Houston - A jury has sentenced a Texas mother convicted of mutilating her infant by cutting off his genitals to 99 years in prison.

Jurors deliberated for about two hours on Monday before sentencing 28-year-old Katherine Nadal. They chose among possible sentences ranging from probation to life in prison.

The same jury had convicted her last week of first-degree felony injury to a child.

Prosecutors asked for life in prison. Nadal's attorneys did not request any specific sentence but had asked the jury to not punish her out of hate or revenge.

Nadal's defense attorneys said the family dog, a 2,7-3,2kg dachshund, attacked the infant in March 2007, but prosecutors said she was high on drugs when she mutilated her son. -
