Furious neighbors slam ‘baby-killing’ cheerleader as she is seen driving around town and out to eat

The Ohio cheerleader who is facing charges including aggravated murder and involuntary manslaughter for allegedly burying her newborn daughter in the backyard last May has been freely roaming around town for the past month, leaving some residents in a rage.

Brooke ‘Skylar’ Richardson was put on modified house arrest last month, with the judge ruling she would have a curfew of 9pm through 7am and be supervised via GPS monitoring and random home visits 

That was shocking news to one woman, who saw Richardson just two days later and wrote: ‘My husband and I saw the teenage girl from Carlisle who killed and buried her own baby. She was at the restaurant we were at, talking on her iPhone. How is someone who is awaiting trial for aggravated murder not in jail?!’

A few days later a woman snapped her at a McDonald’s drive thru, and she has also been seen playing with her dog outside her home. 

One woman has now spent close to a year tracking her every move and is frequently critical of the family’s actions.

Richardson’s modified release came after her defense team sought a ruling to bar prosecutors from presenting testimony from an obstetrics-gynecology practice’s medical staff, citing physician-patient privilege that she won’t give up.

Prosecutors argued that the privilege doesn’t apply in this case, but were ultimately shot down and forced to delay the start of the trial without that crucial evidence. 

There is no timeline as to when the trial will start again. 

Authorities first learned of the baby from a doctor Richardson had visited just a few weeks before she gave birth. 

The remains were found soon after, and prosecutors believe that Richardson buried the baby shortly after giving birth.

Richardson was full term when she gave birth tot he girl, delivering the child in her bathroom just within days after her senior prom last May.

County Prosecutor David Fornshell said Skylar, as she is known, and her family had been worried about community reaction to her out-of-wedlock pregnancy.

‘Skylar and her family, particularly her mother, were pretty obsessed with external appearances and how things appeared to the outside world,’ he said early in the proceedings.

‘You have a situation where, you know, she’s a cute high school, recent high school graduate; she was a cheerleader described (as) a good girl by her attorney as you heard after the arraignment. And I think that kind of perception is one that Skylar wanted to perpetuate and her mother wanted to perpetuate.’

The story line of an appearances-driven cheerleader who would kill, burn and bury her newborn, as authorities alleged, took off. 

There is no proof however that she burned the child, and her defense continues to claim the child was delivered stillborn.

Two Facebooks pages have been dedicated to the case and critics of the family have shot and posted video and photos of the family and their home, often with sharp commentary.

Her defense attorneys have blasted prosecutors for ‘a false narrative’ that sensationalized the case.

They say she didn’t kill the baby, and that an expert witness concluded there was no sign of burning or of trauma that would have caused the baby’s death.

What started as an 18-year-old high school girl who was frightened and saddened because of giving birth to a stillborn baby whom she named Annabelle and then telling her doctor of the stillborn and burial in the backyard turned into something sinister and grotesque,’ they said in a motion to move the trial.’

Judge Donald Oda declined the change of venue request, saying he would try to seat a jury first. 

Then, the trial was called off. 

In the interim that case has gained attention through a lengthy piece Cosmopolitan and the aforementioned Facebook pages, which are updated multiple times throughout the day with new messages and hundreds of comments.
