A Hispanic woman who threw her two-year-old granddaughter to her death from a 45-foot-high bridge at a busy shopping mall has been jailed for 35 years

Carmela dela Rosa was found guilty of first degree murder in October 2011 for the horrifying killing of Angelyn Ogdoc. A judge has now granted she serve the entirety of the hefty sentence recommended by the jury that convicted her. Dela Rosa threw Angelyn from the skywalk like a piece of trash at Tysons Corner Center, Virginia state's largest mall. She had deliberately walked behind the rest of the family with Angelyn as they exited along a skywalk between the mall and a parking garage, intending to throw the youngster over the rail without any interference. She had been upset that her son-in-law, James Ogdoc, had impregnated her daughter out of wedlock, although the couple married shortly before Angelyn was born.
