The district attorney of Philadelphia, Seth Williams, was indicted yesterday.
Philly.com reports that relative was his mother.
He also gave Williams his old 1997 Jaguar XK8 convertible worth $4,160, the indictment says.
No wonder Williams was “cash-strapped”. What do you think the repair bills are on a 20-year-old Jaguar?
He has complained of his inability to pay alimony stemming from a 2011 divorce and private-school tuition for his daughters, despite his salary of $175,572 a year.
In January, the Philadelphia Board of Ethics assessed the largest fine in its 10-year history for Williams’ failure to report for years more than $175,000 in gifts he had accepted including a new roof, luxury vacations, Eagles sidelines passes, and use of a defense attorney’s home in Florida.
I don’t see any evidence of hookers or blow yet. However, Philly.com does mention that hr was known to hang out in cigar bars; that seems to have replaced call girls and Bolivian marching powder in the affections of many corrupt politicians these days. I really ought to start keeping a tally.
