Bland, who also stabbed her husband and another child, claimed insanity and cited COVID-19 as a factor.The judge allowed Bland to return home before a future hearing, a decision Uthmeier criticizes as unacceptable and risky. Uthmeier emphasizes the need for judicial accountability through impeachment, citing other cases where judges allegedly violated their oath or endangered public safety, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >including releasing convicted child predators<\/a> and allowing defendants who committed heinous acts to go free. He is working with legislators to push for such accountability, aiming to remove judges perceived to be exceeding their authority or acting inappropriately.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Florida Republican Attorney General James Uthmeier is working to impeach a judge who acquitted a woman who pleaded insanity after murdering her baby.<\/p>\n<p>Miguel de la O, a Miami-Dade circuit judge, acquitted Precious Bland after she drowned her 15-month-old in 2021, as well as stabbed her husband and another child, per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/florida-ag-seeks-judges-impeachment-baby-drowning-covid-insanity-acquittal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Bland yelled during the incident that \u201cJesus Christ is coming and COVID is going to kill us all,\u201d her husband told the police.<\/p>\n<p>A police report said \u201cthe defendant insisted that everyone needed to be baptized and that she was going to baptize everyone in the bathtub.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Police found the baby \u201cface down, unresponsive, inside the bathtub filled with bloody water.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The husband and four children ran out of the residence and called the police.<\/p>\n<p>De la O ultimately acquitted Bland on all three counts she was facing \u2014 including one count of manslaughter and two counts of attempted murder in the first degree.<\/p>\n<p>Even worse, De la O allowed Bland to return home before a future hearing that would decide her treatment options.<\/p>\n<p>Uthmeier said in an interview with Fox News that the decision from the judge was \u201cunacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn a bench trial \u2014 where the judge made the decision, not a jury \u2014 he allowed a woman off on an insanity defense after she drowned her baby.
