Scalia's daughter gets probation for DUI
POSTED: 9:55 a.m. EDT, May 31, 2007
WHEATON, Illinois (AP) -- The daughter of U.S. Supreme Court Justice
Antonin Scalia was sentenced to 18 months of court supervision after
pleading guilty to drunken driving.
Ann S. Banaszewski, 45, of Wheaton, Illinois, on Wednesday accepted a
plea agreement under which prosecutors dropped four other charges
including endangering the life of a child and failure to secure a child
younger than eight in a child-restraint system.
She was arrested February 12 while driving away from a fast-food
restaurant in Wheaton, 20 miles west of Chicago. Three of her children
were inside her 1996 Ford van when someone called police to report a
suspected intoxicated driver, authorities have said.
Banaszewski didn't contest the automatic six-month suspension of her
driver's license for refusing to take a breath test.
A DuPage County judge also sentenced her to 140 hours of public service
and to attend counseling sessions, according to Paul Darrah, a spokesman
for the DuPage County state's attorney's office.
Banaszewski's attorney, Donald Ramsell, said the plea agreement was fair
to both sides.
Scalia, who began serving on the Supreme Court in 1986, has nine children.

WTF were the child endangerment charges dropped? What happened to the
repubs and all their talk about PROTECTING THE CHILDREN?? Bitch should
have been locked up. I'm no coddler.
