A man who fatally stabbed his own baby and another man and wounded two others during a jealous rage last year was sentenced to life in prison Friday, with no chance of parole for 60 years.

Ruben Garcia, 21, was charged in the Jan. 23, 2015, attacks and later pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree intentional homicide, but sought to be found legally not responsible due to mental illness.

A jury in January found that Garcia suffered from a mental disease or defect, but that it did not prevent him from appreciating the wrongfulness of his actions, or conforming his actions to the law.
