Summary
A judge ruled 38-year-old mom of 6, Precious Bland, was not guilty by reason of insanity, for drowning her 15 month old daughter Emii and then stabbing her husband and teenage daughter. Bland chose a bench trial over a jury trial and there are now calls for the judge who made the ruling to be impeached. The prosecution maintained that Bland’s defense of Covid Psychosis was fabricated, that she was actually upset because she believed her husband was having an affair. We not only discuss this shocking case, but also go into several well documented cases of post covid psychosis which includes people suffering from paranoia, delusions and hallucinations.
