This includes Jacksonville as well as the center of its metropolitan region. The first woman to be elected to the post her election was in the year 2008 but was defeated on the 30th of August 2016 , by Melissa Nelson, the second ever woman to fill the post. Corey was thrust into the spotlight after on the 22nd of March, 2012 Florida Governor Rick Scott announced that she was to be the new State Attorney in the investigation into the death of Trayvon Martin (replacing State Attorney Norm Wolfinger).

In 2006, when she was serving in the position of Assistant State Attorney Corey was dismissed by the State Attorney Harry Shorstein, who cited “long- term issues” in her management performance. Corey claims that her dismissal was due to her decision to vote in opposition to Shorstein’s choice for successor the race for State Attorney.

In a similar case, Fourth Circuit Judge James Harrison called a mandatory minimum sentence “a crime in itself” and declared the 10-20-Life statute unconstitutional. Judge Skinner gave Thompson three years instead.

Since 1996, her main duty was to prosecute murders as well as supervising lawyers working in the Felony division. Shorstein changed her job title in 2005, from Director of the Gun Crime Unit to director of the County Court, which handles misdemeanors. In this job, she trained new lawyers to become prosecutor. She was previously director of the juvenile division.
