About this listen

 In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield walks through the disturbing case of Brooke Skylar Richardson, an Ohio high school senior who secretly gave birth, buried her newborn in her parents’ backyard, and later stood trial for murder.

The case quickly became a fight over what actually happened in the moments after that baby was born. Prosecutors told the jury the newborn was alive. The defense insisted she was stillborn. And in the end, jurors were left trying to decide whether Brooke Richardson killed her baby, or whether the truth was something that could never be fully proven.
