Florida AG Slams Prosecution Of Woman In Fatal Orlando Road-Rage Shooting

(This is Florida. AG Uthmeier is absolutely correct and Tina Allgeo was 'Standing Her Ground.' This road-rage incident has NO BEARING in the fact that Mihail Tsvetkov got out of his car, approached Allgeo's car, snatched the door open and physically attacked her, punching her multiple times, and tried to drag her from her vehicle. She shot him with a legally owned weapon while she was being attacked and in fear of her life. End Of Story.)

ORLANDO, Fla. —
Florida's attorney general on Monday slammed a decision made by the Orange-Osceola state attorney involving a 2024 shooting in Orlando.
James Uthmeier said he was "troubled and puzzled" by the prosecution of Tina Allgeo, who on Dec. 2 was arrested in a road-rage shooting and charged with second-degree murder.
The victim, Mihail Tsvetkov, was shot and killed during an incident near Primrose Drive and Colonial Drive.
The Orange-Osceola state attorney, Monique Worrell,
According to investigators, the incident began when Tsvetkov was following closely behind Allgeo’s vehicle on Colonial Drive, allegedly bumping her car before attempting to drive off.
Allgeo told police she followed him to obtain his license plate number and accidentally bumped his Lexus. Police say that is when Tsvetkov got out of his car, approached Allgeo’s vehicle and was shot by Allgeo.
Documents say she said she shot him once because she feared for her life as he punched her multiple times.
Her attorney, Mark O'Mara, argued that Allgeo acted in self-defense. He said the video shows the victim opening her car door before the shooting.
In a post on X, Uthmeier said:
"Monique Worrell may not like Florida’s Stand Your Ground laws, but those laws reflect our God-given right to self-defense. In the case of Tina Allgeo, State Attorney Worrell should reconsider her prosecution."
O'Mara told WESH 2, "I don’t want whatever is going on between the two of them to impact on my ability to resolve the case."
O'Mara went on to say that while he sides with the attorney general’s opposition to charging Allgeo, he also doesn’t want a dispute to interfere with justice.
"I’m a bit troubled," O'Mara said. "I don’t feel the need to have Tina or this case be part of the politics between the two offices. I know they have been tussling. I mean, leave Tina out of it. But I don’t disagree with his interpretation of the of the statute and the facts of this case.
O'Mara will seek a “stand your ground” hearing, which could eliminate the need for a trial, now set for next year.
 
Worrell released the following statement shortly after:

"Every day, the Attorney General's inexperience with criminal prosecution becomes more abundantly clear; it risks the public safety and credibility of our criminal legal system for every Floridian. State Attorneys are constitutionally empowered to exercise discretion in determining when charges should be brought.
"That discretion requires prosecutors to evaluate whether sufficient evidence exists to establish probable cause, and whether the matter should properly be presented to a grand jury or court. In a homicide case, where one individual's life has been taken, the gravity of the circumstances demands thorough evaluation.
"Florida's self-defense laws, including the 'Stand Your Ground' statute, provide certain immunities when the use of force is justified; however, whether that justification applies in any given case is a matter for judicial determination, not partisan politics. Prosecutors do not serve as extensions of the Governor or the Attorney General; we serve the people of our circuit in accordance with Florida law.
"The Attorney General's attempts to intimidate or override independent prosecutorial judgment erode public trust in the impartial administration of justice."

Attorney General James Uthmeier’s response.

 DeSantis Removes Radical Soros-Installed State Attorney

There is great news regarding Monique Worrell, the Soros-installed state attorney in central Florida who let free a Criminal of Color who had tried to rape a teenager. Esteemed Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has taken her out:
Soros-backed prosecutor suspended by Gov. DeSantis throws temper tantrum.
A Soros-backed prosecutor who’s been suspended is raging mad at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for holding her accountable.
In fact, according to State Attorney Monique Worrell, her suspension at DeSantis’ hands makes him a veritable dictator.
“If we’re mourning anything this morning, it is the loss of democracy. I am your duly elected state attorney for the Ninth Judicial Circuit and nothing done by a weak dictator can change that,” she said during a press conference Wednesday.
“This is an outrage. Three years ago, I was elected by the people of the Ninth Judicial Circuit to lead this circuit and yes, to do things unconventionally, to do things differently. But I didn’t hide, I didn’t say I would do things and I wouldn’t do them. I didn’t say I wouldn’t do things and not did them. I did exactly what I said I would do, and that is what you want from an elected official,” she added.

She reportedly continued by claiming her ouster was political. Yet in announcing Worrell’s suspension, the governor made it clear that it had everything to do with her soft, lax approach toward crime.
In keeping with liberal proclivities, Worrell has been a friend to those arrested for child pornography.
“It is my duty as governor to ensure that the laws enacted by our duly elected legislature are followed. The people of central Florida deserve to have a state attorney who will seek justice in accordance with the law instead of allowing violent criminals to roam the streets and find new victims,” he said in a statement.
During his own Wednesday press conference, he went through Worrell’s history of failing to prosecute criminals, including repeat offenders. He also announced her replacement: Judge Andrew Bain.

The governor’s move is backed by local police unions that have accused Worrell of being “soft on crime.” Indeed, in a Facebook post published over the weekend, one local union slammed her for releasing a child molester who later went on to shoot two cops.
“Daton Viel was a violent criminal that the Orange/Osceola County State Attorney let walk the streets after Orlando Police arrested him in March of this year for sexually assaulting a child. He was on probation at the time of his arrest, yet Monique Worrell let him out,” the Facebook post reads.
“Now 2 Orlando Police Officers’ lives have changed forever. Monique Worrell’s soft on crime stance has yet again let the citizens of Orlando down. When is this reckless behavior going to end?” it continues.
Look:

Worrell responded to the accusation by again crying politics.
“There are officers that are currently fighting for their lives and I think it’s a terrible thing that the FOP would use this as an opportunity to exploit a political narrative about me being soft on crime,” she said, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
“Bond is something that individuals are entitled to as a matter of law. In this case, the court determined that this individual was entitled to a bond. … I don’t determine who gets out of jail. All I do is uphold the law,” she added.
But the truth is that Viel is just the tip of the iceberg. A document released by DeSantis’ office contains dozens of other examples.
For instance: “Worrell has authorized or allowed practices or policies that have systematically permitted violent offenders, drug traffickers, serious-juvenile offenders, and pedophiles to evade incarceration, when otherwise warranted under Florida law,” the document reads.
“These practices or policies include non-filing or dropping meritorious charges or declining to allege otherwise provable facts to avoid triggering applicable lengthy sentences, minimum mandatory sentences, or other sentencing enhancements, especially for offenders under the age of 25, except in the most extreme cases,” it continues.

Interestingly, Worrell has also been soft on gun crimes, despite being a Democrat.
“[T]he Osceola County Sheriffs Office reports that it referred 58 non-homicide Robbery with a Firearm cases to the Ninth Circuit in 2021 and 2022. As of May 2023, only one of those cases had resulted in the minimum mandatory sentence of ten years,” the document reads.

Critics say the irony is rich …

 

Now for the bad news. Monique Worrell fulfills all requirements to be Biden’s next pick for the Supreme Court.
