[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 77103544, member: 123415"] I wonder if Hinkle opted to dismiss the case anyway (but throw in a little jab at DeSantis) because he knows that there's a good chance the 11th circuit court of appeals may have overturned a ruling had he opted to try to rule to reinstate Warren. (it wouldn't be the first time Hinkle had a ruling overturned by the 11th circuit court of appeals) Hinkle choice words do seem a bit odd. [URL unfurl="true"]https://floridapolitics.com/archives/582609-judge-dismisses-andrew-warrens-case-but-says-gov-desantis-violated-prosecutors-rights/[/URL] From the bench he said: [I]“Florida Governor Ron DeSantis suspended elected State Attorney Andrew Warren, ostensibly on the ground that Mr. Warren had blanket policies not to prosecute certain kinds of cases. The allegation was false,” the ruling opens. “Mr. Warren’s well established policy, followed in every case by every prosecutor in the office, was to exercise prosecutorial discretion at every stage of every case. Any reasonable investigation would have confirmed this.”[/I] However, a quick look at what Warren's actions actually were: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.fox13news.com/news/hillsborough-state-attorney-pledges-not-to-press-charges-against-abortion-patients-doctors[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/08/17/andrew-warren-desantis-lawsuit/[/URL] "pledging he would not prosecute cases stemming from [URL='https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/04/14/florida-abortion-desantis/?itid=lk_inline_manual_2']Florida’s 15-week abortion ban [/URL]and potential bans on gender-affirming care." While the judge states "it's not a blanket policy to not prosecute certain kinds of cases, it was just about exercising prosecutorial discretion at every stage at every case", the facts seem to not necessarily line up with that.
