GLENWOOD, Iowa (AP) – A December trial has been scheduled for a southwestern Iowa mother accused of giving her 8-year-old daughter fatal amounts of an antidepressant drug. Mills County court records say 34-year-old Misty Frazier, of Glenwood, has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder, child endangerment and giving prescription drugs to a minor without a prescription. The trial is set to begin Dec. 12th.

Prosecutors say an autopsy showed the girl died of an overdose of the antidepressant amitriptyline, commonly sold under the brand name Elavil.
