A man in Texas has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for severely burning his two-month-old daughter in a microwave oven last year. The jury rejected Joshua Mauldin's defence that he was insane when he placed his daughter Ana in the oven. State Prosecutors said that Mauldin had a history of violence, lying about being mentally ill and was having marriage difficulties.
His daughter Ana, who is now 1, suffered second and third-degree burns to her face and left side and required two skin grafts. She also had to have part of her left ear amputated.
