The Overlook with Matt Peiken

Part 2: Having vs. Seeking Conviction | Todd Williams, Buncombe County District Attorney

Matt Peiken Episode 49

Buncombe County District Attorney Todd Williams He won’t discuss the Aston Park case directly because it’s still active. But in the second of a two-part conversation, Williams does talk in broad policy and gives an analogy about a case his department handled several years ago. We also talk about the evolution of Williams' approach to the job, including his view on seeking the death penalty, and Williams lends context to how his office handles charges related to vagrancy.
