guilty of badly injuring his infant daughter by putting her in a
microwave.
The verdict Tuesday 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 2-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.
