A  judge in a California court imposed the 26-years-to-life sentence on Friday on Ka Yang. Yang was convicted of first-degree murder and assault for putting Mirabelle Thao-Lo in the microwave for up to five minutes in 2011. Prosecutors say the child had fatal thermal injuries. Investigators found the infant’s dummy in the microwave at their Sacramento-area home. Yang’s lawyer said her client had an epileptic seizure and didn’t know what she was doing.

Yang has three other children. Read the original story at: Mother gets life for putting daughter in microwave
