Father Puts Baby in Microwave

News out of Galveston,Texas, said that a young father was convicted Tuesday of badly injuring his infant daughter by putting her in a microwave. I guess he tried to claim insanity but the jurors rejected his claim that he was insane at the time. The jury deliberated for about four hours before finding Joshua Mauldin, age 20, guilty of felony injury to a child. Then once the verdict was reached, the jurors heard testimony in the punishment phase of the trial. They went 2 1/2 hours without a decision and resumed deliberating today. He faces anything from probation to life in prison. I think probation would definitely be too little. It seems to me it was more like attempted murder of the child. People are going nuts these days. Anymore you hear of someone being murdered every day and whole families at times.
