DeSantis suspended Worrell this week for “neglecting her duty to faithfully prosecute crime in her jurisdiction.”
The governor’s office stated that the main factors that played into the suspension included Worrell avoiding minimum mandatory sentencing for gun crimes and drug trafficking offenses, while limiting charges for child pornography and ignoring “valid and applicable” sentencing enhancements.
