Dallas judge on probation for DWI arrest has some explaining to do | Opinion
Everyone makes mistakes. But some errors, by particular people in particular positions, are cause for deep concern.
This comes just a few weeks after the State Commission on Judicial Conduct publicly admonished Moorehead, who was arrested on the night of Dec. 8, 2020, after the white Cadillac she was driving struck a light pole near the intersection of Midway and Alpha roads, totaling the car. In August, Moorehead, who was elected to the bench in 2018 and presides over all types of misdemeanor criminal cases, was indicted by a grand jury on one charge of misdemeanor driving while intoxicated, court records show. She accepted a plea bargain agreement on June 21 that placed her on deferred adjudication probation for one year. If she successfully completes the terms of her probation, she will not be convicted of the crime.
Instead, we got an email from her attorney, Deandra Grant, who simply noted there was “no finding of guilt” in her case. Grant is the president of the Dallas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association.
