In January 2010, Seth Williams was elected the first African American District Attorney in Philadelphia and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. During his time in office, there was a significant decrease in gun violence. His office also aggressively prosecuted Catholic Church sex abuse cases. Seth Williams was a trail-blazing district attorney in criminal justice reform. Unfortunately, he would be indicted on 23 counts of bribery, extortion, and fraud within seven short years. He was forced to resign and pleaded guilty to one charge in June 2017. After spending three years in Federal Prison, Seth Williams is back working in Philadelphia with recently released inmates helping them obtain the necessary skills to succeed in life after prison. This conversation will discuss Seth Williams's rise, fall, and hopeful redemption. As a former District Attorney, he shares his thoughts on the increasing crime rate and what he believes we can do to provide a fair and equitable criminal justice system while preserving public safety.
