Florida Supreme Court Hears Case on DeSantis's Suspension of State Attorney Monique Worrell

Worrell's attorney argues the governor exceeded his constitutional authority, while DeSantis's lawyer claims Worrell was ineffective at prosecuting crime.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis suspended State Attorney Monique Worrell, alleging she neglected her prosecutorial duties.
Worrell's attorney argued in the Florida Supreme Court that DeSantis exceeded his constitutional authority with the suspension.
DeSantis's lawyer argued that Worrell's record on prison admission was 'abysmal' and that she was ineffective at prosecuting crime.
Worrell was the second prosecutor DeSantis removed from office over political disagreements.
The suspensions are seen as part of DeSantis's effort to remake the state's criminal justice system to his political advantage.
