Philly D.A. Williams Loses It After Appeals Court Overturns His Wrongful Conviction of Msgr. Lynn; Kudos to Philly Journalist Who Lambastes Williams’ ‘Show Trial’ For a ‘Priestly Scalp’
After a Pennsylvania appeals court unanimously overturned the landmark conviction of Msgr. William J. Lynn – a conviction which the mainstream media naturally loudly trumpeted – Philadelphia D.A. Seth Williams publicly attacked Msgr. Lynn, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, and even the appellate court judges to whom he is ethically bound to show due respect.
After Williams intemperately declared that the court’s ruling was an “injustice,” writer Ralph Cipriano reports that Lynn’s lawyer, Thomas A. Bergstrom, believes that Williams’ conduct was “unbecoming of his office and position as the city’s top law enforcement officer.”
Rather than dutifully discharging his role as simply a publicly elected law enforcement officer, Bergstrom adds, “All of a sudden he [Williams] is now judge, jury and executioner, and he’s still railing about this man (Msgr. Lynn) being guilty, and he’s innocent.”
