FAIRFAX, Va. - A Virginia grandmother was convicted yesterday of first-degree murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison for tossing her 2-year-old granddaughter from a pedestrian bridge at a shopping mall.

Carmela dela Rosa threw Angelyn Ogdoc off a 45-foot-high skywalk like a “piece of trash’’ at Tysons Corner Center, the state’s largest mall, last November during the holiday season, prosecutors said. Dela Rosa was upset that her son-in-law had gotten her daughter pregnant out of wedlock, prosecutors said.
