This thread is about DeSantis and Worrell. You really need to work on your basic reading comprehension, dear.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis appears poised to suspend another prosecutor from office, this time zeroing in on how a central Florida state attorney dealt with the 19-year-old man accused of killing three people in Orlando, including a television reporter.

DeSantis has already publicly criticized State Attorney Monique Worrell’s handling of previous prosecutions of the suspect, Keith Moses, who had a record of arrests as a juvenile and was on probation at the time he allegedly went on a shooting spree.

On Tuesday, DeSantis’ general counsel demanded that Worrell turn over emails, reports and documents related to Moses, including his juvenile record.

Authorities charged Moses with killing three people last week, including 24-year-old television reporter Dylan Lyons and a nine-year-old girl. He’s also been charged with attempted murder for allegedly shooting two other people.

DeSantis’ general counsel Ryan Newman, in his letter to Worrell, questioned how Moses was allowed to “remain on the streets after multiple arrests, including one your office has refused to prosecute.” Moses was arrested last November for possession of marijuana, but authorities said his juvenile arrest record includes more serious charges.

“The failure of your office to hold this individual accountable for his actions — despite his extensive criminal history and gang affiliation — may have permitted this dangerous individual to remain on the street,” wrote Newman. “Clearly, Mr. Moses should have never been in a position to commit those senseless crimes of last week.”

Newman added that “as we seek to learn valuable lessons from this heartbreaking event, we must determine if Mr. Moses was enabled by gaps in our sentencing laws that must be corrected, or, to be frank, your office’s failure to properly administer justice.”

Oh, and this....

"Florida’s Constitution gives the governor the power to suspend elected officials for various reasons, including neglect of duty and malfeasance or commission of a felony."

And, he has laid out succinctly in the EO how she has neglected her duty.


Exactly. Crime in Florida will continue to plummet even faster now. It’s already at a 50 year low (FBI).

Go Florida!!!!! Dems can suck it.


But is it really, or is it just a trick of reporting or lack thereof.

I can promise you it's not only "MAGAs" (your words) who are upset and frustrated with the relaxation of consequences for violent, repeat criminals.


then the voters can hold her accountable, see what happened in SF. this guy has removed/suspended two elected prosecutors, both democrats. apparently rising crime is ok when the prosecutor is a republican. These are elected positions and voters should decide


DP. I refer you to this: "The Governor has the authority to suspend a state officer under Article IV, Section 7 of the Florida Constitution." DeSantis is fully within his gubernatorial rights and duties here. He has done nothing illegal or even questionable.


I hope the Dems remember this when they take the governor’s office. It’s not if, but when.

For those who think crime is at a 50-year low in Florida, think again.

Fuss at the FBI. No one cares about Time.


Tou know the FBI use the information provided be the state right. Tell me you know this. Or do you think the FBI produce their own records and data. Lol.

Oh look, one of the brainless MAGAs I was talking about.

It isn't the role of the governor to overturn the will of the voters because his state attorney isn't doing what he wants. This is something that separates us from banana republics run by tin-pot dictators. But apparently, neither DeSantis nor his defenders care. There's no depths they won't plumb as long as some libs somewhere are being owned.


PP here. I'm not even close to being a "MAGA" or brainless. In fact, you would be shocked I'm sure to know who I am and my credentials; but please feel free to insult people who don't agree with you.


"Do you know who I am?"

I can't stand Trump and I absolutely cheer this action. It needs to be repeated across the country. People like the PP, who label everyone they disagree with as "MAGA" are truly the idiots among us.


Really think about this. You REALLY believe it is a good idea to remove elected officials and replace them with the losing side? Why even have elections? Just let Governors and the government decide who gets in where.

We have a process for these things and this is not it. We have to be able to separate agreeing with the idea and the actual execution of it.
This is a really dangerous path to take.


DP here but I assume the pp meant removing prosecutors who aren't doing their job. We're in the middle of a crime epidemic in this country, and it's only getting worse with this liberal nonsense of being soft on crime and allowing open borders.

She doesn't sound like a State Attorney. She sounds like a defense attorney. If she wants to defend criminals, she should go into that line of work.
I applaud DeSantis for doing this. Other State Attorneys better be on notice.... do your job, enforce the law, and prosecute crimes.


I agree and I'm glad to see her go, but I'm concerned that both sides have delved even deeper into partisan politics.


There is NO both sides here. She was duly elected. Her constituents should hold her accountable. I only see politics on one side! If the tables were turned and the Dems removed an R, holy war would break out.


That's not true and you know it. Plus DeSantis has the authority *and the responsibility* to take this action.

Poor Ron Desantis. How could the motivations of Gov. “Slitting throats on Day One” be so misunderstood? I mean, hasn’t he always seemed so impartial, not at all like a demagogue who would make official decisions based on political motives?

No it will shift back. I remember when Florida had democrat governors and senators. Yes it has been a long time, but the time will come. I just hope it’s in my lifetime
