Federal judge punts Philly DA Krasner to DOJ probe over post-conviction conduct
TL;DR
A federal judge referred Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner to the U.S. Department of Justice for a possible probe into his conduct handling a post-conviction case involving Dennis Johnson, disqualifying Krasner and an assistant DA, and describing “troubling” actions including pressure on staff to mislead the court; Krasner plans to appeal, and it’s unclear who will carry the Johnson case going forward, with some talk of routing it to the Pennsylvania Attorney General.
