Am I wrong? I heard no charges were being filed. Hmmm, could it have ANYTHING to do with the fact that she's the president's daughter? I don't know anyone else with 2 offenses in a row that would get off this easy!!
Charges were filed... Barb, MIP, and Jenna, using false identification. Barb likely will get a $500 fine, community service, and an alcohol awareness program. Jenna will face harsher punishment because it's her second offense (it's likely that she will lose her license for 90 - 120 days).

My question is, why is this news? According to local press (I'm in Austin, TX), the only newspaper around that isn't covering the case is the "Daily Texan" which is the UT student run newspaper. Congratulations to them. Is it news when any other student faces the same charges.... come on, it's a class C misdemeanor. Did she (jenna) use bad judgment? Yes. Is it news? No.
