ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Video of Jessica Beagley punishing her screaming adopted son with hot sauce and a cold shower first landed the Anchorage mom on "Dr. Phil." Then it landed her in court. On Tuesday, an Anchorage jury decided Beagley's unorthodox parenting was indeed a crime, finding the 36-year-old mother of six guilty of misdemeanor child abuse.

Beagley faces up to a year in prison and a $10,000 fine, with sentencing scheduled for Monday in Anchorage. It took the jury of three men and three women a single day to find the so-called "hot sauce mom" guilty in a case that ignited blustery legal arguments on cable news shows and drew media attention in Russia, where the Beagleys adopted twins in 2008.
