Jury selection underway in grandma’s murder trial

Jury selection is under way in the trial of a woman accused of tossing her 2-year-old granddaughter to her death at the Tysons Corner Center.

Carmela Dela Rosa, 50, is charged with murder in the Nov. 29, 2010, death of Angelyn Ogdoc. Prosecutors say Dela Rosa threw her granddaughter off a sixth-floor walkway connecting the mall to a parking garage.

Dela Rosa’s attorney says she is presenting an insanity defense.

Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney on Monday questioned prospective jurors about their interactions with psychologists and psychiatrists, and their views about mental health professionals.
