A judge in the St. James Parish Court on Thursday ordered that a request be made for Shamoya Green, the woman accused of throwing her infant daughter from a roof to her death in December, to get psychiatric care at the hospital where she is currently receiving treatment for injuries.
Presiding judge, Natiesha Fairclough-Hylton, issued the order after being told that Green, who was absent due to being at the Falmouth Public Hospital in Trelawny for undisclosed injuries, is expected to be committed for psychiatric evaluation on July 3.
The matter has been set for May 16, 2024, so that contact can be made with the hospital to see if the accused can be seen by a psychiatrist at Falmouth Hospital.
Ms. Green was charged in December following an investigation into the death of her five-month-old baby, Destiny Brown.
It was reported on December 6, Ms. Green was at home with her common-law husband and other family members when she asked to have a conversation with her partner about their relationship.
But the man reportedly deferred the talks for later that evening.
Ms. Green allegedly became enraged and left the room, taking the baby with her.
She reportedly took Destiny to the roof on the third floor of the building and threw her onto the concrete pit in the yard.
The police were alerted and Destiny was taken to the hospital.
She died while being treated.
