Philadelphia DA Krasner Could Face Charges

This story is from The Other McCain. LARRY KRASNER IS COOKED! Philly D.A. Could Face Federal Charges

NEVER LIE TO THE JUDGE! On any list of “Things a Lawyer Should Never Do,” lying to the judge must always be No. 1. Let me summarize this complex story as briefly as possible: With financial backing from George Soros, Larry Krasner became Philadelphia’s District Attorney in 2018, and immediately instituted a policy of leniency, which he sought to make retroactive by cooperating with the Innocence Project to overturn previous convictions.

Because there is nothing that the Left loves more than to turn violent criminals free.

I'm no monster, and innocent people should not be in prison. That isn't what was going on here.

There is one particular case, that is causing Krasner problems. It is the case of Dennis Johnson, who was convicted of murdering Kenyatta Smith in a convenience store in 2007.

The DA was eager to see the conviction overturned, but when the judge in the case started holding hearings on the matter, panic set in. Krasner apparently pressured staffers to lie to the judge, to the point where Judge Paul S. Diamond referred the matter to the US Attorney's office, saying that the DA might have committed conspiracy or obstruction of Justice. Krasner and Matthew Stiegler (a supervisor in the DA's office) can no longer work on Dennis Johnson's case, as per Judge Diamond.

It isn't clear (to me) why Stiegler was included in that restriction, but I have not researched every detail about this case. Yet.

Ace of Spades has a good rundown here. I am not a lawyer, and understand that Larry Krasner is “presumed innocent,” yadda yadda yadda, but based on my four decades of experience as a journalist, it is my opinion that Krasner is guilty — GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY!

Click thru for the meme (you have to page down) and more details. OK, it isn't exactly a meme. It is a frame from an old, and once venerated comic, Doonesbury. (The author of the comic, seems to have a severe case of TDS these days. I'm afraid it might be terminal.)
