She Put 'Communities In Danger': Gov. DeSantis Takes Action To Hold Soros-Funded Attorney Responsible For Letting Criminals Run Free

On Wednesday, Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) announced that his office has officially stepped in to appoint Judge Andrew Bain to replace Soros-backed 9th Circuit State Attorney Monique Worrell (D) from her post after her repeated neglect to enforce crime.

"I am appointing Judge Andrew Bain to step in and take over the duties of the State Attorney’s Office in the 9th Circuit," Gov. DeSantis wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "The people of Central Florida deserve a State Attorney that will prosecute criminals and keep our communities safe."

The governor explained that criminals have been on the loose thanks to Worrell's lack of enforcement explaining that her actions are putting "communities in danger and victimizes innocent Floridians."

"Monique Worrell's administration of criminal justice in the 9th Circuit has been clearly and fundamentally derelict so as to constitute both neglect of duty and incompetence," DeSantis explained, adding that she avoids minimum mandatory sentences for gun crimes, drug trafficking offenses, as well as avoiding charging juvenile defenders with serious charges, limiting charges for child pornography, and various other reasons.

Given Worrell's various efforts to not enforce the law, Will Chamberlain, a DeSantis staffer, explored her various dereliction of duty in recent years.

"Daton Viel was arrested in March 2023 for sexual battery on a minor, as well as Lewd and Lascivious Molestation. That arrest was made while Viel was on probation for another offense. Viel was still let out on bond," Chamberlain explained. "This past weekend, Viel shot two Orlando Police Officers."

"In November 2022, 17-year-old Lorenzo Larry shot and killed his pregnant girlfriend, De’Shayla Ferguson," he continued. "Larry had previously been arrested in May 2022 for carrying a concealed firearm, possession of a firearm on school property, and criminal possession of a firearm by a minor."

"Mr. Larry was released after all these arrests," the DeSantis staffer continued. "Worrell’s office did not act on any of these charges until *after* he killed his girlfriend and their unborn child."

"In 2018, Jasir Dopson invaded a home in Orange County and robbed the occupants at gunpoint. He was charged with multiple counts of armed burglary with a firearm, robbery with a firearm, and false imprisonment, carrying a 10-year mandatory minimum and a maximum of life in prison," Chamberlain continued, adding, "After Worrell took office in 2021, she declined to prosecute five charges and had adjudication withheld on those remaining. Dopson is not considered a convicted felon and can still legally possess a gun. Dopson was sentenced as a juvenile and received only 51 weeks of jail time."

Chamberlain went on to recount various other instances in which Worrell refused to properly carry out the law. In response to DeSantis's decision to hold the Democrat state attorney accountable, she said that the governor's action was a threat to democracy.

“If we are mourning anything this morning, it’s the loss of democracy," she said following the news. "I am your duly elected State Attorney and nothing done by a weak dictator can change that.”

Governor DeSantis is right to hold Worrell accountable for her actions or lack thereof. As the chief executive of the state of Florida, he has every right to remove her from office and install someone who is actually going to follow the laws passed by the state legislature.
