Philadelphia Soros DA Larry Krasner May Have Committed Perjury to the Court to Get a Convicted, Guilty Murderer Off

Larry Krasner and his "prosecutors" have been questioned and accused by judges of deliberately misstating evidence to contrive reasons to free guilty murders from jail.

Two of his "prosecutors" have been disbarred over their flagrant crimes before the court-- all to support meritless appeals so that guilty murders could go free.

Krasner is a full supporter of the left's "decarceration" agenda and believes no one should be in prison -- not rapists, not killers, not child sex abusers -- and he's not shy about saying so and he's not shy about putting his communist believes into practice.

Krasner hasn't said a word about a growing exoneration controversy -- but his own court filing does

The 47-page filing paints a picture of a district attorney unbowed by the controversy that has roiled his office.

...

Despite admitting "serious errors" in the original motion that said Dennis Johnson was entitled to a new trial, the filing contains no contrition or introspection by Philadelphia's DA.

In the world according to Krasner, he's right and everyone else is wrong.

Krasner's worldview is hardened by his decades as a public defender and criminal defense attorney before getting elected district attorney in 2017. In the second paragraph of the filing, Krasner's office blames prior district attorneys for violating "their constitutional duties" to secure convictions.

...

The reversal came after U.S. District Judge Paul S. Diamond ordered an evidentiary hearing in May. That prompted supervisors in Krasner's office to take a closer look at the case, where they discovered "material omissions" in their initial concession claim.

...

Here's the bigger problem: That appears to be the way Krasner's office has handled other post-conviction cases. Under Krasner, more than 60 people convicted -- mainly of murder -- have been set free or had their sentences reduced following concessions despite no incontrovertible proof of the person's innocence.

...

Regardless of the outcome, Krasner appears determined to keep conceding cases.

Krasner's main technique of freeing killers is lying about the DAs who secured the conviction withholding evidence from the killer. He simply makes these "Brady violations" up.

And for a long time, no one challenged him on his lies.

In recent months, supervisors in Krasner's office have been disbarred and suspended for lying in federal court while seeking to overturn the death sentence of a man convicted of killing a couple in their home in East Mount Airy.

In June, the state Supreme Court ordered judges to ask the state attorney general's office to review any cases where Krasner's office wants to alter a sentence or overturn a past conviction.

That unprecedented ruling came after the high court found prosecutors in Krasner's office misled judges in several post-conviction cases. The court said it could no longer trust the word of Krasner's prosecutors.

Now a federal judge says that Larry Krasner might face criminal perjury charges.

Apparently one of his lawyers began to get very worried about Krasner's perjuries and obstructions, and suggested it was time to turn over the case to the state attorney's general's office so that an unbiased office could handle the case.

Krasner ordered him to not talk to anyone about the corrupt workings of his communist office.

A federal judge believes DA Larry Krasner may have broken the law, and he referred the case to the U.S. Attorney's Office

U.S. District Judge Paul S. Diamond said he believed Krasner and one of his top supervisors, Matthew Stiegler, may have committed perjury, conspiracy, or obstruction of justice.

A federal judge said Tuesday that District Attorney Larry Krasner may have broken the law while overseeing a contentious post-conviction case, and he said he referred the matter to the U.S. Attorney's Office to investigate whether Krasner should be charged with crimes including conspiracy or obstruction of justice.

U.S. District Judge Paul S. Diamond made those stunning statements in a memorandum in which he also ruled that Krasner and one of his top supervisors, Matthew Stiegler, could no longer participate in the case -- a matter in which a man is seeking to have his murder conviction overturned.

Diamond wrote that over the last several months, as he conducted hearings to learn more about how attorneys in the district attorney's office handled that case, testimony from some of Krasner's staffers revealed actions by Krasner and Stiegler that Diamond called "troubling," "disturbing" -- and potentially illegal.

...

Those actions, he wrote, included pressuring other staffers to take steps to protect Stiegler and blame one of his subordinates, urging staffers to lie to Diamond in court, and threatening "consequences" for those who did not follow Krasner's orders.

"I have thus reluctantly concluded that Philadelphia's highest law enforcement official and one of his top assistants may have violated the law," Diamond wrote. "In these circumstances, with the issuance of this Memorandum, I refer the DAO, Mr. Krasner, and Stiegler to this District's United States Attorney's Office for investigation and other appropriate action."

...

[I]n recent months, the case has led to a series of unusual revelations about the inner workings of the district attorney's office as various lawyers have worked on aspects of the case. And it comes as Krasner's office has faced increasing scrutiny over the way it has acted in other murder appeals -- including a forceful opinion from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, which said Krasner's office had misled judges so frequently and flagrantly in such matters that state prosecutors must now review instances when his office says a conviction should be overturned.

Diamond, in his filing Tuesday, said the assertions in his courtroom -- made primarily by members of Krasner's staff -- were not only proof of significant internal disagreements about Johnson's case, but also "evidence of possible criminal wrongdoing by Mr. Krasner and Stiegler."

Some of Krasner's underlings wanted to refer the contentious case to the state's attorney's office -- but Krasner didn't want them to talking about him to outsiders.

But Krasner, they testified, was vehemently opposed -- in part because of his disdain for people who worked in the attorney general's office. And during some meetings, they said, Krasner said he wanted to "protect the office"; expressed opposition to telling Diamond about the referral deliberations; and said they would face "consequences" if they did so, which they took to mean being fired.

Diamond, in his memorandum, said such a threat "could amount to obstruction of justice." And he said the efforts by Krasner and Stiegler to present a false narrative to the court "might amount to conspiracy."
