A Prince William County judge ordered a mental health evaluation Thursday for a woman who left her adopted 13-year-old daughter for dead in a frigid creek, prosecutors said.
Alfreedia L. Gregg-Glover, 45, has pleaded guilty to abusing and killing Alexis "Lexie" Agyepong-Glover and of lying to police about it.
Under Virginia law, a defendant who is found to be mentally ill after being convicted but before sentencing may be sent to a mental hospital instead of prison.
Once treatment is completed, the defendant would finish serving the sentence.
Defense attorney John V. Notarianni asked for the evaluation after a nurse at the county jail expressed concerns about Gregg-Glover's mental health.
A court hearing is scheduled Dec. 11.
