When Jason Williams was campaigning to be the Orleans Parish District Attorney, he ran on a platform of criminal justice reform. As a career criminal defense attorney, he drew a sharp distinction between himself and his opponent in that race, interim DA-turned-judge Keva Landrum. But now, after almost three years as the city's chief prosecutor, Williams has undergone a professional and personal evolution. While he has decidedly moved the DA’s office in the direction of reform, Williams has taken mostly measured steps and even reversed his positions on some of his strongest campaign promises.
