Texas man gets life for beating infant
HOUSTON, Nov. 12 (UPI) -- A Texas father has been sentenced to life in prison for breaking almost ever bone in his infant daughter's body.
She survived despite the injuries.
The Houston Chronicle reports 23-year-old Ivan Emmanuel Castaneda maintained his innocence during the sentencing Friday in Houston. He said the mother was the culprit.
Twenty-year-old Donna Marie Norman is awaiting trial on charges she didn't protect her children from the abuse.
The couple's abuse against their two children started before the February incident when hospital officials say their 6-month-old child even had a lacerated tongue as well as broken bones, police said.
Their oldest child suffered a broken leg in 2003, when she was 1-month-old.
Castaneda was originally arrested for that incident but released when Norman told police she dropped the baby on accident.
She testified Friday she didn't drop the baby and lied only because Child Protective Services wanted an explanation for the incident before giving her children back.
Castaneda must serve at least 15 years before being eligible for parole, although it can drop to nine years with good behavior.
Norman's trial begins in February.

A THUG who battered a mum to death with a rock spat at her family yesterday as he was found guilty of murder.
Ben Redfern-Edwards, 21, killed beautician Jacqueline Ross, 44, as she walked her dog Rosie.
Only a few days earlier he had been freed from a Young Offenders' Institution for attempted armed robbery.
Mrs Ross from New Mills, Derbys, suffered "horrific" head injuries and died nine days later.
