Meteoric fall.

And politicians wonder why the citizenry doesn't trust or respect them. The list of PA crooks goes on and on.

 

[NittPicker]

That'll make him more qualified to serve on the BoT. After he's appointed he'll pull a Dambly and forget he plead guilty to anything.

 

[Sharkies]

5 years in the Big House is what I'm reading!!!!!!! HELL YES!!!

 

[NitNE73]

Pleads guilty to one count but admits guilt in all 29 counts.

 

[TenerHallTerror]

do not mock our future BoT Chair

 

[Obliviax]

Tomorrow he is going to contract some kind of life threatening illness....count on it. (he's also going to find his religion).

 

[91Joe95]

Will he lose his pension?

 

[demlion]

How low do you have to stoop to be a lawyer politician in PA?

I'd be shocked if the sentencing judge even comes close to the potential maximum five year sentence. One and a half to three is more probable. Hope I'm wrong. That dirtbag should get the full max.

As low as you want. It doesn't matter, because there is always somebody lower.

White collar crime pays well. He'll be out in less than a year and get millions for some consulting fee from a crooked company. Mark it down!

Like PMA.

 

[OldTiredLion]

As corrupt as this state is I wouldn't be surprised if walks away without any time served. But CS&S see time thru bars for a political hit job.

 

[Sharkies]

without any time served.

In which case you would already be wrong... Seth was cuffed and hauled off to jail just minutes ago; Judge didn't trust he wasn't a flight risk and will serve at least the next couple months prior to sentencing in the pen....sentencing on Oct 24, so looks like he'll miss the home opener haha

remind me again which politician Adam T was shilling for instead of honoring Joe??

THIS. Tells you everything anyone ever needed to know about the kind of person Adam T really is, if there was any doubt. Notwithstanding his lack of back bone on certain votes with the A9 when we had Lubrano telling us he was still with them too. Unbelievable and quite frankly, unforgivable.

Seth Williams pleads guilty, resigns

http://www.philly.com/

The trial was starting to detail his spending on nightclubs. Didn't even get to how he stole from his own mother. Have no idea why he let it get this far -- he wasn't going to benefit from a trial in any way. Not that he got offered much of a deal from the prosecutors. He's going away for a while I think.

 

[Woodpecker]

Can he use his computer privileges to post as Black Elmo again?

 

[Diego Badman]

Pleads guilty, resigns his position, and goes to jail.

EOM

 

[PennSt8er]

Awww. Gonna miss Seth the blowhard.

 

[BobPSU92]

He should wear swim trunks in jail.

He's simply padding his resume prior to securing an Executive Board position on the BOT.

 

[dwiz]

He says he has $150-$200 to his name. I bet when he comes out he is living the high life again.

Maybe the judge will transfer some of those years to Spanier. Why not? It's PA.

"It is reasonable to assume...." that since JVP was HC during Williams' undergraduate years at PSU, he conspired to keep Seth's propensity for malfeasance a secret.

Joe definitely knew.

I guess this means he won't be making the Furries Convention in Pittsburgh as the Butterscotch Panther....

 

[marshall23]

Joe definitely knew.

No doubt Rod Erickson and Eric Barron are crafting a press release accepting PSU's responsibility for all Seth's crimes and asking for forgiveness.

 

[JoeDidntKnow]

I hope he spends the rest of his days breaking rocks in a super max. Rufus is a disgrace to the Grand Experiment.

From my perspective. the last six years have opened my eyes to how much Joe must have been swimming against the tide. Seems to me Seth fits right in with OGBOTs and the past two presidents.

An asshole who suffers a tragic accident doesn't stop being an asshole.

People feeling compassion for what he went through? Sure
People who voted for and supported that asshole as a Trustee? Not so much

It's our culture. It's who we are.

Imagine how disappointed those old-guard trustees must have been when they couldn't get their man from suny-wherever.

Rufus Seth Williams leaves the courthouse in handcuffs

Rufus pled guilty today and will be sentences on October 24. Judge Paul S. Diamond deemed him a flight risk and he will be held in custody until he is sentenced.

I am guessing there will be no return on his favor of his hiring Frank Fina and shielded Fina from his pornography indiscretions.

Some of us gave him the benefit of the doubt, knowing that if Joe vouched for him, we figured he was an okay guy. Well, Joe was wrong. I'll say it, Adam T is a disgrace.

 

[NittPicker]

I hope he spends the rest of his days breaking rocks in a super max. Rufus is a disgrace to the Grand Experiment.

Apologies if I'm misunderstanding your post but Williams didn't play football at PSU.

 

[91Joe95]

Will he be out in time for homecoming?
