S.A. Civil Rights Attorney Misused Money

A San Antonio civil rights attorney pleaded guilty to misusing money he recovered on behalf of a client.

James Myart pleaded guilty to taking more than $13,000 that was supposed to go to one of his clients.

As part of the plea deal Myart surrendered his license to be an attorney.

He also admitted to a 2005 shoplifting charge and to lying about being attacked by police back in 2006.

Myart will be sentenced in June.
