nbc 10 breaking news. and we're following that breaking news onment nbt. philadelphia district attorney seth williams indicted. the city's top prosecutor is facing nearly two dozen charges

including bribery, extortion and fraud. it stems from an investigation into nearl$160,000 in gifts for williams. >> as the indictment alleges mr. williams was willing to compromise his position of public trust in exchange for private financial gain. and that allegation is even more unfortunate given the fact that he was elected to protect the interests of the people of philadelphia as their chief law enforcement officer. for expert insight on the legal process and what's next for seth williams, let's welcome in legal analyst enrique. >> how do you think lawyers will defend seth williams? >> they have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that one thing was for another thing. it cannot just be a casual connection. you can go to nbc 10.com and red the entire indictment in full.

he asked for something and then his friends asked for something. and it seems as though he's doing something for his friend and his friend is doing something for him. but you can look at it a different way and say just because someone is doing something for someone who happens to be a district attorney, it doesn't mean that he's doing it as a bribe. this is not an explicit payoff. when you read the text messages and you read through the indictment, there's nothing that's actually explicit, i will do this for you if you do this for me. so he does have a lot of room to be defended. he's innocent till proven guilty. and i think that's how they'll go about defending this case. >> the implications here could be far reaching, though. enrique, does the d.a. getting indicted have any impact on current cases? >> it's definitely not a get out of jail free card. everyone that's indicted or right now arrested for financial crimes doesn't get a free pass just because the actual district attorney is arrested now. however it gives every defense attorney a good position to stand up in court and say the actually district attorney had a similar situation and he's not

guilty and therefore my client's not guilty. the actual district attorney had a misunderstanding with some things that might have looked bad and therefore you can apply that to my client. it puts the district attorney in a very bad position to be prosecuting a case when the actual district attorney himself is charged with these type of crimes. >> seth williams does not have to resign despite the indictment. so do you think he will stay? >> i do not believe so. i mean, this is a stain upon all district attorneys. in this county and other counties. it looks very bad to be a district attorney and having your actual chief -- your person that's in charge of everything to be charged with these kind of crimes. you have an election season going on right now. this is going to be the talk of the town. this is not going to die down. for the sake of everyone that's beneath him and the people he's supposed to be in the leadership role above, i believe that he will step down and i believe it will be very bad for hip to stay on. >> legal expert enrique latoison, thank you for your

time. be sure to stay with nbc 10 and the app for the indictment of seth williams. a live report coming up at 6:00. let's take a right turn now to the weather. a warm tuesday. we all enjoyed it. get ready for a 20-degree drop on the way. >> it will be coming. >> have we done this before? >> tammie souza joins us. today was a day to spend outside. >> it was. aren't you kind of tired of this? you end up having a beautiful day outside. you get all the outdoor stuff ready, then the next day it will be cold. tired of it? i'm tired of it, too. but it will happen again. get ready. when we see shades of yellow, that's good. we like the yellow, that's the orange. that's the slightly warmer air. the green is okay. we get into the blues, not so happy. right now philadelphia at 59, 58 in mt. holly, 58 in vineland. atlantic city at 60. i tell you this 59 is the daytime high. that's what we reached.

it's always good when we're above average, right? outside a few high thin clouds moving in. but step back. philadelphia by the time you get up at 8:00 in the morning we'll be starting at 35, cascading downward throughout the afternoon. you don't notice anything in reading above the freezing mark. wilmington in the mid-30s all day long, stone harbor, upper 30s all day long. no big warm-up for tomorrow. but a huge one but let your imagination run wild. that will be in the ten-day in a few minutes. >> we'll be looking for that. new at 5:00, no water in one local church after a fight with the city. a pastor says he's being bullied by the philadelphia water department. all new at 5:00, now he's trying to fight back by getting other churches to join a class actioù lawsuit. >> for the past two weeks -- >> that's as much as it comes out. >> reporter: there's been no water at provisional grace world mission church in north philly. >> we're really feeling like the

city has taken advantage of us and that, you know, the folk are hurt because they know we pay our bills. >> reporter: the pastor tony pritchette said the fight with the water bureau started years ago over this monthly charge, stormwater runoff. he says it's actually a tax, not a service. and therefore nonprofits like churches shouldn't have to pay it. >> i pay the balance and i believe god told me to challenge that. so i went to court and began the challenge. >> reporter: his most recent bill shows the church used $57 worth of water but charged 13 times that, $756 is tacked on for storm water. the church has continued to pay the usage, not the storm water fee leading to late charges and the recent water shutoff. but this isn't just affecting service. it's also affecting community outreach. they've had to stop their after-school program and for their food ministry, folks have been waiting outside in line

can't come in and use the rest room. >> we have to stand for something. and we do have to stand for what's right. >> we began a court battle. >> reporter: pritchette is now hoping to get other faith-based nonprofits to join the fight against the city. the city says the stormwater charge is not a tax, it's a service fee that everyone pays. pritchette says he's standing firm in his beliefs and his fight. >> it's bully tactics. it's bully tactics that they're using against these churches. >> reporter: the pastor reiterated he's always paid for the water his church uses. here's a look at some of the stories making headlines county by county across our region today. atlantic county police are on the hunt for people who robbed two convenience stores stabbing one of the clerks in the chest. take a look at this surveillance video. you see the robber go hundred behind the counter, fight with
