Man jailed for microwaving baby

A jury in Texas has sentenced a man 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.

Prosecutors said Mauldin had a history of violence, lying about being mentally ill and was angry about his marriage.

Ana, now aged one, suffered second and third-degree burns to her face and left side and required two skin grafts.

Part of her left ear had to be amputated.

Her foster mother, Heather Croxton, told the court of the painful daily treatments Ana has had to undergo since being left in the microwave for up to 20 seconds.

"There is no excuse for your actions and I hate that one day you will be set free and allowed to move on with your life while Ana continues to pay for your actions," she said.

Mauldin's lawyer, Sam Cammack, said his client would not get the treatment he needs for mental illness in prison.

    That is so horrible…. I have three kids myself and I could never imagine something like that ever happening to them. You have to really be a monster to do something like that. I hope that everyday that his is in prison he is tormented by others in there, making it so hard for him to go another day. 25 years isn't long enough. Just being able to set there isn't enough punishment for what he did. I hope Karma gets him in prison. People like that don't deserve to live.

    Im from Conroe,Tx which is about an hour north of Galveston, where this took place. It saddens me to see such horrible things happen so close to home. But the even sadder part is that within the past year an a half there has been a total of 3 baby incidents. The other 2 babies were found dead on galvestone shore. one was still fastend in his carseat. What has this world come to???

    evil? who isn't evil anymore?
    Earth needs to be reclaimed by good, and yet though we know in our hearts what that means (don't judge, hep others, etc) we continuously choose the path of hurt and pain and wrong. mankind is evil. rising above that in our hearts is what makes us truly human.

    This is so disturbing…I just wish everyone who left comments here would write to congress and demand that animals that hurt/molest/kill/abuse children are punished severly and not let out of prisions. I really do belive 25 years and he will not serve all of this is unjust to this baby and all of the children. We need to protect our children. What a better country we would live in if you all would stand up and write to congress and DEMAND protection for our children. This type of EVIL can not be changed in someone they are evil just plain and simple. We need to YELL and DEMAND stricter laws…Children have been suffering to long, they have no voice because they do not vote these assholes into office. We have the voice to do something…I am are you?

    Listen people, there are 2 sides to every story. I heard the baby had it coming. Always pissing on the floor, crying about nothing, spitting up his food. Shit man, you can only take that type of behavior for so long until you need to exact a little discipline. Lighten up everybody, he was only in there for 20 seconds and was probably on defrost. Sheesh.

    This is not the first time this has happened. I also read a story not to long ago about a woman doing this to her baby as well then she went to sleep on the couch pretending she had no idea how the baby got in the microwave when her boyfriend got home.
    I think these people are very sick! I don't understand how someone can do something so heartless. If a person was mentaly ill and did it they need some serious help (I am not saying that it is ok if they are mentaly ill I just think they need serious help and not jail time)
    If the person was fully aware of what they were doing they should fry themselves. I am sorry I know it may sound bad to say it but I feel like it is an eye for an eye type situation.

    hey all of you idiots that post about Texas being backwards…..you stupid fucks this guys is not a Texan, he is from Arkansas and was only in Texas for a few months. Also, I agree with the other posts stating that if this would have happened in the 9th circus (CA) this sick son of a bitch would have been given 100 hours of community service because of the left-wing nutjobs that live there. Now liberals want this guy to fry in the electric chair, imagine that a liberal flip-flopping on a topic!! Left-wing nutjobs!! One more thing, Texas prisons are some of the roughest around and one thing inmates hate are baby abusers….this sorry sack of shit will pay for what he did….I can almost guarantee it!

    Wow, that's horrible. Not to mention the damage that the microwaves must have done on that poor baby's brain cells, can you imagine the pain of having your brain cooked?? Aweful.
    But not giving this man mental treatment is a bit insane, he should definitely get medical attention. Not for his sake, but for the sake of society. We should make sure that he doesn't do anything like this again once he gets out of prison. Letting crazy people rut in a cell for 25 years and then letting them out without any sort of treatment is only a ticking bomb.

    what a ill and sick man! regardless of what excuse he gave that sentance should not just be giving 25 years! this is why the cout justice must realize anyone can claim that there insane and if thats the case why release him, but i figure let him go to jail and tell his inmates the act he committed i hope they treat him in a manner when he is released he wishes he was dead!

I pray for her and I hope that the man burns in fucking hell. 25 years is NOT enough for this type of ABUSE. I hope his jail inmates fuck him up real bad!

    This questions me about our judicial system. We were talking about Texas death penalty today in my intro to criminal justice class. It's very common in Texas that they give the death penalty to those who murder people, and they don't give a fuck. That's why they say don't mess with Texas. Yet, with a man who should be legally insane and created an attempt murder on an infant should for sure face life sentence or the death penalty. That is just cruel!

She died. Child Services rescued the little brother,3, also kept in a wooden box. I know his new carer. Kid is screwed. 6yrs on and he still doesn't trust her…
