Larry Krasner's Office Keeps Freeing Murderers, No Matter the Costhttps://hotair.com/john-s-2/2026/08/31/larry-krasners-office-keeps-freeing-murderers-no-matter-the-cost-n3818546Just shy of four years ago I wrote about a case in which DA Larry Krasner's office had freed a convicted murderer and then the same man, Jahmir Harris, became a suspect in another, very similar murder. The judge had agreed to vacate the previous conviction in 2021, but still had some criticism for Krasner's Conviction Integrity Unit.
...
I looked up the outcome of this case and Jahmir Harris was in fact arrested and charged with the Sept. 2022 murder of Charles Gossett but so far it seems that case hasn't been prosecuted.
In any case, this isn't the only time Krasner's office has gotten in trouble for trying to free a convicted murderer. Last year a supervisor in Krasner's office was disbarred for lying to the court over another case.
...
Just two months ago another member of Krasner's team had her license to practice law suspended for lying to a judge about the same case.

Specifically, the murderer in this case killed a couple then turned off the heat in their house and left their 7-month-old daughter to die. The baby survived and when Krasner's office sought to overturn the death penalty, his lawyers informed the judge that the victim's family approved of the effort. In fact they had never contacted the surviving daughter, Lisa Hart-Newman, at all. That's the kind of lawyers Krasner hires: ideologues with no shame. The judge ordered Krasner to write an apology letter to the surviving daughter.
...
And all of that brings us to last week where Krasner's team was in court again trying to help free yet another convicted murderer. But thanks to his office's previous missteps the court was full of attorneys including three from his own office who argued the case was being mishandled.
...
But the biggest revelation during last Thursday's hearing was testimony from Ernst, one of the three lawyers still working for Krasner, that he had threatened to fire anyone who told the judge about problems with the case.
Whether gross incompetence or planned sabotage, your choice. Given how long these antics have been going on without correction, I think it's sabotage. But either way, residents of Philadelphia are "enjoying" the fruit of their stupid voting choices.
