Philadelphia’s pro-criminal district attorney has so abused his position that he has been reprimanded by the Democratic-controlled Pennsylvania Supreme Court, which has appointed the state’s Republican attorney general as his new personal babysitter.Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner (D) attempted to grant a new trial to convicted murderer Lavar Brown, but the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned the attempt, saying that his office’s concession of needing a new trial was “not reliable.”
What the state Supreme Court found is that Krasner was lying to the courts, and not just in Brown’s case. As the justices wrote, Krasner’s concession had failed to disclose material evidence, submitted a false stipulation, and opposed a required evidentiary hearing, among other issues. The justices also wrote that, since 2018, Krasner’s office has “conceded relief well over 100 times, mostly in murder cases like this one,” and that there “have been 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.”
This is pretty crazy: The 5-2 Democrat Court finds Larry Krasner is so quick to falsely concede error in murder cases (to try to free convicted murderers) that it has tasked the Pennsylvania Attorney General with checking to make sure he's not lying.
