Pa. attorney general must review cases Philly DA wants to overturn, state Supreme Court rules
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — In an extraordinary ruling from Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court, if the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office wants to overturn a conviction in state court, the state Attorney General’s Office must be given the chance to review the case and make sure a proper investigation was done.
The order comes as a King's Bench petition, which is basically a mechanism for the high court to take over a case and review it. The case at hand involved Lavar Brown, a man convicted of killing two men in the early 2000s and sentenced to death row.
In their opinion, the five Democratic and two Republican justices said District Attorney Larry Krasner has “numerous instances of untrustworthy concessions, lack of candor, misrepresentations of fact, lack of adequate investigation, and avoidance of hearings” and is “unreliable.”
They said when a district attorney fails to follow through on their duties it “does not minister justice, it facilitates injustice.”
The high court said because “the problems are poised to continue,” it’s now requiring the Attorney General to intervene on behalf of the commonwealth.
“It is only in Philadelphia County that there has been a pronounced, documented pattern of highly problematic prosecutorial concessions,” the judges added.
In a video posted on the District Attorney's Office YouTube channel, Krasner decried the high court's decision.
“Does that help democracy? No. It actually undermines the value of a vote in Philadelphia as compared to every other county,” he said.
“Does it help with safety? We've already seen that there being integrity in the system and correcting the mistakes of the past builds trust, makes people more willing to go to court, to testify, to contact the police.”

The Soros DA's record of dishonesty is so bad that he's no longer allowed to try and exonerate convicted murderers without supervision by the state to ensure he's not misleading the Court to free murderers.
But whatever you do, don't say progressives Democrats and the plague of Soros funded DA's are pro-crime.
I see apparently there's nothing else happening in politics these days, it's so boring you bring out an obscure district attorney fight from PA to try and attack Democrats with. "Soros this! Soros that!" Yup, definitely not trying to deflect and distract from the massive fucking meltdown of the shitty Iran deal that even hardline Trump defenders are having a hard time figuring out how to defend its so monstrously indefensible. I see you're trying the old "What Trump Iran deal? I don't know what you're talking about, but how about that Geroge Soros!?! Am I right? Let's see if I can gin up some hate for a Jewish billionaire! That always got my fellow rightwing conservatives underoos in a bunch!".
Lets get real - they will do anything to be able to avoid dealing with the monumental fuck up that is the Donald Trump presidency. If they can distract from the main problem with something about a PA. d.a. then that is what they will do.
Trump needs to be impeached and removed asap.
obscure district attorney fight from PA
what are you talking about? The state supreme court said the district attorney for Philadelphia cannot be trusted to tell the truth. It’s not a “district attorney fight”
can you ever discuss anything without deflecting to trump?
Trump needs to be impeached and removed asap
progressive district attorney for a major American city is so dishonest court won’t allow him to handle cases without supervision.
progressive response? “Impeach trump”
Priceless..
Trump is the biggest problem facing the USA today.
LOL. Your response to Trump fucking up everything he touches is to complain about a Pennsylvania district attorney.
By the way, what was your response to Trump prosecutors in the northern district of illinois misrepresenting to the court the evidence against the Broadview Six? Did you seed an article about that ?
Who the fuck is going to replace him? Let him stew until after the 2026 elections so we can steer towards 2028
I honestly think even McGuyliner would be a much better President at this point. Everyone in the administration is just dancing to the whims of a mentally deficient megalomaniacal narcissist, at this point Darth Hater couldn't be any worse.
Pathetic, yet expected, deflection aside, now you have to have a legitimate, justified reason. Remember, your hurt feelings and tantrums don't qualify.
And completely unrelated to this article. Yet here you and other are pathetically deflecting to him.
Trump has zero to do with this. Zero. Does Trump consume you to the point where he is the only topic you can discuss? Is there any wrongdoing you won't excuse by saying "But Trump!"
The DA' office in a major city lying to Judges to free convicted murderers is a big deal. Maybe you are used to that concept. I'm not.
Did you seed an article about that ?
No. I'd never heard of it. And from looking into it seems some prosecutors were overzealous in keeping biased jurors off the grand jury and lost the case because of it. The "Broadview 6" were guilty as sin. But, of course, since Democrats don't apply the law to their own, they couldn't be convicted.
Tribalism and ideological conformity destroyed the jury system in England. The ancient right to trial by jury has been sacrificed to the God of diversity. That right has been take away because the system can't work when jurors don't apply the law equally. Just another foretaste of what progressives will bring to America.
