Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis announced on Wednesday morning that he has suspended Monique Worrell, State Attorney for the Ninth Judicial Circuit, for dereliction of duty and incompetence.
DeSantis said that Worrell, who was backed by a group tied to Democrat billionaire George Soros, has allowed murderers, other violent offenders, and dangerous drug traffickers to receive extremely reduced sentences and escape the full consequences of their criminal conduct.
The policies and practices mentioned in the executive order that led to her suspension include Avoiding Minimum Mandatory Sentences for Gun Crimes, Avoiding Minimum Mandatory Sentences for Drug Trafficking Offenses, Allowing Juvenile Offenders to Avoid Serious Charges and Incarceration Altogether, Avoiding Valid and Applicable Sentencing Enhancements, Limiting Charges for Child Pornography, and Seeking Withhold of Adjudication in Situations Not Permitted Under Florida Law.
DeSantis’s office listed numerous instances of the “more egregious results of her policies or practices in action.” Some of the examples included:
“Just this past weekend, Worrell was at the center of a major controversy. Daton Viel was arrested in March 2023 for sexual battery on a minor, as well as Lewd and Lascivious Molestation. That arrest was made while Viel was on probation for another offense – that probation began in February 2023. Viel was still let out on bond and thereafter shot two Orlando Police Officers.”
“In November 2022, 17-year-old Lorenzo Larry shot and killed his pregnant girlfriend, De’Shayla Ferguson. Larry had previously been arrested in May 2022 on several charges, including carrying a concealed firearm, possession of a firearm on school property, and criminal possession of a firearm by a minor. But he was released after all these arrests. Worrell’s office did not act on any of these charges until after he killed his girlfriend and their unborn child.”

Good move!
Awesome!
He’s sure to win now! [snicker]
If Presidential Candidate DeSantis was more like Governor DeSantis, this Trump supporter would give DeSantis serious consideration.

********
Didn’t take long for a Trump-only partisan to find something wrong with Desantis’ bold move against Soros.
control, alt, delete. the great 2023 reset. now forging ahead to 2030.
So what’s the deal here? Are we supposed to find something negative to say about anything DeSantis does, even if we like what he did?
That dirty son of a thousand fathers shows up everywhere Democrats are doing bad things.
Now if only we could just deport old Gyorgy boy himself.
...and meanwhile, Trump has come up with another list of nicknames for his political enemies....
Good for him! Keep criminals behind bars!!!!
It’s coming soon I hope.
Smokescreen from DeSantis to try to hide that he’s a deep state stooge. /s
What took him so long to do it OH WAIT election time.
Actually, I'm thinking he had no choice. I think his donors hate Trump so much they told him to run now or they would not back him in the future. They tell him what to say and he dutifully does. And that's why his hasty campaign is such a cluster-frac.
Too bad. He seems to be a good man.
He is doing good in Florida. He should stay there.
Rob seems at his best in FL as Governor.
Fantastic action by Desantis.
