She 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 pacifier in the microwave at their Sacramento-area home.

Yang’s attorney says her client had an epileptic seizure and didn’t know what she was doing. She has a history of seizures, but paramedics say she wasn’t disoriented when they arrived. She told investigators she blacked out and awoke to find the baby injured next to a space heater.

Yang has three other children.
