Irrespective of my choice for governor, please be advised that the attorney general in Florida has no law enforcement duties. He is '' the state's chief legal officer'' but law enforcement is a constitutional duty of the governor and local sheriffs and then the state attorney (the prosecution branch). The attorney general has no line authority to any sheriff or state attorney, they are independent constitutional officers. Thus, attorney general Crist had neither the authority nor the personnel to do anything as you suggest and in which you paint him with fault.

The Florida Attorney General has a Civil Rights Dept. Terri's civil rights were being denied. He took an oath to protect Terri's civil rights but instead, he protected Judge Greer.
