Judge Tiffany Baker-Carper

Florida state leaders are moving to IMPEACH a judge accused of enabling a horrific child murder, after releasing a convicted sex offender back into the community.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has formally called on the Florida House to begin impeachment proceedings against Leon County Circuit Judge Tiffany Baker-Carper following the tragic killing of 5-year-old Missy Mogle.

The move comes just hours after Governor Ron DeSantis signed “Missy’s Law,” a sweeping reform designed to END the dangerous practice of releasing convicted criminals before sentencing.

The legislation, signed Tuesday in Tampa, is named after Melissa “Missy” Mogle, a child whose life was cut tragically short by a monster who should have been behind bars.

The facts of the case are as gut-wrenching as they are infuriating. Missy’s stepfather, Daniel Spencer, was already a “big-time scumbag” in the eyes of the law.

In April 2025, a jury found Spencer guilty of traveling to meet a minor for sex, a serious felony. Despite this conviction, and despite the desperate pleas of prosecutors who warned that Spencer was a danger to the community, Judge Tiffany Baker-Carper refused to revoke his bond.

She ignored the warnings. She ignored the victim’s safety. She chose to put a convicted pedophile back on the streets—and right back into the home with Missy.

One month later, while out on the bond granted by Baker-Carper, Spencer allegedly murdered 5-year-old Missy by asphyxiation. Evidence later revealed horrific videos of Spencer physically abusing the child, binding her hands and feet, and smothering her with pillows.

Ron DeSantis: “And so, Missy’s Law—House Bill 445—what it does, and this shouldn’t even be an issue… So, you have somebody that’s convicted of a crime—a serious crime. A lot of times, the judge will remand them to custody, then they do a sentencing, and then the judge administers the sentence.

But you don’t release the convict just because you haven’t done sentencing yet.

Now, there are some court systems where they sentence you immediately after conviction. That’s not how it’s done. I know in the military that’s what you do, but that’s not necessarily how it’s done in civil courts throughout the United States.

So, if you have somebody convicted of a serious crime, revoke their bail. Send them to jail, knowing that they’re going to get a sentence of imprisonment—probably very lengthy, anyway.

And I think most judges in Florida get that and have done it—but not all of them.

So, the situation with Missy: she’s got this stepfather—big-time scumbag. He was convicted. First of all, he was abusing Missy. She’s like five years old—doing all that really, really bad stuff that was going on in the home.

But then he gets convicted of trying to meet a 15-year-old for sex.

And so, he gets brought up on charges. He’s out on bail, then he gets convicted. And so this judge—what’s the judge’s name? Judge Tiffany Baker, up in Leon County—he was convicted of attempting against a minor. That’s a felony. That’s a serious offense.

And the prosecutors went to her. They said, “Judge, this is a dangerous individual. You need to revoke the bail. Please revoke the bail.”

And she refused to do that. She put him out on bail pending sentencing.

And what happened between that decision and the time he was sentenced?

He murdered Missy.

Totally preventable. A miscarriage of justice. A dereliction of judicial duty.

So what this bill does is make sure that these types of sexual offenses mean that a judge must remand the convicted defendant to custody.”

WATCH:

In a blistering letter sent to House Speaker Danny Perez, Attorney General James Uthmeier formally called for the House to begin impeachment proceedings against Judge Baker-Carper for “misdemeanor in office.”

Uthmeier wrote on X:

“Judge Tiffany Baker refused to revoke the bond of a convicted pedophile, leading to the murder of Missy Mogle. The Florida House has a duty to hold Judge Baker accountable. I sent a letter to Speaker Perez calling for him to begin impeachment proceedings. Radical judges must not be allowed to endanger our kids.”
