But Miguel Matias' lawyer is calling for more psychological evaluations. Attorney Roy Schwartz says his client has a history of mental problems. Police say he was institutionalized after trying to set a car on fire with his children inside in Pennsylvania.
The 34-year-old Matias was indicted Tuesday on a murder charge. He is being held at Bellevue Hospital.
Authorities say he told police he throttled his daughter, Ana, with an electrical cord after finding her sending risque messages to a boy. Police say Ana had been visiting Matias but lived in Allentown, Pa., with her mother and two sisters. The parents were separated.
