An Ohio woman who was found guilty of abuse of a corpse in connection with the death of her newborn daughter was sentenced to three years of basic supervision, but will serve no more jail time
As part of the sentence, Brooke Skylar Richardson, 20, was to spend seven days in the county jail, but Warren County Judge Donald Oda II credited her with time already served. Should she violate any terms of her supervision, Richardson could face up to 12 months behind bars, the judge said.
" The maximum possible sentence Oda could have granted was 12 months in prison and a $2,500 fine.But the judge called the case a"mandatory community control case," since Richardson had no prior criminal record, among other criteria. That limited him to ordering a sentence of, at most, six months in county jail, he said, which prosecutors called for.
