Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams had a bright future in front of him as a former rising star once considered to be a contender for mayor, or even governor. Now his future, and his freedom, will be put in the hands of a jury weighing the facts in his federal corruption case.
Williams, 50, is set to stand trial on a host of charges after jury selection begins Monday morning.

He’s pleaded not guilty to all charges.
