A Texas man has been charged with capital murder in the death of his 3-year-old adopted daughter, who was found to have died from homicidal violence.

Wesley Mathews, 37, who authorities have said admitted to causing the childs death and then hiding her body in October, could face the death penalty or life in prison if found guilty of the charge, the Dallas County District Attorneys Office said Friday.

We have not yet decided if we are going to actually seek death. We do go through a process to make that determination, District Attorney Faith Johnson said at a news conference after a grand jury returned the indictments.
