Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier and local lawmakers are seeking to impeach a judge who acquitted a woman on a historic COVID-linked insanity plea.Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Miguel de la O acquitted Precious Bland, who was charged with manslaughter and two counts of attempted murder in the first degree after she allegedly drowned her 15-month-old daughter and stabbed her husband and another child.Bland’s attorneys argued that she suffered a psychotic break caused by COVID-19 and, therefore, was unable to understand the consequences of her actions.According to her defense, Bland was experiencing hallucinations and believed she was being instructed to baptize her family members.During the 2021 incident, Bland was yelling that "Jesus Christ is coming and COVID is going to kill us all," her husband told police, according to a copy of the arrest report obtained by Fox News Digital.STORE OWNER HELD WITHOUT BOND FOR 3 YEARS ACQUITTED OF MURDER IN TEEN'S SHOOTING DEATHJames Uthmeier spoke at the National Conservative Convention on Sept.
