DA JOHNSON STATEMENT REGARDING JODY WARNER INCIDENT

After careful consideration and a thorough investigation, I have decided to terminate Ms. Warner.
Although criminal charges have not been filed, her behavior is contrary to this offices core principle of
integrity, and it will not be tolerated. As public servants, we represent the people of Dallas County and
are examples of justice, professionalism, and ethical behavior both inside and outside of the courtroom.
I will not waiver on my expectation of the highest integrity for myself or my staff. I will continue to run
this office with transparency and respect for the justice system and the community we serve. I
encourage you, the public, to look beyond this incident and recognize that our prosecutors work hard
each day to seek justice on your behalf.
