Amidst Media Coverage, Philly DA Changes His Mind

Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams, and PA Supreme Court Chief Justice Ronald Castille have been fielding a lot of negative criticism after last weeks news that more than 20,000 cases have been dismissed to "un-clog" the system in Philly.  Some of the FUZZBUZZ readers may have read it here first.  Now, the DA is saying that "some" of the "serious" cases were thrown out mistakenly.  More likely, I think he's  surprised that the reporters found out about all of the cases and even more surprised that they found out about the many serious ones.

Suffice to say, he has changed his mind, and is now looking into re-instating charges against some of the defendants.  Read more here at the Philadelphia Inquirer.

What a huge waste of time!
