Father puts daughter in microwave - another good reason to sterilize

[Lucy]

A young US father has been found guilty of badly injuring his infant daughter by putting her in a microwave.

The verdict today means the jurors turned aside 20-year-old Joshua Mauldin's argument that he was insane.

Jurors will now consider evidence on how to sentence him.

He faces anywhere from probation to life in prison.

Mauldin claimed he was going through a psychotic episode when he put two-month-old Ana in a microwave for 10 to 20 seconds in May.

But prosecutors said Mauldin knowingly hurt his daughter because he was angry about being stuck in a loveless marriage.

Ana was badly burned and part of one ear had to be amputated. Officials say Ana is still receiving treatment but is doing well.

The sick fek should be shoved in a microwave for twenty minutes

[miffy]

That is horrific.

I just can't think of anything more sick than that.

Execution is the least he deserves.

[Weltchy]

Execution would be too good for someone like that

Death by microwave. It is just too horrific for words...

Or 16.5 minutes if your microwave is 800w...

The really sick thing about this is that these types of scum-bags will get another chance after they're released, and any unsuspecting partner they end up with won't be told about their past.

Just look at the bulger murderers. Who's to say they're really reformed and not capable of doing something equally as cruel and sick in future? Yet they're as good as anonymous and could well have their own kids by now.

Quite right. As soon as anyone is convicted of any crime, they should be shot immediately. It is totally impossible that anyone could be reformed or rehabilitated. Once a scumbag, always a scumbag.

Don't you think someone's keeping an eye on them?

Personally I like to think they were dropped out of an aeroplane over the Atlantic.

The Bulgers murderers where children. They have been kept away from their families and are having a close eye kept on them. Like Mary Bell if they have any children a very close eye will be kept on them.

This guy is apparently an adult.
