'She did not want to be mom': Former cheerleader allegedly killed and burned her newborn baby to protect her 'good girl' reputation
A former cheerleader from Ohio, who had been accused of burying the burned remains of her newborn baby in 2017, never went back to the clinic for an ultrasound, blood work, or any other kind of treatment after she found out she was pregnant.
The now 19-year-old Brooke Skylar Richardson was charged with aggravated murder, involuntary manslaughter, gross abuse of a corpse, tampering with evidence and child endangerment. She pleaded not guilty at the hearing and is currently free on bond.
Local TV station WLWT reported that, at the hearing that took place in the 12th District Court of Appeals on September 11 about whether the young mother's doctors should also be allowed to testify in her trial, the prosecutors said that her alleged reaction to hearing the news that she was going to be a mother showed that she was not interested in being one.
