    Philly DA Krasner is silent as controversy grows. His court filing isn’t. | Paul Davies (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    District Attorney Larry Krasner didn’t attend the dramatic three-day evidentiary hearing recently in which four supervisors from his office testified about his conflicts of interest, job threats, and other inappropriate steps, following efforts to overturn a murder case. But Krasner’s take on the imbroglio can be found throughout a recent 47-page federal court filing by his office. The filing paints a picture of a district attorney unbowed by the controversy that has roiled his office. Krasn

    After 25 years, hers is the 9/11 story I can’t let go of | Paul Davies (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In the weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, I went to New York to report on a story about Johanna Sigmund, a young woman from Wyndmoor who perished after one of the hijacked planes rammed the north tower. Over the course of my career, I’ve spent more time than anyone would want writing pieces about people whose lives were cut short prematurely. One of the most memorable was Johanna, whose story and positive spirit remain seared into my soul. Johanna’s parents invited me, a strange

    There were so many jaw-dropping moments in U.S. District Court Judge Paul S. Diamond’s courtroom on Thursday that it is hard to know where to begin. For starters, I had a stint covering courts in the mid-2000s, and have never seen a courtroom packed with so many lawyers — including lawyers representing lawyers — for a hearing in an exoneration case. An overflow room was needed to handle the rapt onlookers. The hearing grew out of efforts by Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner’s

    Krasner's candor problem started with his first exoneration win | Paul Davies (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    A number of judges have called out District Attorney Larry Krasner’s office for lying and sloppy lawyering in several recent exoneration cases. A supervisor in Krasner’s office was disbarred last year for repeatedly lying while attempting to overturn a death penalty conviction. In June, another former supervisor was suspended from the region’s federal courts for three years for her role in attempting to mislead a judge in the same case. Last month, a former assistant district attorney said

    Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner’s exoneration push faces a reckoning | Paul Davies (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    No one should have to spend even a single day behind bars for a crime they did not commit. But in his zeal to right legal wrongs, District Attorney Larry Krasner lost the plot. Since first getting elected in November 2017, Krasner, a former defense and civil rights attorney, has pushed for scores of exonerations for people convicted mainly of murder. But, it turns out, most are not exonerations in which the convict’s innocence is proven through incontrovertible evidence, such as DNA. Instead,
