LEBANON, Ohio (AP) — A young Ohio mother who prosecutors said killed and buried her unwanted newborn in her backyard was acquitted by jurors Thursday.
The Warren County jury deliberated for four hours before acquitting 20-year-old Brooke Skylar Richardson of aggravated murder, involuntary manslaughter and child endangerment charges.
She was found guilty of corpse abuse.
Richardson began crying as verdicts were being read.
Warren County Judge Donald Oda II scheduled sentencing for 11 a.m. Friday on the abuse of a corpse charge. It carries a potential sentence of up to one year in prison, but as a first-time offender, she could get probation.
Prosecutors contended that the high school cheerleader wanted to keep her “perfect life.” They said she hid her unwanted pregnancy and buried her baby in her family’s backyard in May 2017, within days of her senior prom.

I knew she would her family made her lawyer up right from the start.
Pussy pass/well she lost her baby bs.
Sick murderer and sick duped morons.
well her reckless boy lover got the penis pass.....he got off scot free...
Ping
Even better news, she has her flat belly back! /s
Didn’t her mama wonder why there were no tampons on the grocery list for 7 months?
Clear case of “Cool kids/Cheerleader” privilege?
If she ever comes to the Lord, she will hear about it. If she never comes to the Lord, she will have eternity to ponder it.
Apparently, there was ‘reasonable doubt’ is whether the baby was born alive, or was truly a Stillborn, as she claimed.
That still shouldn’t excuse disposing of the body as she did.
the depravity of a killer receiving probation to a max of 1 year for killing an infant is disgusting. I truly have no words to describe what I think about this situation.
Oh, that’s a great excuse......the sperm donor who she chose to spread her legs for was no indicted for the brutal murder,........ therefore she is innocent.....
God will not be so blind to her heartlessness, nor will he acquit jurors who thwart justice
I wouldn’t exactly call her a mother...
Defence proved their case.
This is sick. So a teenager can now kill her newborn and get away with it?
Since when is a boyfriend a murderer if his girlfriend murders her baby?
If its proven he helped, he’s a murderer too. If not, he’s not.
“Clear case of “Cool kids/Cheerleader” privilege?”
I have felt this in the air all along.
Reasonable doubt is dependent on the expertise of the paid expert witness. And the best expert witness is usually the highest paid of both teams............
You know they may have. The child might have been stillborn. If that is the case why did she just bury it in the back yard? I know the schools suck and Metmom can back me up on that but really she does not have better sense than to call 911 and say “I just gave birth and the baby is dead”?
She was found guilty of corpse abuse.
“young Ohio mother”
Those words carefully chosen by the’news’ media.
Young Ohio mother, she is no longer a mother, I HATE the MSM!!!!
