Orlando,FL - A prominent Florida attorney is voicing concerns over what he perceives as undue political influence in the prosecution of a woman charged in a deadly Orlando road rage shooting. The case has drawn scrutiny following public disagreement between Orange-Osceola State Attorney Monique Worrell and Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody.
Defense attorney Mark O’Mara, who previously represented George Zimmerman, stated he is “troubled” by the Attorney GeneralS public commentary regarding the case of Sarah Allgeo, who is accused of fatally shooting a woman during a road rage incident. O’Mara filed a motion to dismiss the case last month, citing potential immunity issues, with a hearing scheduled for October 30th.Worrell has publicly defended her office’s independent judgment, asserting that decisions on the use of force are matters for judicial determination, not partisan politics, and that prosecutors serve the people of their circuit in accordance with Florida law.
“I would much rather fly under the radar,” O’Mara said in an interview Monday. “I don’t need to have the attorney general and the sitting state attorney tussling over me, my case, my client’s case, anything like that because I’d rather just do it the way it’s supposed to be done. I don’t want external source or pressures, be those political, social, whatever it might be.”
The dispute highlights a growing tension between state attorneys and the Attorney General’s office in Florida, notably regarding prosecutorial discretion and the handling of high-profile cases. worrell’s statement emphasized that the Attorney General’s attempts to “intimidate or override independent prosecutorial judgment erode public trust in the impartial administration of justice.”
The case is being closely watched as it raises questions about the appropriate balance between political oversight and the independence of local prosecutors in the Florida legal system.
PSN Taps boeing, SpaceX for Nusantara Lima Satellite to Boost Indonesian Connectivity
jakarta, Indonesia – Palapa Satelit Nusantara (PSN) has selected Boeing to supply the advanced processor technology and SpaceX for the launch of its Nusantara Lima (SNL) satellite, a project aimed at significantly expanding internet access across Indonesia and the wider region. The satellite, boasting a total capacity of 160Gbps, prioritizes improved connectivity for Eastern Indonesia, a region with historically limited access.
According to PSN CEO Adi Rahman Adiwoso, Boeing was chosen due to its advanced capabilities in satellite technology. “Boeing has a pretty good capacity, quite advanced. The processor used for this SNL is the 4th or 5th generation, far more advanced than Satria-1,” Adi stated, emphasizing the companyS commitment to utilizing the latest technology to avoid falling behind in the rapidly evolving space sector.
SpaceX was selected for its proven reliability and competitive pricing. “This is the third time we use SpaceX. They are very competitive and reliable. If you look at the cost of launch insurance, the low insurance costs indicate their level of reliability,” Adi explained.
The Nusantara Lima satellite will allocate approximately 140Gbps of its capacity to Indonesia, with around 80Gbps dedicated to Eastern Indonesia – a substantial increase compared to the Satria-1 satellite’s focus on Western Indonesia. The remaining capacity will be distributed to the Philippines (14Gbps) and Malaysia (8Gbps).
PSN asserts the satellite’s capacity costs will be “the cheapest in the world,” and aims to support critical sectors like banking, education, and business. Adi Rahman Adiwoso also highlighted the strategic importance of SNL as an Indonesian-owned satellite, offering national resilience.”In an emergency, the government can nationalize this satellite…We are a big country, must have their own durability,” he said, contrasting SNL with reliance on foreign services like Starlink or Kuiper.
PSN anticipates the Nusantara Lima satellite will deliver more affordable connectivity, notably to remote areas of Indonesia. The launch is currently underway, with Adi expressing optimism for a prosperous deployment.
