DeSantis is 2 for zero in court for removing POS DA's.
The Florida Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Governor DeSantis’s decision to suspend a George Soros-backed state attorney, Monique Worrell, was reasonable based on the allegations Mr. DeSantis made.
Six of the seven justices on the Florida Supreme Court ruled in Mr. DeSantis’s favor. One justice dissented.
Mr. DeSantis alleged that Ms. Worrell, who was state attorney for Orange and Osceola counties in central Florida, avoided issuing the mandatory minimum sentences for gun crimes as well as drug trafficking offenses and that she allowed repeat offenders to avoid jail time.
“The practices and policies of her office have allowed murderers, other violent offenders, and dangerous drug traffickers to receive extremely reduced sentences and escape the full consequences of their conduct,” Mr. DeSantis said when he suspended her in August 2023. “State Attorney Worrell’s practices undermine Florida law and endanger the safety, security and welfare of the communities Ms. Worrell was elected to serve.”
