A judge has ordered a mental health evaluation for a Manasass woman convicted in her 13-year-old adopted daughter's slaying.

Forty-five-year-old Alfreedia Gregg-Glover pleaded guilty in July to felony murder and other charges in the death of her daughter Alexis "Lexie" Agyepong-Glover.

A judge delayed Gregg-Glover's sentencing last week after her attorney raised questions about her mental health. A jail therapist testified Thursday that Gregg-Glover refuses to speak with jail staff.

Prince William County Circuit Court Judge Craig D. Johnston ordered Gregg-Glover undergo a mental health evaluation to help determine if she should be sent to jail or first sent to a mental health hospital for treatment. Another hearing is set for December.
