In 1993, then-Governor William Weld appointed the then-district attorney, Judd Carhart, to a judgeship.[3][1][2] Scheible, then-Carhart's first assistant, was appointed to serve out the remainder of his term.[1][3][2] She was sworn in at Mary E. Wooley Hall on the Mount Holyoke campus.[1] She ran as a Republican in the next four elections and was never challenged for the post.[1]
As district attorney, she had a staff of roughly 100 people and a budget of nearly $5 million.[1] She prosecuted those involved in the suicide of Phoebe Prince in 2011.[1] The Boston Globe named her a Bostonian of the Year for her work on the case.[1][3][2]
In one of her earliest cases, she prosecuted Sean Seabrooks for stabbing his ex-girlfriend and their son.[1] After he was convicted, Scheibel was invited to Japan, where Seabrook's victim's mother was originally from, and helped get Japan's first anti-domestic violence law passed.[1][3]
