Wesley Mathews, who was convicted of fatally injuring his adopted daughter Sherin Mathews and is currently serving a life sentence, will continue to do so, a judge has ruled.
KRLD NewsRadio 1080 reported that the murder conviction and life sentence have been upheld for the Richardson, Texas-based man.
After Mathews pleaded guilty to the Oct. 7, 2017 murder of 3-year-old Sherin, a jury sentenced him to life in prison in 2019. In September 2019, he was denied a new trial.
The Indian American father admitted that he watched Sherin choke on her milk at about 3 a.m. that morning, then â after determining she had died â placed her body in a garbage bag and hid it in a culvert about a half mile away from the Mathews Richardson, Texas home.
