Impeach This Florida Judge Now

This Leon County judge allowed a convicted pedophile to be free on bond who then murdered a 5 year old child — she should be impeached by FL House — NOW!

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier formally called on the Florida House of Representatives to begin impeachment proceedings against Leon County Judge Tiffany Baker-Carper on Tuesday, escalating a high-level push to remove the jurist following the murder of a five-year-old girl.

The demand, delivered in a letter to House Speaker Daniel Perez, follows the signing of “Missy’s Law,” by Gov. Ron DeSantis earlier Tuesday and the governor’s public call for Baker’s removal. The new legislation mandates that defendants convicted of qualifying sexual offenses against minors be immediately remanded to custody while awaiting sentencing.

The push for impeachment centers on the death of five-year-old Missy Mogle. In April 2025, Daniel Spencer was convicted of traveling to engage in unlawful sexual conduct with a child. Despite recommendations from the state attorney to revoke bond, Baker allowed Spencer to remain free pending sentencing. One month later, Spencer murdered Mogle.

“Judge Baker-Carper’s decision to allow Spencer, a convicted child predator, to remain on bond is why Missy is dead today,” Uthmeier wrote in the letter. “This decision wasn’t just disgraceful, reckless, and unthinkable; it rises to the level of a ‘misdemeanor in office.’”

Under Article III of the Florida Constitution, the House of Representatives holds the power to impeach judicial officers for “misdemeanor in office,” a term Uthmeier argued includes acts involving “moral turpitude” or those “contrary to justice.”

The attorney general’s formal request mirrors a blistering call to action issued by DeSantis during a press conference at the FDLE Tampa Bay Regional Operations Center. While signing HB 445, the governor told lawmakers that legislative reform alone was insufficient.

“I don’t think what you’ve done is enough,” DeSantis said. “[The Florida House] has the power and the numbers to impeach this judge. Until you start holding these judges accountable, they are going to continue to find ways to benefit the criminal element.”

Uthmeier echoed those sentiments on social media, labeling the jurist a “radical judge” and stating that the House has a “duty” to hold her accountable to ensure such a tragedy is never repeated.

Impeachment in Florida requires a two-thirds vote in the House to approve charges, followed by a trial and a two-thirds vote for conviction in the Senate.

If successful, Baker would be the first Florida judge impeached in decades.

“My office is ready to assist you,” Uthmeier told Speaker Perez, “to ensure that Judge Baker-Carper never hears another case again.”
