Man gets 25 years for microwaving baby
Joshua Mauldin severely burned his daughter in a microwave. Ana suffered second and third degree burns to her left ear, cheek, hand and shoulder and has to have several skin grafts. Part of her left ear had to be amputated. Mauldin, 20, was deliberated for 6 and half hours for over two days. They also fined him $10,000. Mauldin had he put his then-2-month-old daughter in a Galveston hotel-room microwave and turned it on for 10 to 20 seconds. They convicted him Tuesday of felony injury to a child. Just before putting her in the microwave in May 2007, Mauldin had punched Ana and placed her in the room's safe and refrigerator. Sam Cammack III, Mauldin's attorney, asked jurors to think about his client's long history of mental illness and sentence him to probation so he could be treated at a hospital. Prosecutors said Mauldin hurt his daughter because he was angry that he was in a loveless marriage and he didn't want to take care of the infant. They also said Mauldin had a history of violence and of lying about being mentally ill to get out of trouble. Mauldin at first told police his daughter had been severely sunburned later he said that he had accidentally spilled hot water on her while making coffee.
Opinion:
I think that this is insane. I think that this guy should also be burned alive in a microwave, he should suffer like his daughter. He should be killed in a microwave. Putting him in prison for 25 years is not enough!!! It seems that he would not have enough punishment just by being put in prison for 25 years, he should be put in rehab but in prison and then die in prison. Sorry but that is not opinion.

Police: Iowa City mom, kids were beaten to death
Autopsies show that five members of an Iowa City family were found dead in their home were beaten to death. Police believe former bank executive Steven Sueppel killed his wife and children on Sunday night or Monday. He had been charged with embezzlement, and his body was found in the wreckage of a car crash on Monday morning. Investigators believe he killed his wife then tried to kill himself and the children by asphyxiating them with carbon monoxide in the garage. When that failed he killed the children one by one in the house. Police identified the children as Ethan, 10; Seth, 8; Mira, 5; and Eleanor, 3. Their bodies were found throughout the home. Two were in upstairs bedrooms, one in a basement bedroom and another in a basement toy room. Sheryl's body was found in the master bedroom. Two baseball bats were found and they might have been used in the killings.
Opinion:
I think this guy is a maniac. I'm glad that this guy died, he deserved it. I cant believe that husbands kill their wives simply becasue they have issues.
