Veva Virgil, who smothered her 3-year-old daughter in 2008, requested to return to in-patient psychiatric care this week after missing court hearings and facing arrest.
Virgil's defense argued she fell into an abusive relationship where drugs were involved, signifying her need to return to state commitment for skill development.
The jury concluded that Virgil's mental health issues, rather than drug-induced psychosis, were responsible for her tragic actions against her daughter.
Virgil had been under the influence of methamphetamine for several days when she committed the murder, believing the world was ending.
