Jury believes man not insane when he burned infant in microwave
By JUAN A. LOZANO Associated Press Writer

GALVESTON, Texas -- A jury on Tuesday rejected a man's claim that he was insane when he put his infant daughter in a microwave and turned it on for up to 20 seconds.

Jurors found 20-year-old Joshua Mauldin guilty of felony injury to a child. The jury's decision came after about four hours of deliberations, which began Monday afternoon.

Mauldin showed no reaction when the verdict was read.

Jurors will now begin the punishment phase of Mauldin's trial before deciding on a sentence. He faces anywhere from probation to life in prison.

Mauldin said he was having a psychotic episode when he put his daughter in a Galveston hotel microwave for 10 to 20 seconds in May. Just before that, he had punched the baby and put her in the hotel-room safe and refrigerator.

He had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, which the state defines as a severe mental illness that prevents someone who is committing a crime from knowing that it is wrong.

Prosecutors and Mauldin's defense attorney, Sam Cammack III, had no immediate comment after the verdict.

Cammack told jurors during closing arguments Monday that mental illness was probably the only explanation for his client's actions.

But prosecutors countered that Mauldin was driven by anger when he injured his then 2-month-old daughter Ana.

During his closing arguments, Cammack told jurors that, "Joshua Mauldin has been somebody with mental illness from the time he was 10 years old until the time this offense was committed."

However, Galveston County prosecutor Xochitl Vandiver told jurors there was no proof Mauldin was insane when he hurt his daughter. A psychiatrist testified he could not conclude Mauldin was insane at the time of the crime.

"All (Mauldin) has done is try to wrap himself in some psychiatric flag and say, 'I did it and I was crazy,'" Vandiver told jurors. "That's what he's trying to pull on you all. Don't fall for it because it is a lie."

She said Mauldin was angry that he was in a loveless marriage and was stuck in a new town with a baby he didn't want to take care of anymore and took out his frustration on his daughter. When Ana was injured, Mauldin had just moved to Galveston, about 50 miles southeast of Houston, from Warren, Ark., to become a preacher.

"He knowingly hurt that baby because he was angry with her," Vandiver said.

But Cammack said Mauldin was a loving father who tried to run into traffic and kill himself after realizing what had happened.

Cammack said Ana might have been accidentally burned by scalding hot water as her father claimed and initial evaluations by doctors suggested.

But Vandiver said that Mauldin has a history of lying, including about being mentally ill, to get out of trouble. He initially claimed his daughter was severely sunburned.

Ana suffered second- and third-degree burns to her left ear, cheek, hand and shoulder and required two skin grafts. Part of her left ear had to be amputated.

Officials say Ana, now 1, is still receiving treatment but is doing well and living with relatives in Texas.

Exactly what difference does it make if you're insane or not? If insanity didn't stop you from commiting a crime, then I don't see why it should be considered a mitigating circumstance. The laws should read thus: "if you break a rule, you face the consequences," with none of this riduculous "but it was in the heat of the moment," "I'm only fifteen," or "but the white man dun hurt my grandpappy's grandpappy" nonsense. If we're not willing to properly restrain those who are not capable of making their own choices, we should do the humane thing and put them down.

So all of you people are saying that this is a sane man? You're just reacting to the horror of "baby in microwave".

Anybody who commits a crime like that is insane. I'm not saying he shouldn't be locked up, but how they hell could a court say that this dude was not insane?
---------------
Your definition of insanity, based on emotion, does not match that of the law. The law says you must not know right from wrong to be insane. By your opinion, Hitler et al were insane. Not true. They tried to run and hide because they KNEW what they were doing was wrong.

-------------------------

My definition is based on emotion? It's the complete opposite. It's based on sense. I don't base my views on the law.

In my opinion Hitler WAS insane. The semantics of this argument are so stupid. I honestly don't care if you call him insane or evil or what. The fact of the matter is, his way of thinking was dangerously warped. He was executing a premeditated plan that he thought was the best thing to do. There is no solid evidence to suggest that he knew what he was doing was "wrong". If you think "insane" should be reserved for some other type of person, then that's up to you. But Hitler and this microwaved baby guy have something seriously dangerous going on in their respective brains. Anybody like that is probably beyond punishment. The first priority is to get those kinds of people locked away from society. Whether or not they can be treated medically or psychologically is not something either of us knows enough about.

Liberal Christianity. I hold many of the conservative beliefs, including the core Gospel, but don't believe the Bible should be taken entirely literally. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Christianity for a detailed explanation.)

That being said, I believe that resolves any potential conflict you were seeking to stir up from the two comments you posted.

---

It just seems like sometimes you put on the badge of "Christian" when it suits your position in a reply, and sometimes you take it off to claim you're this Christian/Buddhist/ethical conglomerate that doesn't identify himself with a label.

So, I was curious. Thanks for the reply.

I'm sure indoninja would appreciate a reply on his request for enlightenment, and Sacrilicious would like a response to her question about your experience with the occult in relation to your claims.
---------------

Most christians are liberal christians. They may not say it, openly define themselves as such or be familiar with the term even, but unless you are a dogmatic follower of catholocism or a believer in everything in the bible being the truth(which most "christians" aren't) you are a "liberal christian". I think it is common enough it can lose the "liberal" tag, and just not be associated with a particular school of christianity.

I hate the title "liberal christian" because most of the contemporary writers on the subject are complete commie asshats that see the west or modern civilization as evil.
=============================

Indo speaks the truth. Usually I just call my faith "Christian" and leave it at that, but I felt the clarification was needed in pique to Orgasmatron's inquiry. O-man - I have always considered my core faith to be Christian, the other stuff you link to I was speaking of as more of ethical/moral principles that I try to abide by in my personal life in addition to the Christian ones, but I don't consider Buddha or any other religious figures to be "God". I also generally don't make a big stink about being Christian around here because the majority of users are clearly agnostic/atheist, and I try not to shove my faith down people's throats. But in the case of this post I was merely making a point about causes of perceived insanity, and felt it was pertinent.

Ughhhhh I wonder what prison this guy'll end up in? I know some columbians doing time in good ol' texas who'd have a merry time of finding out much of his own penis this guy could be forced to eat before he threw up, at which point he would probably be beaten close to death, set on fire, or both...


Someone said something about not thinking other inmates care what someone else is in for? For most any crime, that's true, but most of those guys have their own kids, and despite evidence that their moral code is somewhat looser than that generally accepted by society, they do HAVE a moral code, and people who hurt kiddies (as demonstrated by the reaction to this story by even the majority of THIS place) make just about anybody's blood boil. I personally find this a wonderful solution to the fact that there's no *legal* way to ensure that people like this guy recieve the consequences they actually deserve; I mean, the guy put a helpless infant, his own baby girl, into a microwave and turned it on. I don't think there's a punishment for that that should qualify as "cruel and unusual," in fact, I'm not even sure there's one harsh enough to be considered adequete retribution. Death, at least death that doesn't take a long time and hurt a lot, is too good for this fucker.

Damn, this is horrible.


On a side note. I have a friend who is a med student, he is not religious and cirtainly not impressionable. He did a lot of aid work around Africa. When I tried to talk to him about some of the religious practices out there, he wouldn't talk about a alot of it. Apparently he doesn't feel it reasonble to pass comment or talk about some things he had whitnessed that he simply could not explain at all. He spent a while questioning his own sanity. Demonic possession is something that this guy would have argued to the death that it doesn't exsist. He is now awfully quiet on the subject and wont even go into a church for a wedding.

I however have seen nothing to suggest it is real and I would concider him a very reliale sourse, who now will not say it is real or it is not.

Mah, not sure I would really want to know for sure either way.

Sorry, burbling. I'll be quiet now.

Wasn't there another story a few months ago about a couple who microwaved their baby to try and clear up its chest congestion? And ended up baking all its organs? I can't find a link for that one, but here's a similar case: http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/01/28/baby.microwave.ap/index.html

It's obviously a growing problem. What they need to do is pass a law requiring every microwave oven to have a label on it that says, "DO NOT PLACE BABY IN MICROWAVE." And a picture of a baby inside a red circle with a slash. That'll fix things.

It's a baby. Its value is not intrinsic, as it does not have the capacity for rational self-reflection. Its value derives from the emotions and ambitions of the people emotionally invested in it.

People that think a baby's life is worth anything other than the feelings of its parents are wrong.

As a psych student, you know as well as I do that biochemical imbalances are not the root cause of all forms of mental illnesses, so it just really boils down to speculation and personal belief as to why things like some personality disorders occur that don't necessarily have an irrefutable biochemical cause.

---

True about the assumption that all mental illness are not caused by biochemical imbalances only.

But personality disorders usually can be traced to dysfunctional environments as they start forming during childhood.

Things like PTSD are the result of extraordinary traumatic events.

Now there have been cases where an individual believes they are possessed and become 'cured' when an exorcism is performed, but often when you examine their background, you find that their belief structure is rooted in a belief in the supernatrual. That and throw in a highly suggestible nature so that when a life event occurs that they have trouble cognitively processing, you may find an individual who believes a spirit in control of them is the cause of their distress. When a spiritual authority figure (say a priest) comes along and performs an exorcism ritual, they experience relief because they believe the ritual drives out the spirit.

Have there ever been cases of Atheists or Agnostics believing they were possessed?

If an Atheist and a Pentacostal Christian (for instance) suffer a psychotic episode, I would argue that each would have a very different subjective experience of their symptoms based on their belief structures
===============
At my seriously advanced age, I can say I've taken courses and done major reading on a variety of subjects.

Bottom line: Everything that happens in the world isn't covered in the classroom. There is too much anecdotal evidence concerning possession to totally discount it. Whomever does is a fool of the greatest magnitude. Not a personal slam at you, just stating a fact.

Yeah. Hot Willie says one thing, and, when called to explain, gives a bullshit "cool" sounding answer. Just like an ex-cop who pretends to know what goes on in prison society with ol' Charlie.

Thorns,

There are times when you stand under the umbrella of Christianity
http://www.ubersite.com/m/115761#2677477

and there are times when you don't.

Just curious...which is it?

As a psych student, you know as well as I do that biochemical imbalances are not the root cause of all forms of mental illnesses, so it just really boils down to speculation and personal belief as to why things like some personality disorders occur that don't necessarily have an irrefutable biochemical cause.

---

True about the assumption that all mental illness are not caused by biochemical imbalances only.

But personality disorders usually can be traced to dysfunctional environments as they start forming during childhood.

Things like PTSD are the result of extraordinary traumatic events.

Now there have been cases where an individual believes they are possessed and become 'cured' when an exorcism is performed, but often when you examine their background, you find that their belief structure is rooted in a belief in the supernatrual. That and throw in a highly suggestible nature so that when a life event occurs that they have trouble cognitively processing, you may find an individual who believes a spirit in control of them is the cause of their distress. When a spiritual authority figure (say a priest) comes along and performs an exorcism ritual, they experience relief because they believe the ritual drives out the spirit.

Have there ever been cases of Atheists or Agnostics believing they were possessed?

If an Atheist and a Pentacostal Christian (for instance) suffer a psychotic episode, I would argue that each would have a very different subjective experience of their symptoms based on their belief structures.

Also you shouldn't discount the fact that 6.6 billion people are not all going to conform to what the majority have deemed 'acceptable behavior'. If we truly do have free will, then it stands to reason that some people will see the world differently and act accordingly. Our society has been constructed, don't forget.

Or simply the unknown intricacies of the human mind.

Or the specific infinite range of experiences of that particular individual.

Or it could just be alien experimentation.

I put 'possession' pretty far down on the list... I don't discount it, however, I just find it suspiciously convenient for you Christian types.

It isn't wasted breath. Finding people dumb enough to believe in possession is funny enough but to find those deluded enough to believe it has happened to me is a friggin gold mine.

Please enlighten us.

However I think you and I know you are just making shit up. You aren't dumb enough to really believe in posession, you are just dumb enough to think talking about dabbling in the "dark arts" and having stories of possession makes you e-cool. If you believed for a second it was true you would be telling your story as a cautionary tail to others.

OK..but with all due respect, you were responding to a comment about '2000 years', so I assumed it came from a Christian perspective/in defense of your faith..so what would your experiences with the occult have to do with that? I assumed you were referring to demonic possession as defined by certain sects of Christianity. I guess you meant possession in regard to your occult experiences- but neither definition of demon possession is necessarily synonomous with a Christian belief, so I was a bit confused.

So all of you people are saying that this is a sane man? You're just reacting to the horror of "baby in microwave".

Anybody who commits a crime like that is insane. I'm not saying he shouldn't be locked up, but how they hell could a court say that this dude was not insane?
================================================================

Because the legal definition of "insane" is pretty much limited to whether or not a person knew right from wrong--or whether or not they knew their actions were illegal--at the time the crime was committed. "Insanity" in the legal realm is much more tightly defined than it is in the mental illness/mental health realm.

Anyway, this guy doesn't appear to have been so crazy that he wasn't able to come up with a lie about how the baby got burned, and that's why the not-guilty/insanity plea didn't fly (in addition to his apparent history of claiming mental illness to get out of trouble).

That's interesting Thorns because people with ASPD do know the difference between right and wrong, they just don't give a shit. They think rules, laws, and mores, don't apply to them. It's hard to imagine defining ASPD as being insane.

A person who is "insane" (which is a legal term, not a psychological one) should not know what they're doing at the time of the crime is wrong. Such as a Schizophrenic who believes that the devil has possessed his/her baby and the only way to drive him out would be to do....whatever. Or that they heard the voice of God who commanded them to....whatever.

Your definition of insanity, based on emotion, does not match that of the law. The law says you must not know right from wrong to be insane. By your opinion, Hitler et al were insane. Not true. They tried to run and hide because they KNEW what they were doing was wrong.

I am awestruck at the level and amount of abuse that the children of this country endure to this day. Blame it on a failing society or an obsolete "protective" service administration. It seems that everyday I have to endure a story about an atrocity being done to a child.

And this shitheel was going to be a PREACHER. Fuck. Just...FUCK.

Why is it this county will make a big stink about a child being aborted, but turn a blind eye to the ones living in horror? Nobody wants to support the poor and hungry. Nobody wants to pay more taxes to better education and healthcare. The majority of this country have a "Fuck 'em, let them take care of themselves" attitude.

I understand that adults abuse the system, but the kids are innocent. We should demand free healthcare for the children. It should be as much as a right as their education. At 18 years old cut them off, but don't make them suffer while they can't do something about it.

For a nation that is compelled to declare itself Christian, you sure don't act like it.

Finally, the fact that we put so much emphasis on strangers sexually abusing kids disgusts me. The fact is 95% of children that are abused are done so by family members and friends.

But, fuck them, right? Not your kid, not your problem.

Insanity is currently clinically defined as antisocial personality disorder. This guy doesn't meet all of the diagnostic criteria for that. (DSM-IV, 301.7 for anyone who cares to learn more about it.)

I'd say he's more of a psychopath (sane but amoral) than a psychotic (insane but harmless). Either that or spiritually possessed. Both situations can yield similar behaviors like these.

So all of you people are saying that this is a sane man? You're just reacting to the horror of "baby in microwave".

Anybody who commits a crime like that is insane. I'm not saying he shouldn't be locked up, but how they hell could a court say that this dude was not insane?

=========

by definition he is not 'insane' unless he's mic'd a few brats

------------------
They didn't say what he did was sane. They rejected his not-guilty-by-reason-of-insanity plea. In other words, they adjudicated him fit to stand trial and answer for what he did.

I'd like someone from prison, not a stint at county, to confirm everyone else's remarks about kiddie touchers being hated in prison. I mean sure I've seen OZ but as far as hard core criminals go its hard to imagine psychopaths giving a rats fuck why another dude is in jail.

Maybe so. But I think daily anal rape continuing for years and years, while not exactly an eye for an eye, is still an appropriate consequence.

Prison inmates do not take kindly to child rapists/murderers/attempted-murderers. Homosexual rape and beating people to death are ok, but harming a child is still beyond the pale in the convict code of ethics. This person will get what's coming to him.

Now that his plea was rejected, he'll go to prison, probably for life, where the other inmates will dispense their own brand of justice.

Well, thank goodness his insanity plea was rejected. And thank goodness the baby lived.

It's amusing how many people will try to plead insanity for their crimes because "insanity" is a difficult thing to prove. It depends on several factors, including which standard is used (McNaughton, The Insanity Defense Reform Act, etc).
