The Pennsylvania Supreme Court slapped down Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner for repeatedly misleading state courts and withholding evidence in various cases in which his office tried to toss out murder convictions, ordering the state attorney general to review any future convictions he seeks to reverse.The high court in the Keystone State, which features a heavily Democratic bench, issued a forceful opinion Tuesday reversing a lower court’s decision to give convicted murderer Lavar Brown a new trial, finding Krasner’s office’s concession that a new trial was needed was “not reliable.” The state Supreme Court found that Krasner’s office lied to the lower court about facts and previous pleadings, withheld material evidence, opposed efforts by the families of the victims to include the withheld evidence, “failed to conduct a reasonable investigation” of the case, and violated its duty of candor, which requires lawyers to be truthful to courts, when seeking to toss the conviction. The panel also found these infractions were part of a pattern from the progressive Philadelphia district attorney in other bids to toss convictions.“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; it facilitates injustice,” the ruling reads.
