DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF News) – A Dallas County judge has set a trial date for the adoptive mother of Sherin Mathews, the Richardson toddler found dead in a culvert in 2017.
Sini Mathews is accused of leaving Sherin home alone the night the three-year-old was reported missing. The judge set Mathews’ trial for April 15th with a pre-trial hearing set for March 15th.
Last week, the judge denied Sini’s attorney’s request for a bond reduction from $100,000 to $2500.
Sini’s trial date about three weeks before her husband, Wesley Mathews’ scheduled trial. He is charged with capital murder in Sherin’s death.
There will be another hearing next week to determine if Wesley’s trial date will stand and if he and Sini will be tried together or separate.
The judge also issued a gag order on the attorneys in both cases.
Both Sini and Mathews appeared in the courtroom today and acknowledged each other in court.
Wesley Mathews was escorted out of the court room first, and made eye contact with Sini. He gave her a head nod, both exchanged smiles. #SherinMathews @WBAP247NEWS @570KLIF
