FORMER CHEERLEADER ON TRIAL FOR KILLING NEWBORN DAUGHTER
August 30, 2019
[...]
Jury selection will begin Tuesday, Sept. 3.

THE TIMELINE
2017

April 26: Dr. William Andrew informs Richardson she is in the late stages of pregnancy.

May 4*: Richardson attends her high school prom. Friends and family say they had no idea she was pregnant.

May 6*: Richardson’s baby, “Annabelle,” buried in the backyard. Exact date unknown and listed by the court as sometime in “early May.”

July 12: Richardson tells Dr. Casey Boyce she had got into labor, delivered a stillborn baby, and buried the remains in her backyard. Dr. Andrew and Dr. Boyce call the Carlisle Police Department.

July 14: Warren County Sherriff’s Office announces skeletal remains were found at the Richardson home.

.....

October 22: Ohio Court of Appeals rules (1) Richardson’s physician patient privilege does not apply to communications between Dr. Andrew, his staff and the medical records relating to the April 26, 2017, appointment; (2) privilege does not apply to Richardson’s reaction to learning she was pregnant at the April 26, 2017, appointment.

.
Do both sides agree that Richardson did not know that she was pregnant until two weeks before the baby was delivered?

WARREN COUNTY, Ohio -- Jury selection begins Tuesday in the trial of Brooke Skylar Richardson, a Carlisle woman accused of killing her newborn child days after her senior prom. Supporters, detractors, family members, prosecution and defense have spent two years building different stories around the same pair of images: A blonde girl in a red prom dress and a tiny corpse concealed in a small-town back yard.

Richardson, now 20, was 18 years old and a recent high school graduate on July 14, 2017, when investigators discovered the remains of an infant buried near her family’s home.

Court documents indicate one of her doctors, Casey Boyce, had contacted police after a tearful Richardson told her “she had gone into labor, delivered a stillborn baby and buried the baby in her backyard” months before. The pregnancy had been secret from everyone, Richardson claimed at the time. Even her parents.

LEBANON, Ohio (AP) — The prosecutorial narrative of a small-town cheerleader so desperate to hide an out-of-wedlock pregnancy that she allegedly killed and buried her baby just days after her senior prom has gripped her home region of southwest Ohio.

Attorneys and the judge in the trial of Brooke Skylar Richardson will start learning Tuesday what impact news coverage and social media debate has had on their ability to seat a fair and impartial jury. Now 20, Richardson has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder and other charges in the death of her baby, whose remains were found in July 2017 in her family's backyard in Carlisle, a village of some 5,000 people 40 miles (65 kilometers) north of Cincinnati.

Warren County Common Pleas Judge Donald Oda II last month rejected for a second time the defense's request to move the trial. He said then he plans an initial jury pool of some 70 people. They will fill out questionnaires and courtroom questioning about their knowledge and opinions about the high-profile case .

Judge Donald Oda II just took the bench. Court is in session.
@journalnews

Oda tells the prospective jurors that not every juror is right for every case. There may be something in the background that could make them less that impartial.
@journalnews

State alleges the Richardson killed her newborn baby in the summer of 2017 or failed the render aid to the baby then buried it in the backyard, Oda tells prospective jurors.

"Media is not permitted to take pictures of prospective jurors," Oda says. "So you don't have to worry about how you look." That got a bit of a laugh.
@journalnews

Prosecutors Steve Knippen and and Julie Kraft have introduced themselves to the prospective jurors.
@journalnews

Charles M. Rittgers introduced Skylar to the jury pool. "It is my honor and privilege to represent Skylar Richardson." He said then introduced his father Charles H. Rittgers.Skylar stood and look straight ahead

Hearing about the case on social media or media does not excuse jurors from being seated
@journalnews

"A good juror is a good listener and must follow the law," Judge Oda tells the jury pool.
@journalnews

"Ms. Richardson is presumed to be innocent ... she has noting to prove," Judge says. Noting it is the prosecution's job to prove her guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
@journalnews

And here comes the attorneys to address the jury pool. Each side has 8 minutes. First up Julie Kraft for the prosecution.

This is a preliminary opening statement, she says
@journalnews

Fair and impartial mean you have not yet made up your mind about this case, Kraft tells them
@journalnews

The evidence will show in aug. 2016, Sylar had a sexual relationship with a young man
@journalnews

Upon learning she was pregnant she "burst into tear," said she could not have the child.
@journalnews

She gave birth that baby in her house in May 2017 and told no one, then buried the baby in the back yard,
@journalnews

Lauren Pack@LPack JN
When confronted by a doctor months later at a visit for a refill of birth control, Richardson admitted she had the baby in the middle of the night and buried it in the backyard, Kraft tells the jury pool.
@journalnews

Because Richardson's baby decomposed in the backyard for two months, there were only skeletal remains left when found, Kraft said.
@journalnews

Kraft has finished. Up next is Charles M. Rittgers or Charles Jr.

I presume this is the defense Charles M Rittgers

More that two year ago a detective said Skyler put a lighter to the baby, but now don't have the guts to say they were wrong.
@journalnews

This is a case that was built after second interrogation of Skylar, Rittgers Jr. says.
@journalnews

When the try to get a confession out of Skyar based of evidence that has been recanted by the expert about the burning, she blurts out something.
@journalnews

Skylar told the detectives she didn't cut the cord and the baby was white when born, Rittgers Jr. said

Lauren Pack@LPack JN
Annabelle, Skylar's fetus, was very small and the doctor told her she was 32 weeks along, Rittgers Jr. says.
@journalnews

Skylar thought she had 10 weeks before delivering the baby. Thought she could got to prom, graduate before telling her mother.
@journalnews

"This is a massive rush to judgment," Rittgers Jr.
@journalnews

Prospective jurors will now fill out questions for about 10 minutes and selection will continue later this morning
