Judge paul diamond says he could not trust williams to stick around and they handcuffed him and ordered him to stay in jail, locked up until the sentencing date. The view from the jury box never having chance to deliver a verdict. I think i was more on the guilty side and a lot of the evidence we were presented so far was not so great for mr. Williams.

Martin says she and the staff will remindedcated to their mission. Philadelphians should know that the District Attorneys Office continues the pursuit of justice and the hope for a safer city. He says that the government likely considered preserving integrity of the das office when offering a plea. You take less than what you want and get it done get him out of office and go on your way. It was a lack of discipline and i think he thought the rules did not apply to him. Former District AttorneyLynn Abrahams says there were problems he was serious about being who he was suppose to be, he was a party guy and ladies man and not serious about taking up the mandle of responsibility of being a prosecutor. She called this entire episode tawdry and sad at the same time. The fact that he went from the chief Law Enforcement officer of the city to federal prisoner, doesnt get much more stunning than that.
