KFOX reporter Dena Richardson has also announced she's leaving her station after being accepted to law school.
Richardson posted on her "In The Courtroom" Tuesday that her last day at KFOX will be Friday.
" I am leaving the station to embark on a new career path.I have accepted a scholarship to attend St. Mary’s School of Law in San Antonio in the fall," Richardson posted on the blog.
She went on to say that she had no ambitions of becoming a lawyer until recently. She started at KFOX in April 2009 and dove into covering trials and other goings-on at the county and federal courthouses.
The decision to attend St. Mary's will help Richardson be closer to her family, especially her parents who live in the San Antonio area.
Among the notable court cases she covered while at KFOX include the David Marmolejo murder trials in El Paso and San Antonio.
On a personal note, it was at the first Marmolejo trial where I got to know both Dena and Marissa Monroy, and during the second trial in San Antonio we spent a lot of downtime together. I will miss seeing them around the courthouse and on other news assignments, and I wish them the best of luck in their new endeavours outside of journalism.

Dena, you are so pretty and so talented. KFOX will have a huge loss to deal with now that you're gone. It will be impossible to fill your shoes. Good luck!

How come no mention of Miri Marshall leaving KFOX? Aren't they your news partners? Shouldn't we know something about this?

Arditti posts were awesome. Good Luck, you will do well in law school. Jjust don't turn into a mean assistant district attorney. Remember us little people. Perhaps public defender?
