The actual heck just happened here??
A Florida woman was just let off by a judge after pleading insanity. Her crime? Drowning her 15-month-old toddler and stabbing her husband and teenage daughter when they tried to stop her.
Yes, it's apparently legal to drown your toddler if you're stressed due to Covid??
Big news for Casey Anthony wannabes out there!
Here's NBC Miami:
Precious Bland waived her right to a jury trial and instead had a bench trial, where Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Miguel de la O acquitted her of multiple criminal charges, including for the death of her daughter.
During the trial, defense attorney Larry Handfield argued Bland suffered a psychotic episode triggered by COVID-19.
Handfield told NBC6 that Bland was experiencing command hallucinations, with voices telling her to baptize her family members, who were also infected with COVID-19.
I think "waiving" a jury trial may have worked in the defendant's favor this time around.
But for judge de la O, it may have been a major misstep.
Yes, the Attorney General of Florida is drafting articles of impeachment seeking to de-bench this judge.
There may be some justice after all.
