An American jury sentenced a young father to 25 years in prison for severely burning his infant daughter after putting her in a microwave and turning it on for 20 seconds. Joshua Mauldin was teary-eyed after hearing the sentence. His mother sobbed loudly.

The jury had convicted Mauldin of felony injury to a child, rejecting his claims that he was insane when he put his daughter Ana in the microwave last year.

Prosecutors had wanted him sentenced to maximum of life in prison. Still, Galveston County prosecutor Xochitl Vandiver said she was satisfied with the sentence.
