The mother of a 2-year-old thrown over a mall walkway testified Wednesday about the evening the toddler’s grandmother flung her to her death. The Associated Press reports that Mary Kathlyn Ogdoc tearfully described seeing a blank expression on Carmela Dela Rosa’s face after Dela Rosa threw the girl from a sixth-floor walkway at the Tysons Corner Center.
Dela Rosa is charged with murder in the Nov. 29, 2010, incident. Prosecutors say she killed the child, Angelyn Ogdoc, out of anger at her daughter’s husband.
The trial began Monday in Fairfax County Circuit Court. Dela Rosa’s attorneys say she is legally insane.
Prosecutors rested their case Wednesday. Earlier in the week, jurors saw Dela Rosa confess to throwing the toddler in a taped police interrogation.
