Dr. Matthews Holds News Conference Regarding Allegations Involving Judge Curvey

Dr. Matthews held a news conference outside the Harris County District Attorney's Office announcing that she submitted information she says prompted a criminal investigation involving Judge Damiane "Dianne" Curvey, Judge Guice, Natalie Stewart and Aisha Shahid. During the conference, Dr. Matthews said a witness submitted a sworn affidavit alleging Natalie Stewart, whom she described as a convicted felon and friend of Shahid, was picked up from Judge Curvey's home by an Uber driver two days before Shahid's first court appearance. Dr. Matthews said she is calling for investigators to review surveillance video, phone records, text messages, and other evidence related to the allegations. She also stated that additional judicial complaints would be filed and said she believes those involved should be held accountable if any misconduct is found.
