TALLAHASSEE – The Supreme Court of Florida has rejected a bid for reinstatement from State Attorney Monique Worrell, who was suspended from her role last year by Gov. Ron DeSantis.

The body handed down the 6-1 per curiam ruling on June 6, finding that Worrell had not shown that the governor’s justifications for suspending her were too vague or impeded upon her use of prosecutorial discretion.

Worrell served the Ninth Judicial Circuit of Florida, which covers the Orlando metropolitan area in Orange County and Osceola County. Fifteen pages of allegations said her charging practices allowed violent offenders, drug traffickers and pedophiles to avoid jail time.
