LEBANON (AP) — The judge in the case of an 18-year-old charged in the death of her newborn buried at her home is continuing to bar attorneys and others in the case from commenting publicly outside court.
The Warren County judge ruled Friday that the gag order he issued earlier in the case against 18-year-old Brooke Skylar Richardson will remain in place.
Richardson has pleaded not guilty to charges including aggravated murder in the May death of the infant.
The remains were found July 14 in Carlisle, about 40 miles (64 kilometers) north of Cincinnati.
