Reply to comment by Electr_O_Purist in Commonwealth Court sides with Philly DA Larry Krasner in impeachment lawsuit by boundfortrees
Well there was that time when Krasner requested a sentence reduction for a man giving a life sentence for the brutal murder of a husband and wife. At the hearing, they blatantly lied to the judge saying that the victims now grown child was notified about the hearing and had no problem with it. Total bullshit, never notified, never agreed to it. Somehow stories such as this isn't worth the Philadelphia Inquirer's time.

Downvoting this with an explanation: people who make vague references like this do it with intention: to control the narrative. We only have as much information as you give us, so we can’t see it from any perspective but yours. Your job is done though, you’ve already spread your view. We could asks for links and have a conversation about whether what you’re saying is accurate or even fits here, but it’s all under your original framing, which is the part you want to promote anyway. In other words, you’re trolling and it shows.

Or you know instead you could look it up, since it actually happened.
And this wasn't the only time he got reprimanded by judges for bad conduct.

Oh, would you look at that. The sentence reduction was from the death penalty to life without parole. Wow, what a monster!

The issue is that he lied in court, which is why he was reprimanded by the judge, the issue that the other user was alluding to.

K, shouldn’t have done that. Didn’t help the case. Isn’t an abuse of the office.

Expect he has a track record of getting slapped down by judges for lying or just straight up trying to rewrite laws.

You don’t have much experience with the judicial system, do you?

Alright, so I read it. I mean, I’m not going to defend it, but, under no possible reading of this is it an impeachable offense. People who worked for Krasner suggested to a court that a victim said something they didn’t…yeah, lawyers are manipulative, scummy people. Welcome to adulthood. It’s not a crime that abuses the office. The judge rejected the claim anyway, Pennsylvania doesn’t really put people on death row to death. In fact, most people on death row get their sentences reduced to life.

Hey, thanks for posting this inquirer article (in response to your post about how the inquirer can’t be bothered to cover). Off to a good start! Now I’m gonna read it.

Different user, I'd didn't say they didn't cover it.
