Developing to night a bombshell from Philadelphia District attorney Seth Williams. His current term as District Attorney will be his last. The announcement just weeks after williams was slapped with a record setting ethics fine. Bruce gordon was there when the embattled two term District Attorney revealed the reason behind his decision. Reporter williams told reporters his decision to for go a run at a third term was best for his office and his family. His poor judgment caused distractions for both. During my tenure i have made regrettable mistakes in my personal life and personal Financial Life that cast an unnecessary shadow over the District Attorneys office. Reporter williams failed to promptly report more than 160,000 in gifts he received from 2010 through 2015. Including a 45,000 roof and window replacement job at his home from a south jersey builder and several seasons in which the eagles provided him with complimentary side line passes. Williams reported them as having no face value. So my decision to accept gifts and failed to report them but much em bar many, shame and adverse publicity to me and unfortunately to the office for which i love. For this, i will always hold deep regret in my heart. Reporter williams was first elected in 2009 as the first africanamerican da in pennsylvania. His ethics controversy attracted no fewer five challengers in many years democratic primary. Long time political observer larry seitzler believes absent further scandal, williams could have won. People vote yes or no on the incumbent, but once that incumbent has one challenger, then he has to hope he has many challengers to split the vote. And thats what Seth Williams had going for him. Williams touted his offices conviction rate on felony cases but that boast came at a cost. Local fraternal order of police rented a billboard to blast the da. The fop believes williams dumped case that is could have been prosecuted. John mcnesby was out of town. I reached him by phone. Officers out there in the divisions making arrests, risking their lives, and protecting the community, and detectives investigating those crimes, and then they go to the da office only to be declined because its not airtight questions. Williams offered this message of contrition to the District Attorneys office and its workers. I offer my deepest and most sincere policies.
