DeSantis suspends elected Florida state attorney Monique Worrell, accusing her of being soft on crime

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday suspended Monique Worrell, the state attorney for Florida’s Ninth Judicial Circuit, accusing her of under-prosecuting criminals in her jurisdiction.

An executive order signed by DeSantis and Secretary of State Cord Byrd accused Worrell of “systematically” allowing criminals to evade incarceration, either by dropping charges or declining to allege provable facts.

Worrell, a Democratic elected official who took office in 2021, accused DeSantis of peddling a “false narrative” and engaging in “political gamesmanship.”

“We all know that this is not about policy or anything that I’ve actually done,” she said.

Trump Claims First Amendment Right To Publish Names Of Witnesses Against Him In Jan 6 Case

Donald Trump’s lawyer John Lauro spent the weekend shouting from the rooftops that he intends to try the January 6 case in the court of public opinion, rather than in the US District Court of the District of Columbia.

In the course of a “full Ginsburg” on the Sunday news shows, he spouted a litany of bizarre claims about “aspirational” coups, “technical violations” of the Constitution, and transferring the trial to West Virginia for “diversity.” And he whined into each and every microphone about the gross unfairness of the government’s proposed protective order, which would bar Trump from publishing discovery materials on social media.

“What the Biden administration is trying to do is prevent the press from learning about exculpatory and helpful information, evidence that the people have a right to know about,” he huffed on ABC.

Local 'Star Wars' impersonator 'Fluke Skywalker' faces new charges in child porn case

A popular local character impersonator is facing new charges in a child porn case.

John Stevens is known as "Fluke Skywalker" for dressing as Luke Skywalker from the "Star Wars" franchise.

The 59-year-old was arrested in July and charged with pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor.

Authorities say they found pornographic videos and photos of adult men with young girls on his phone.

The assistant prosecutor called the details of the material too profane to "say out loud in front of the media."

As of Friday, Stevens also faces two new counts of pandering. His bond remains the same at $200,000.

Nazi symbols and child pornography found in German police chats

Another group within Germany's security structures has been found to be inclined toward Nazi imagery. Recklinghausen officials are concerned by this incident, the second in recent months.

Prosecutors in Germany have uncovered illegal content including Nazi symbols in chat messages involving five officers from three different police districts.

The discovery was made after searches in North Rhine-Westphalian region.

The five men, aged 22 and 25, are suspected to have exchanged Nazi symbols in chats and possessed child pornography during their training, according to Annette Milk, the chief public prosecutor investigating the case.

Pennsylvania Realtor Arrested After Spearing Cops With Flagpole on Jan. 6

A Pennsylvania realtor has been arrested for allegedly attacking Capitol police with a number of objects as he breached the Capitol grounds on Jan. 6. Lowell Gates, 63, came to D.C. that day with a group of friends, according to court documents, and joined in on the chaos as the riot escalated.

Prosecutors say that Gates threw something at officers “before assaulting them with a flagpole,” which he used “in a spear-like motion to lunge at the officers, striking them at least three times.” Gates isn’t your average Capitol-storming couch dweller—he’s listed as the president and CEO of Linlo Properties, a commercial real estate business that he operates alongside his wife, Linda.

Unrelated to his Capitol breach, Gates was arrested in August 2021 for walking around his neighborhood with no pants or underwear on.

Perhaps he was still riding on the high from his insurrection attempt; he allegedly told investigators that he “generally had a lot of fun,” on Jan. 6.

Rudy Giuliani selling $6.5m NYC apartment as legal woes pile up

Rudy Giuliani, the ex-mayor of New York City and one-time lawyer for former President Donald Trump, has listed his Upper East Side apartment for $6.5m amid legal challenges.

Property records and court documents confirm his address is the same listed by Sotheby’s Realty. While the listing says the building “is distinctive for its magnificent gothic-inspired terra cotta and brick façade” the three-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment is also distinctive for being raided by the FBI in April 2021 over Mr Giuliani’s alleged dealings with Ukraine.
