In this episode of So You Got Arrested, hosts Steve Barrera and Jacob Lindbergh sit down with Jane Davis, a veteran prosecutor and candidate for Bexar County District Attorney. With a career spanning over four decades in San Antonio and experience serving under seven different District Attorneys, Davis brings a unique, "boots-on-the-ground" perspective to the race.

From her early days as a public school teacher and collegiate track coach to her current role as Section Chief of the Juvenile Division, Jane discusses why she believes the DA’s office needs a return to professional camaraderie and structured mentorship.

Key topics discussed include:

  • The "24-Hour Rule": Jane’s proposal for immediate contact with family violence victims.
  • The Backlog Strike Force: Strategies to increase efficiency between law enforcement and the DA’s office.
  • Juvenile Justice & Rehabilitation: How data-driven research is changing the way we approach recidivism in young offenders.
  • Specialty Courts & Mental Health: The importance of addressing the "criminogenic factors" that lead to arrest.
  • Ending Inefficiency: Tackling the "magistration dispute" between the city and county to streamline the justice process.

Whether you are a legal professional or a Bexar County resident looking to stay informed for the upcoming primary, this episode offers a deep dive into the policies and temperament required to lead one of Texas's largest criminal justice hubs.
