Richardson, now 20, is facing trial for aggravated murder, involuntary manslaughter, gross abuse of a corpse, tampering with evidence and child endangerment. She has pleaded not guilty.
She also told police that she looked into an abortion, but it was too late to have one. She denied that she performed an abortion on herself.
While Richardson was talking to police, other officers were searching the family’s property. They said they found the remains of a newborn girl in Richardson’s backyard — then arrested the teen on multiple charges.
