Below is my column in The Hill on the scathing rebuke of Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner by the state Supreme Court. Krasner ran for reelection on the slogan “F–k Around and Find Out.” He just found out…
Here is the column:
District Attorney Larry Krasner is something of a bargain for Philadelphia. According to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, he has not only been serving as the city’s prosecutor but effectively as its top public defender.
Krasner’s record is the subject of a scathing new opinion, which accuses him of leading a dishonest effort to undermine major criminal cases to engineer new trials for defendants.
Krasner has long cultivated a reputation as the champion of the left. We were both liberal students in the same class at the University of Chicago. While I moved to the political center, Krasner moved even more dramatically to the far left. Funded by George Soros as part of his campaign to elect social justice warriors as prosecutors, Krasner has used his office to threaten to arrest FBI agents and to “hunt down” ICE officers, to the delight of the far left.
The chest-pounding has not resulted in any such roundups, but the press remains good for Krasner in cultivating his image as the avenging angel of the perpetually enraged.
That is why the recent opinion from Pennsylvania’s Democratic-controlled Supreme Court was so surprising. It appears that even these liberal justices have had enough.
In Commonwealth v. Brown, Justice Kevin Dougherty (joined by Justices Sallie Updyke Mundy, Kevin Brobson, and Daniel McCaffery) denounced Krasner and his office for a pattern of misleading and mendacious filings to undermine the criminal cases of murderers and other convicts.
These defendants filed for relief under Pennsylvania’s Post Conviction Relief Act. The Act allowed for an adversarial process to determine whether defendants should receive new trials. However, the district attorney’s office routinely abandoned the field, leaving defendants essentially unopposed in their demands.
The Supreme Court wrote that such concessions robbed the public of “the benefits of opposing advocacy.”
It went even further in alluding to Krasner’s possible political and ideological motivations in pandering to the far left. “When relief is not dictated by the record and law but merely advocated for personal, political, ideological, policy, or other non-legal reasons, a prosecutor’s concession does not minister justice,” the opinion states. “It facilitates injustice.”
Then came the haymaker — a finding that Krasner’s concession was “not reliable” and that Krasner’s office had “violated its duty of candor,” “withheld material evidence from the court, opposed efforts by amici to gain access to this evidence, submitted a false stipulation of fact, misstated facts in its pleadings, failed to conduct a reasonable investigation, and opposed a required evidentiary hearing.” In this case, the justices wrote, the “predictable result was the erroneous grant of a new trial.”
The justices cited a pattern by which, since 2018, his office has conceded relief in roughly 100 murder cases like the one at issue. It found that his office engaged in “numerous instances of untrustworthy concessions, lack of candor, misrepresentations of fact, lack of adequate investigation, and avoidance of hearings. And the problems are poised to continue.”
The justices were clearly alarmed because there are more than a thousand cases still in the pipeline, and Krasner’s office is expected to continue what they called “its checkered concession program.”
To give you an idea of the cases where Krasner’s office struggled to undo the conviction of murderers, consider the facts of the 1984 case of Robert Wharton. Wharton was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death for the 1984 strangulation and drowning deaths of Bradley and Ferne Hart. Wharton was upset about a debt, so he broke into their home, killed the Harts, and then turned off the heat, leaving their seven-month-old baby, Lisa, to freeze to death. The baby miraculously survived.
The court expressly cited Krasner’s prosecutors for making misrepresentations to the court. That included the claim by Krasner’s office that the family of the victims had bizarrely favored undoing the conviction. It was later discovered that Krasner’s staff had consulted only one relative, who was not the couple’s surviving daughter. The daughter, in fact, vehemently and understandably opposed the move. Krasner was ordered to write apology letters to the family.
Ultimately, the actions of Krasner’s office were so outrageous in this case that a panel of judges disbarred his supervisor for repeatedly lying in an effort to overturn the conviction. Krasner’s subordinate, Nancy Winkelman, was also barred from handling cases before the court for three years.
In response, Krasner did what he always does: He suggested that the criticism furthered racism and threatened democracy. He declared that the criticism of his office “undermines the value of a vote in Philadelphia” and defended his staff as merely furthering the work of racial justice: “On the eve of Juneteenth, we should all remember that reform is necessary in every era. And that those who bring needed reform sometimes are made to pay a price.”
This is vintage Krasner. His office was found to be both dishonest and negligent, but the district attorney cites his own misconduct as proof that his office is fighting hard for racial justice.
It did not matter that in 2021 a court admonished Krasner for creating what amounted to an unconstitutional blacklist of police officers whom he would not call as witnesses, even if their testimony was required to convict a criminal.
It did not matter that Krasner was admonished by a state Supreme Court justice in 2022 for abusing the grand jury process in an unhinged effort to charge a police officer with a crime.
Krasner feeds a rage addiction with uncut, pure criminal justice crack. It is a formula that has served him well with the media and the voters. Like Atlanta’s Fani Willis, he actually turns court sanctions into a badge of honor with voters who distrust the police and the criminal justice system.
In fact, the more the courts condemn him, the more he suggests that the criticism is just evidence of a prejudiced, unjust legal system.
None of this comes as a surprise for a candidate who expressly adopted “F— around and find out:” as his 2025 reelection slogan. But courts are finding out a bit too much about how Krasner himself has been … well … messing around with the legal system.
Jonathan Turley is a law professor and the New York Times best-selling author of “Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution.“
Desperate to distract from the algae overwhelming the expensively-renovated Reflecting Pool, on Monday Donald J. Trump ordered Marco Rubio to skinny-dip in the green murk.
Reportedly, Rubio was taken aback by the extraordinary demand, but Trump roared, “Little Marco, you’ve got to take one for the team.”
By mid-morning, tourists gawking at the pool fiasco were stunned to see the Secretary of State doing a backstroke entirely naked except for his oversized Florsheims, which he appeared to be using as flippers.
Harland Dorrinson, who had traveled with his family from Akron, Ohio, initially recoiled at the sight of the nude Rubio, but later noted, “At least it wasn’t JD.”
I got super excited when I saw that the police arrested someone for vandalizing the Reflecting Pool but then I found out it wasn’t Trump
That person was later released when police discovered any attempt to do anything to the reflecting pool would only be an improvement.
Sounds like you’re desperate to distract from this story about Krasner.
Sounds like Krasner is a distraction from the reflecting pool.
President Donald J Trump has just announced his intent for dedication and use of the reflection pool as a bioengineered algae grow tank to fight global warming and in full support of the Left’s push for oil free energy. Greta Thunberg has indicated that she and her cult troupe of followers would set sail on a smaller version of the Free Palestine Express immediately to circumnavigate the tank. Ex President Barack Obama announces that his library would soon be open and accessible after satisfying multiple liens and charges for all concerned citizens (legal and illegal) doing research on bioengineered algae and Transvestism. There will be a donation jar at both front and back doors.
See how stupid your nonsense is now?

Phantom Vandals – No Bid Contractors
Donald Trump and Jeanine Pirro keep referencing alleged ‘vandals’ for the shoddy workmanship of Trump’s no-bid contractors. This charade has moved beyond the absurd.
No one has any clue who these ‘vandals’ are or what they did to create all that algea. Nor can anyone guess how these ‘vandals’ made all that paint peel off. But almost everyone suspects that Trump’s no-bid contractors lacked the expertise to renovate the reflecting pool.
Obama stiffs black minority Contractors on work performed at his Bribary…
The Bribary is privately owned and privately operated. It’s not US stuff. I don’t care what they do as long as I’m not there. It’s a monstrosity bunker and pitch dark if electric fails. 😏. Enough and move beyond their hatred.
It’s old and costly. Fill it in and plant lawn. It has a fountain. It was quite nice but its day is done. Thanks for trying DJT.
Prosecutors have probably had too much power for a long time. I think most prosecutors were aware of that, and they exercised that power with their professional ethics in mind, as well as their obligations to the courts and the public. A nonpartisan office, it is now too often found occupied by zealots in pursuit of distortions of justice in order to advance their own dangerous notions. The lack of ethical, vigorous advocacy on behalf of a victimized public is very, very depressing indeed. If the prosecution professional organizations cannot address this problem on their own, it will be time for the various legislative bodies to take steps to directly address this abuse of prosecutorial power and discretion.

Regardless of your politics why would ANYONE left or right wish to seek unrepentant murders released ?
Purportedly we all – left and right agree that the goal is a safer more just society.
It is important that the punishment for crimes is just – and often it is not – but the remedy is not for crime to go unpunished.
Is Krasner actually trying to claim these murderers were innocent ?
Krasner may be a shrewd operator, who knows his electorate doesn’t follow those details. This could all be an effort to build an image of someone who is striking a blow for “racial justice” in a city – like with many American cities – where every aspect of society is seen through a lens of racial grievance.
Why do I suspect JT will ignore the blatant illegal behavior of the trump administration?

Something much more interesting,
“I’ve been black for my entire life. I had to bring up the most racist thing I’ve ever heard [which] is the insinuation by Democrats that black and brown Americans are too stupid to get an ID to vote, just like everybody else.”
“I call this the soft bigotry of low expectations. Figuring out how to vote in this country is a very low bar, and we could all figure it out regard of your race, religion, color, or creed, and we should all want free and fair elections.”
“With me today — I’m not gonna pull mine out this time, but I have six forms of government-issued ID. How did I acquire that? Personal responsibility in this country. I’ve also heard a lot about Jim Crow here today. I’m here to tell you, Jim Crow is over, and I know it because my parents grew up in it.”
“And I think it’s actually insulting to those that actually experienced the ills of Jim Crow” to compare getting an ID to that era.
“Having an ID to vote in our national election should be a requirement, which is why I stand [here] today, urging my colleagues on the left to support this bill. If you want secure elections, if you want your vote to count, vote for the Save Act.”
— Wesley Hunt (R-TX)
“If you want secure elections…”
Were elections not secure today? Yesterday? in 2020? Please link to any proof you have that elections were not secure in the recent past.
And please, blanket statements, how about actual proof as in evidence put before a judge?

Not only did this guy commit voter fraud, he held a public office while not having a legal status which is required to hold public office.
It happens more than you think it does.
And how did this affect the election of Biden in 2020? ZIP, NADA, ZERO.
How about Peters convicted of her crimes in Colorado? She tried to get a technician access to voting equipment that was clearly illegal. She was caught, convicted and spent time in jail. How much of an effect did she have on the election? ZIP, NADA, ZERO.
Every election there are a few people that vote twice. Yep it happens Did ever affect the outcome of an election? ZIP, NADA, ZERO.
Oh please Professor Turley – please cover the arrests of the 5 VANDALS who ruined Trump’s PERFECT reflecting pool! We must bring these scofflaws to justice!!!!!
They caught them? Excellent! 10 years in federal prison for destruction of federal property! 👍
They are just “suspects” not perpetrators. Learn to read.
I read just fine you cranialrectosoid.
I think it’s great they caught them.
The penalty could be 10 years.
Let the courts work their magic.
I refuse to play the alleged alleged alled word game.
YES – THEY TOTALLY SLASHED 350 feet of the same American Blue rubber material that Trump one week before said was SOOOO strong you couldn’t cut it with the sharpest of knives! One of the vandals was an American Olympian! I hope he spends the rest of his life in jail for defiling Trumps PERFECT ALGAE POOL!
Shouldn’t this ruling crack open the door to civil suits against Krasner that may set aside his immunity on the grounds that he is intentionally failing to perform the proper duties of his office and that this malfeasance should expose him to liability for the harm done to others done by the release of these murderers? If so, and that door can be swung wide open, then the pool of leftist lawyers willing to be recruited by Soros might just start to shrink?
OT
See if you can understand this:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
The judicial branch just can’t come to grips with the fact that illegal aliens and the babies they bear in America are subject ONLY to the jurisdiction (i.e. the full, unqualified jurisdiction as it is written in the 14th) of their country of origin and that they are only subject to partial, or territorial, jurisdiction in the U.S.
The judicial branch just can’t grasp this.
You may be correct. Professor Turley is predicting that Trump will lose his birthright citizenship case.
https://dailycallernewsfoundation.org/2026/06/21/jonathan-turley-tom-dupree-offers-fox-news-shannon-bream-predictions-birthright-citizenship-late-election-day-ballots-supreme-court-cases/
I read Justice Thomas’ opinion for a correct reading first. Then the opinion of the court.
We know how the three liberals will vote. We’re also pretty sure Roberts will vote with them, so that’s four. They’ll also need either Kavanaugh or Barrett to swing. It’s less likely Thomas, Alito, or Gorsuch will swing, but Gorsuch could happen. If Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett hold fast, Trump wins 5-4.
OMFK I do not agree with Turley that SCOTUS will decide this on the basis of the 14th amendment – but I do not think they are going to decide in Trump’s favor – this is just outside the power of the executive.
I think they’ll decide it and overturn an opinion in Ark.
Thomas is often right when everyone else is wrong – but he is also on occasion way way way off.
“I think the administration knew going into this that this was going to be a heavy lift for them, precisely for that reason.”
“Judges year after year, decade after decade, have said that birthright citizenship is enshrined in our Constitution. I don’t think there’s going to be a change at the last minute.”

I agree that Trump will lose the Birthright citizenship case.
I also independently believe that Birthright citizenship is a good thing on NET.
But my expectation is that SCOTUS will rule that changing the citizenship of children born in the US of illegal immigrants is not within the power of the executive.
I doubt they will Clearly rule that it is within the power of congress – but I also think they will stop short of saying there is an absolute gurantee in the 14th amendment.
Partly because there isn’t and partly because SCOTUS tends not to decide issues that are not before it.
I believe there is enough ambiguity in the language of the 14th amendment that Congress can by statute dictate the citizenship of children born in the US of foreign parents.
my problem is the fly-in babies from all over the world-pregnant rich folks who can jump on a plane come to LA or NY or Miami and have a child who is viola’ a US citizen
There aren’t illegal immigrants. There are visitors, tourists, temporary conditions. There are foreign nationals.
The incredibly abused 14A. It’s a period piece.
It is too simple to say that Soros /Krasner and their ilk are cynically shouting “racism” to buy black votes. It must be that at some level they approve of the murder of innocent Americans. In other words, we are not dealing with dirty politics, but with a deep-seated emotional sickness.
edwardmahl,
The script they are running on is racism made them commit these crimes to include murder.
So, it is not really their fault at all and they should be freed to right a wrong even if it was a black on black murder.
None of this murder would be happening if all this racism was not running around.
Got a thing about black guys eh? Gay?
Where did I say anything about sexuality? I said, “black on black murder.”
Learn to read.
I do not think they are winning black votes with this.
The left and the democratic party are completely insane today – they are on the wrong side of myriads of 80:20 issues.
Who wants murderers to go free ?
Need I remind everyone that the draconian penalties for Crack Cocaine that are purportedly “racist” came about because the Black Caucus in congress demanded them – because Crack was obliterating their communities.
Blacks may beleive the justice system is biased against them – and not without some reason.
But few blacks want rampant crime, murders to go free, and drugs to be sold on every street corner.
As a rule the parents of young black male children want the police to crack down hard on the gangs etc that in a few years will try to take their sons.
It is the parents of teenage black male children – who part of drug gangs and are in danger of spending the rest of their lives in jail that are concerned about racism in justice.

Obviously the State Courts have no way to prevent this clown from continuing his corrupt practices sothere is no remedy.
I don’t understand why Krasner has not been disbarred from practicing law. Professor Turley, would you please address this issue? Thank you
Cause hes a great lawyer and amazing DA for Philly. 4 more years
You may want to talk to someone about your day drinking.
Violent crime in Philly is increasing – counter national trends.
Philly has a rate of violent crime 153% higher than the national average.

The accusations made against Krassner are by his fellow Democratic Judges. If he’s so great, why are his own aligned party judges issuing such a scathing opinion?
Do I need to add a N for Nozzle on your new tag?
How I wish Mr. Turley would examine Hennepin County (Minnesota) Attorney Mary Moriarty, who was previously a Hennepin County public defender. She’s on her way out the door, declining to run for re-election, but I have a hunch she did enormous damage to truly factually-based criminal prosecutions. Unless the defendant was law enforcement, she wasn’t much interested.
Professor Turley notes, “In response, Krasner did what he always does: He suggested that the criticism furthered racism and threatened democracy.”
AH, the two favorite buzz words/trigger words of the Left.
Neither one of them is true.
I am reminded of the recent jury verdict sentencing Black student Karmelo Anthony for the stabbing death of White student Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet, rejecting Anthony’s claims of “self-defense” and “sudden passion.” Watch the video, one of several.
https://theshaderoom.com/karmelo-anthony-grandmother-reacts-verdict-sentencing-video-austin-metcalf-shade-room/
Then the cry of “racism” spread to the nation’s Congress, who repeated, at a national level,” that “racism” was responsible for Anthony’s conviction: “House Democrats cry racism over Karmelo Anthony verdict”
https://capitalisminstitute.org/house-democrats-cry-racism-over-karmelo-anthony-verdict/
but….
“When elected officials tell the public a jury was all White and the evidence says it wasn’t, they aren’t fighting for justice. They’re undermining it. They are telling Americans, particularly Black Americans, that the system is rigged, even when the specific case they’re pointing to doesn’t support that conclusion.
“Four Black witnesses testified against [Anthony’s] self-defense claim. At least three minority jurors sat on the panel. The jury heard the evidence and returned a guilty verdict. A judge imposed a 35-year sentence.
“None of that stopped a group of House Democrats from walking to the microphones and calling it racism.”
All white jury means the jury hadn’t any blacks for surely if it had the jury would have hung. The verdict was a “white” verdict.
/s
Well, Thank you for affirming that our public is being persuaded and prepped– not to look at whether there was right or wrong, but whether the parties were Black or White.
Lin – the Babylon Bee has published a few articles on the Karmelo Anthony case.
They report, for example, that Obama said that if he had a son who stabbed someone in the heart with a knife, he would look just like Karmelo Anthony. And Karmelo is now kicking himself for not converting to Islam and just stabbing someone in the UK instead. Here’s one more:
Nation shocked as jury rules you cannot just stab someone in the heart
https://babylonbee.com/news/nation-shocked-as-jury-rules-you-cannot-stab-someone-in-the-heart-for-no-reason-at-all
😂. You can’t just stab someone in the heart for no reason at all.
Hello there NotSoOld: From the one-sentence summaries that you provide, I can laugh at the Obama “son” twist, and even the conversion to Islam one, —but this one, about the Anthony verdict, is a little drier and not particularly humorous in my opinion.
(I would have liked a more fact-based twist on Anthony’s actual words to victim Metcalf, i.e., “Touch me and see what happens.” for a humorous muse. Or maybe Anthony’s actual words to arresting officers asking if what he did could be considered “self defense?” This last one that you mention just wasn’t up to the humour that I like to see from the BB.)
Love the English language displayed on the protest poster, “Karmelo Anthony Shouldn’t Do No Time!”
And, Instagram user @__itsher__ added, “This pic don’t seem right bc it’s giving off slave and it’s upsetting me“
This Instagram user @zenokeylan claimed, “…it is what it is gotta kno ya laws“
Meanwhile, Instagram user @imqueendiamond wrote, “Sending a baby to prison for defending himself is so sad 💔”
While Instagram user @1frankjordon said, “Dis sh*t moving faster than Mexican music“
Lastly, Instagram user @_renerenee added, “How tf he go to TDCJ already ?????? They usually take forever to catch chain wtf“
The audio- he touched me?
If the jury had been all black and the deceased black would the jury be able to apply the law without taint or is there a wholly different standard among the community?
Please, it’s absurd. The sadnesses are in the murdered young man and a youth trained to kill if insulted. Stabbed in the heart is unsurvivable.
Racism is prepped to determine an ability to apply the law within various groups.
When is a stab to the heart for no reason at all ever right is humorous.
It does lead to an insanity defense. Knowing a law and having an ability to apply the law are two separate things. It’s interesting.
I’m happy he’s off the streets.
I am not familiar with all the details of this case – but based on what I have been told by sources I trust – there is virtually no basis for a self defense claim.
Anythony sought out Metcalf – you can not be the aggressor and assert self defense.
The “touch me and see what happens remark is a problem for the defense. Again it makes Anthony the aggressor.
Even if MetCalf grabbed Anthony – absent Anthony’s actions being a threat to life or serious bodily injury – you still can not use deadly force – not even in self defense – where the force you are defending against is not itself deadly force.
Further – even in castle doctrine and stand your ground states – if you are the aggressor – you MUST RETREAT before you can claim self defense.
Exquisitely so by the hoaxster, Obama. Well done.
There’s Clinton and Bush as seen in the privately owned and operated Obama Presidential Center to help? Obama keeps nothing paper in it. It’s all digitized. It’s very disappointing but as Barack has said, I’m just doing my job.
I think they lose. 😏. On topic, why hasn’t Krasner been charged with crimes?
So those African-Americans, who testified against him must’ve been white too
Certainly they were not the killer. Certainly they were not jurors and on video as present at the scene.
“The verdict was a “white” verdict” thanks to the white Hispanics and white Asians on the jury.
2/3 of the jury was white – the jury was not “all white”
Batson v. Kentucky in 1986 found that prosecutors can not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, or sex, in jury selection.
I only wish that one of those violent illegal aliens would do to his family like what one did to Lincoln Riley. Better yet, send him to Gaza as a legal advisor to Hamas, whom I have no doubt he supports
STFU boomer. Can you name another nonpretty white folks to have been harmed the Riley one is boring.
ESAD, please.
whys the right alwasy using violent rhetoric. just rude boomer
IDK Maybe they done wit it?! Whys da left always killing folks?
No the right is not the font of violent rhetoric – they are not even close to as rhetorically violent as the left.
But what really matters is that they are not even close to ACTUALLY as violent as the left.
You are the one who is rude.
Make an argument.
When you in stupid fallacies – like ad hominem you make yourself look stupid.
One of those Murderous commies I’ve been telling you about right here.
Communism is illegal in the United States.
actually its not
See how deranged trump supporters are? A statement like “Communism is illegal in the United States.” Such blithering idiots.
Not so – communism is not illegal – it is unconstitutional.
You can advocate for communism all you want.
But you can not bring it about without amending or replacing the constitution.
Correct – it is unconstitutional.
White is beautiful
Everyone you do not like – is not a boomer – regardless each and every generation owes the wonderful world it has inherited to the prior generation.
Boomers have given you a world that is more propserous, less racist, sexist, violent and more peaceful than any before.
So far it does not look like you are likely to do the same for your children – if you even have children.
When can we expect his disbarrment?
Never. Krasner for Gov
No how egregious their argument or actions, “threat to democracy” is their knee jerk rallying cry.
Kranser is the man. Shame all you ppl mad that he is freeing wrongly convicted folks. FAFO.
^^ So says the low-intelligence big mouth who can’t spell or formulate a proper sentence. You are anti-law enforcement, and anti-education. America has no use for your destructive beliefs and behavior.
boring. and he’ll win again. so stfu boomer
ad hominem is not argument.
And whether you like it or not – this is very bad for Krasner.
When the PA Supreme court does not trust you – you can not do your job.
Krasner and his people LIED to the courts – this could easily result in a DOJ investigation of Philadelphia, if Court result in criminal prosecutions.
Regardless, it WILL result in harm – it will make things WORSE for people who are actually innocent – or for people who may be guilty but did not get a fair trial or sentence.
You seem to be clueless the extent to which you are undermining your own causes.
“Kranser is the man.”
Very weak trolling. Go back to Pre-K Trolling and start over.
i mean he is. hes great and the philly folks love him so your opinion means… nothing.
so, like, you don’t even know me! You’re not my dad! vibes here
That will do little good if he is disbarred or in jail.
The findings of the PA Supreme court are horrific. Frankly they let Kranser off easy.
It is in their power to refer him for disbarrment.
It is in their power to just disbar him themselves.
This was a shot across the bow – if he keeps it up – that is likely where they are going.
You do not seem to grasp =- this is NOT Trump’s DOJ that just told Krasner to stop this illegal nonsense – this is one of the more left leaning state supreme courts in the country.
While this was NOT Trump’s DOJ – I have ZERO doubt they noticed this and likely will be investigating – and they have a great deal of power.
There are possible criminal charges, and Krasner might not be allowed to continue if he is facing criminal charges.
😂
Ok bye yall
“Kranser is the man.” Thanks for clarifying, Never can tell these days but are you a biologist? Is there a biologist in the house?
But the Pennsylvania Supreme Court disagrees with you and Krasner Found Out after FAing. unless you know someone named ‘Kranser’.
Did you read the blog where it details scumbagginess?
Well, the PA SC just beeotch slapped your “man” down.
How marvelous!
My wife is the head of the public defender appelate unit in my county in PA – over DECADES she has gotten TWO people completely aquitted on appeal – they are on the nationwide exonerated list. In the whole country over decades the number of people exhonerated after conviction is barely over 1000. Even the most liberal estimates have less than 2.5% of those in prison who are ACTUALLY INNOCENT.
I completely 100% support justice for innocent people unjustly convicted – and it does happen.
But Krasner and those like him are making that HARDER – not easier. The very left wing PA Supreme court just put Krasners appellant unit under the supervision of the PA AG’s office. For LYING to the court REPEATEDLY.
Aside from the immediate consequence that legitimate appeals and PCRA’s in Philly will be harder – this will undermine ALL efforts to get justice for those wrongly convicted.
It is hard enough getting the courts to reverse a conviction when there are problems now – it is only going to be that much harder int he future.
Further those on the right will use Krasners conduct to justify even more draconian criminal legislation.
While Obama was president – there was an opportunity for actual criminal justice reform – there ARE things we KNOW that work – not perfectly – But I would be VERY HAPPY with revisions to our justice system that result in a 30% drop in recidivism. That is doable – it costs money, and time, and it si not a one size fits all solution – it requires focusing resources on convicted criminals with the best chance to turn their lives arround – that is NOT most of them.
Regardless Obama and Democrats chose NOT to come to the table to work together on reasonable reform and that infected criminal justice throughout the country – and resulted in what we have with the “sorros prosecutors” – People who blindly do stupid political things that do not work – forcing policies on us all and to everyone’s deteriment. This has resulted in a hard swing right on criminal justice – YOU DID THAT.
