Why Seth Hyman Was Fired
When he was a prosecutor, Seth Hyman engaged in unethical behavior and lost the confidence of the State Attorney's Office, leading to his being fired. As someone who lost the confidence of members of the State Attorney’s Office, the Office of the Public Defender AND the Judiciary, Mr. Hyman is not fit to lead this office.
