State Sen. Sarah Eckhardt on Thursday said she has “grave concerns” about Travis County District Attorney José Garza's administration amid a growing political and legal firestorm over how the agency handles the most serious crimes.

In a highly unusual rebuke of a fellow Democrat, Eckhardt said, “There is mounting evidence that our district attorney is not vigorously prosecuting cases and that is of grave public safety and also of grave concern for the fairness to the accused.
