The Florida Supreme Court has ruled against the elected prosecutor, Monique H. Worrell, in a challenge to her suspension from office by the state's governor, citing neglect of duty and incompetence.
DeSantis' executive order alleged that Worrell's policies led to fewer mandatory minimum sentences for gun crimes, drug trafficking, and less juvenile incarceration, not falling under prosecutorial discretion.
The Florida Supreme Court stated that a suspension order doesn't infringe on prosecutorial discretion if generalized policies have led to categorical enforcement practices.
