Dad gets 25 years for daughter in microwave

GALVESTON, Texas (AP) - March 26, 2008 The jury also fined Joshua Mauldin $10,000 in the sentence handed down Wednesday.

Jurors convicted him Tuesday of felony injury to a child. They rejected Mauldin's claims that he was insane when he put his daughter Ana in the microwave.

Prosecutors had wanted Mauldin to be sentenced to the maximum life in prison. His attorneys wanted him sentenced to probation so he could be treated for mental illness.
