• Worrell was suspended by DeSantis in August 2023 for allegedly not prosecuting crimes aggressively enough.
• The suspension has raised concerns about the extent of gubernatorial power over elected officials.
• Worrell argued that her removal was politically motivated and lacked specific legal grounds.
• The ruling follows a similar case where DeSantis suspended another Democratic prosecutor, Andrew Warren.
• Worrell and her appointed replacement, Andrew Bain, are expected to face off in the upcoming election.
