After a jury found Veva Virgil guilty and designated her as insane in 2014, she was committed to psychiatric care. However, she later missed required court hearings and was arrested.
Defense attorney Jaime Longoria explained that Virgil entered an abusive relationship where she was fed drugs, which contributed to her seeking a return to state commitment for treatment.
Trial testimony indicated that Virgil, under the influence of meth, smothered her daughter because she believed the world was ending, highlighting the impact of her mental health condition.
The upcoming hearing on September 30 will determine if Veva Virgil will return to the care of the Department of State Hospitals after her recent legal troubles.
