Justice Scalia's Daughter Arrested

People who have a "throw the book at 'em" attitude about all crime, large and small, often experience a change of heart when a son or daughter is arrested and charged. It's difficult to watch as one's child is chewed up by the criminal justice system.

Justice Scalia doesn't necessarily have a "throw the book at 'em" attitude, but it is interesting to wonder whether his daughter's experience with the criminal justice system will cause him feel a bit more sympathy toward the hardships that ordinary defendants endure during and after an arrest.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's daughter was arrested this week and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and child endangerment, officials said Wednesday.

Ann Banaszewski was arrested after driving with an undisclosed blood alcohol level. Three children were in her van.
