Aftermath of Dallas County DA debate takes ugly turn
Republican district attorney candidate Susan Hawk on Tuesday suggested that Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins had been drinking before a public forum on crimes against women and children.
Her comment came after a debate-style event in which Watkins, who is seeking his third term, complained of unfair time limits, occasionally would not sit down when the moderator told him time had expired and at one point asked a top aide how long he’d been in office.
