asked Richardson if there was anything he wanted to say.

Richardson stood and replied, "I'd like to see it on camera" – possibly referring to security video of his cell.

Documents presented in court Tuesday detailed numerous behavioral problems with Richardson during his incarceration, including accusations that he incited inmates and threatened to stab a detention officer. . . .

Sandy Penny, the longtime live-in girlfriend of Richardson's father, Douglas Richardson, testified that she never saw any signs of abuse and that although Douglas Richardson disciplined his son, he was never abusive.

"He did spank him, but I can tell you – I can count on one hand how many times he spanked him," Penny said. "I mean, we all get angry and raise our voice, but he is not an angry man. He's a very loving, fun man. He was a good dad, and they had a good father-son relationship."

Sick f*cks like this deserve to be castrated. In other words, make them suffer the same way their victims suffered.
 
The mother of a 4-year-old Smithfield girl who died in 2010 after authorities said she was tortured was sentenced Wednesday to 18 to 31 months in prison as a result of the charges

Teghan Skiba died on July 19, 2010, three days after she was taken to a Smithfield hospital with cuts, lacerations, bite marks, head trauma and sexual assault injuries.

Authorities said Skiba’s mother, Helen Reyes, went to New Mexico for Army Reserve training and left her daughter in the care of Jonathan Douglas Richardson.

Prosecutors in 2014 said Richardson physically and sexually abused the child for 10 days inside a small shed behind his grandparents' home before taking her to the hospital.

Reyes last month plead guilty to a charge of Class E felony child abuse, admitting she showed “reckless disregard for the welfare of the child, resulting in serious bodily injury.”

While testifying against Richardson in 2014, Reyes described him as a father-figure to Skiba, but outlines multiple instances in which she returned home to find the girl had sustained injuries while in his care.

I don't think Reyes ever told him to lay off.

She got home after he whipped her with an extension cord and was livid but only told him to not to ever touch her again? That's not livid to me; just imagining someone doing that to my babies gives me rage.

Fucking dick worshipper is what she is. She begged him not to leave her?? Did she not know that there are plenty of non psychotic men out there.
When my daughter was 9 I had a man over to our house. I had recently met him, he seemed nice enough, and we were in the kitchen while I made tacos, sipping on 2 beers. My girl came in from outdoor play & interrupted the conversation he & I were having, as children do. He grabbed her wrist, told her she was being disrespectful, & she told him to let go, which he did not. It all happened quite fast, but I escorted him to the door as I pried his fingers from her wrist. I can still recall the sound my foot made as it connected with his ass, and the thumping of his body on all 5 concrete steps from the porch. I slammed the door. I am not proud of that episode but I also am not ashamed. He was someone I allowed, quite briefly, in daylight, to have exposure to my precious daughter in the most average, normal setting. But he put his hands on my daughter, making demands of respect from her when he had no right or invitation to do so. Furthermore he refused to unhand her when demanded. He may have thought to impress me with his substitute daddy act but it only brought out the mama bear in me. I hope he learned a lesson that day - my daughter sure did - she knew without a doubt where my priorities lay. I also made a point of no longer having men around her that I did not know very well after that day. I just cannot understand the lack of the maternal instinct to protect your young that these women in these cases display.

As a solo mom, I agree. Well said.

@pissedandsad, that was only the beginning. If you'd continued to see him, it would have gotten worse. I give you a LOT of credit for what you did.
 
I'm wondering why this shit bag's defense contended that he didn't sexually abuse her when he was convicted of it.. clearly there must have been proof of such happening, so why would they maintain he didn't do that? I can't find much about it online


I hate this mother and wish she was given a much harsher sentence than she was given. 18 to 31 months in prison will not teach this worthless bitch anything.
 
I googled "Teghan Skiba..." there's a lot out there about this case ...

The human bite marks ..there were 66 of them.....

Here's news video of the mom (Reyes) testifying against Richardson in 2014..


I don't know how long Reyes served in prison (if at all...) But at the time of the 2014 trial, it was mentioned in one of the news articles that she'd had another daughter...apparently that daughter was 8 months old at the time of the trial. .

I just read this whole thread and holy shit this idiot has no right to be a mother. Thats just great that she spawned again.
 
My heart, she looks so much like my daughters. Her big, luminous eyes, sweet smile. The very first mistake that...egg donor made was moving her daughter in to a SHED so she could have easy access to her dick. A shed with no plumbing or proper furniture.

She was army so it wasn't like she didn't have an income. She also had family, her mother was the family plan, to place her child while she went to training. This poor baby suffered worst than a POW being tortured and this asshole says he *misses* her? He has her precious name tattooed on his skin? WTF? I hope the fellow prisoners slice it off and make him eat it.
 

and wish she was given a much harsher sentence than she was given. 18 to 31 months in prison will not teach this worthless bitch anything.
