Prosecutor fired after fight with Uber driver makes emotional statement: 'I was wrong'
Jody Warner
After  Dallas prosecutor Jody Warner  was fired from  her  job in the district attorney's office for an altercation with an Uber driver   she  apologized for  her  actions  saying today  "I was wrong."
"I'm very sorry for the language I used. I'm not proud of it "  Warner  said at a press conference as  she  fought back tears. "I appreciate being given the opportunity to give my side. I'm not trying to make any accusations against that driver. I don't know what's in his heart. I can tell you that not everything he said was true. I never touched him."
 She  added  "I'm not ever going to justify anything that I said. There's just a little bit more to it  and I was wrong."
The argument led to  Warner 's firing on Monday by Dallas District Attorney Faith Johnson.
"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 office's core principle of integrity  and it will not be tolerated " Johnson said in a statement. "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 waver 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."
