In a surprise development, the city’s top prosecutor pleaded guilty Thursday to a corruption charge, resigned from office and was sent immediately to jail by a judge who said he couldn’t be trusted.

Two weeks into his federal trial, District Attorney Seth Williams pleaded guilty to a single count of accepting a bribe from a businessman.

He had been charged with 29 counts of bribery, extortion and fraud.

From Wiki:

He also created and led the Repeat Offenders Unit with the goal of reducing the high percentage of crimes committed by repeat offenders.
