Rowhouse Logic - Breathtaking Inanity

Via Young Philly Politics, The Inky has a biographical write up on Seth Williams this morning. Not much new here, but the attention helps. Go have a look:

Pointing to court statistics that show more than 50 percent of Philadelphia’s felony charges are thrown out of court before trial, Williams proposes a detailed community-based redeployment of the prosecutor’s office: assistant prosecutors would be based in geographic zones of the city, and the same prosecutor would handle each case from arraignment through trial. This would minimize the chances of a case falling through the cracks and would cut down on dismissals based on poor preparation or missing witnesses, Williams argues.

When he began campaigning in earnest several months ago, many political leaders in the city wondered, Who is this upstart? After all, Williams had no history in Philadelphia politics.

“Some people say I should wait four more years. I say, why? For who? For what?” Williams said. “This is about the victims of crime.”

Now the political establishment knows who he is.
