A young Ohio woman acquitted of killing and burying her newborn in the backyard was sentenced Friday to three years' probation on a corpse abuse charge.
Brooke Skylar Richardson, 20, apologized before a Warren County judge told her she showed a "grotesque disregard for life." Richardson buried her newborn daughter in her family's backyard in 2017.
Oda warned Richardson, a first-time offender, that he can send her to
prison for up to a year if she violates probation.
