Update - Williamson County DA Jana Duty and Deja Vue: Another Contempt Of Court Violation Looms

Early this morning, Williamson County District Attorney Jana Duty was released from jail. Duty served only 2.5 days of a ten day sentence. She turned herself in at 6pm Friday evening and was released early this morning under the cover of darkness.

Questions remain if further violations of the gag order were committed when Duty’s attorney’s published a press release on behalf of Duty last Friday when she decided to turn herself in.

In 2011, Duty released this statement regarding Public Reprimand she received by the State Bar of Texas for Professional Misconduct. After Duty was reprimanded by the State Bar of Texas in 2011 for Professional Misconduct, she presented a defiant tone towards the State Bar. Duty publicly stated she “wears her reprimand as a badge of honor” and if given the chance again she would “do it all over again”.

“I’m very pleased that this is behind me. In the end, I would have loved to take this final politically motivated grievance all the way to trial, but my personal legal fees alone would have likely exceeded $100,000. Additionally, it would have been an enormous distraction from continuing to do what the people of this county elected me to do: protect our families, save tax dollars and fight the good-old-boy system at the courthouse.”

Now, new questions have now arisen if did Duty again violated the gag order she was just found guilty of violating by speaking about the case in question in her latest press release. Duty still faces possible felony perjury charges for lying under oath, possible prosecutorial misconduct charges and an investigation being conducted by the State Bar of Texas for thirty-four allegations of Professional Misconduct.
