The cheerleader who buried her baby in her backyard after giving birth in secret was found not guilty of murder, manslaughter and child endangerment on Thursday.
Skylar Richardson, 20, had been facing life in prison if convicted of all the charges.
They included aggravated murder, manslaughter, gross abuse of a corpse and child endangerment. She has also been charged with tampering with evidence but the judge removed that count during the trial.
But after deliberating for around three hours on Thursday, a jury found her not guilty of the most serious charges.
She was convicted of gross abuse of a corpse and now faces a maximum of one year behind bars.
Skylar wept as the verdict was read out in court and told her parents as she was led away in handcuffs afterwards 'I love you'.
Her mother Kim whispered back to her: 'We love you baby... it'll be OK.'
She will spend at least one night in jail before being sentenced on Friday morning. The minimum recommended sentence for felony gross abuse of a corpse in Ohio, where the trial took place, is six months imprisonment.
But her attorneys said after the verdict on Thursday that they do not expect her to be sentenced to prison.
'She's done enough time in this small town,' they said.
In May 2017, Skylar gave birth in the middle of the night to a baby girl she called Annabelle.
