(Video) Travis County DA sentenced to 45 days for DWI Newsroom 4/19/2013
Sheriff's deputies have taken Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg into custody after a judge sentenced her to 45 days in jail for DWI. Lehmberg pleaded guilty to the charge Friday after she was arrested last weekend. She later issued a formal apology and said she would plead guilty to whatever charge the county prosecutor thought appropriate. She did not ask for a plea deal or any special treatment.
Based on sentencing standards, it was not immediately clear how long she would actually spend in jail. Lehmberg said she hoped to put the matter behind her and continue in office, but there are calls for her resignation.
The Austin American-Statesman released an editorial on Friday calling for her to step down and one resident has petitioned for her removal.
Travis County == Austin, right?
Turn about is fair play. Enjoy.
Assume that as it’s Austin and no mention of party affiliation she’s a Dem.
The Travis county DA was caught driving in the wrong lane on RM 620 and Comanche Trail. She has been asked to step down, but refuses since Gov Perry could appoint a Republican DA, which would be a no-no for Travis county.
Of course she’s a Dem
Here is her Facebook page

Someone grab bf it goes down. My work is done for now gotta go
I would hope this beast could be forced out of office.
I was going to mention that, but messed up the html and had to go back and add a paragraph between the pic and video.
"I'm having a bad day."
It is an evil white judge doing this to her....nevermind the black officer handcuffing her.....he is only doing his job, but that white racist judge is attacking her! lol
I think the dash cam and jail videos plus other documents will come out later today. She was more than .15 BAC. She also spit into the deputy’s face. That would be a great political ad for her opposition.
Maybe she realized he was a Republican, in which case she was justified. At least, in the eyes of her fellow party members.
If she's actually been doing her job, that is....
Guilty.
I forgot to add that she had an open bottle of vodka in the front seat. She stopped in a church parking lot and that is where she got arrested.
“I’m having a bad day.” ....Or a bad half century?
I was hoping it was Ronny Earl. Is he still DA?
No, he has been gone for several years.
