A Miami woman was acquitted after claiming COVID-19 caused her to drown her infant and stab her husband and other daughter.
Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Miguel de la O acquitted Precious Bland on reason of insanity last Tuesday, NBC6 reported Wednesday. Her attorney said during the bench trial that a psychotic episode triggered by COVID-19 was responsible for the fatal incident that occurred at her home on Aug. 23, 2021.
“Jesus Christ is coming and COVID is going to kill us all,” she began telling family members the night of the incident before insisting to baptize them, according to a police report, NBC6 reported.
