Pa. Supreme Court orders AG oversight of Krasner’s post-conviction concessions

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court, in a 4-3 decision, ruled Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner’s post-conviction concessions in a murder case were unreliable and ordered the state Attorney General to review such concessions before relief is granted, creating a new check on Krasner’s Conviction Integrity Unit and potentially affecting over 1,000 pending cases; the ruling was welcomed by PA AG Dave Sunday as accountability but criticized by Krasner as undermining democracy.
