Man Accused Of Burning Baby In Microwave

[Mrs Behavin]

A 19-year-old Arkansas man has been charged with injury to a child after police say his 2-month-old daughter was burned when he placed her in a microwave.

Joshua Mauldin was in the Galveston County jail in Texas early Wednesday. Mauldin, whose bond is set at $250,000, is set to go before a grand jury today.

He faces a charge of injury to a child, causing serious bodily harm. The charge carries a possible prison term of five to 99 years, as well as a fine of up to $10,000.

Doctors treated third-degree burns the infant suffered to the left side of her face and left hand. Maudlin arrived at a Galveston hotel last week along with the baby, his wife and mother. He called 911 on Thursday, saying that his baby had been burned in the hotel room when he tripped while carrying a pot of hot water to make coffee.

[GuesSAngel]

[Reaver]

[jbarroqueiro]

What I would do, Tie a rope around is Ball Sack and send him out the 10th floor window....

 

[Charmer]

This part I don't understand:

The charge carries a possible prison term of five to 99 years


5 to 99? 94 years difference! I'd give him the 99, so at least if they knocked any years off, he'd be in there awhile. If he gets 5 years, they might even reduce it to a fine and time served. WTF?!!:confused

 

[HottyToddyChick]

some people are so sick! *in shock*

 

[Mrs Behavin]

there's your explanation.

What does him being from Arkansas have to do with it? There are millions of psychos everywhere in the United States

 

[drb]

i thought we had the safe haven law to avoid crap like this. wtf is wrong with people?

 

[Boomer]

I would glue broken glass and metal scraps to the walls inside of a moving truck. Then throw him back there naked and start doin donuts untill he is in a liquid state.

 

[BreakfastSurreal]

i figured out the problem! He was in Galveston! This is the 2nd or 3rd time in as many years people have been arrested in Galveston County for putting babies in microwaves! There is something in the water down there folks

 

[Dodge_Sniper]

Damn, that guy is twisted.

-Resists urge to make a really bad joke-

Put his ass in the electric chair and see how much he likes it....

Forget the electric chair, we should have a public execution. Hanging or Guillotine?

Most shocking thread title ever? Possibly.

The only reason I could think of a 94 year difference is... well really, when was the last time someone passed a law specifically about putting a baby in a microwave. Here's hoping they throw the book at this sick fuck.

 

[hhayes]
