CBS News reports:
A Miami-Dade judge has found a South Florida mother not guilty by reason of insanity in the death of her 15-month-old daughter, siding with defense attorneys who argued she was suffering from a COVID-related psychotic break at the time of the killing.
The ruling came Tuesday after a two-day bench trial for Precious Bland, who admitted to drowning her baby daughter in a bathtub and attacking her husband and oldest child in 2021.
…
State prosecutors attempted to prove that Bland, a mother of six, killed her toddler because she believed her husband was cheating on her, pointing to statements she allegedly made to investigators.
"It's odd behavior, judge, it is, but it's not legal insanity," State Prosecutor Elizabeth Utset argued during the trial. "The voices and the COVID psychosis are a fabrication and an embellished story."
However, De La O rejected the state's theory.
"That theory doesn't make sense to me that she decided to do all of the things that she did: going to all the neighbors, calling her family members, putting the kids in the water, all of it because she was angry due to some perceived infidelity," De La O said.

As Libs of TikTok mentioned, Florida's attorney general says his office is drafting articles of impeachment against Judge Miguel De La O.
This was a bench trial. It’s time to impeach this judge.

My office will be drafting articles of impeachment, and we look forward to working with all legislators who will support. https://t.co/Pxj9P3fUzS

Time for the Florida House to do its duty. https://t.co/UB2zWrh0lJ

As a former prosecutor (with a prosecutor daughter), what I want to know is why would a prosecutor allow this to be a bench trial? Back in my day, that was signal to the judge that I had a crap case I was stuck with.

Never trust a judge with a verdict.
Clear evidence our criminal justice system is irreparably broken

Judges will stop their destructive "activism" the minute they are held equally accountable for the actions of the criminals they set loose upon society.

This is the way.

Impeach all woke ideologues operating as judges.
Impeach the judge, and then put him in prison.

It would take the Florida state legislature to impeach this judge, and we don't see them getting it done.
