Philadelphia DA Refuses to Prosecute Criminals

The Philadelphia DA refuses to prosecute criminals.

District Attorney Lawerence S. Krasner has shown increasingly progressive and leniency towards drug dealers and gang leaders throughout the city of Philadelphia.

Krasner’s policies have increased crime, murders, rioting, looting, and open attacks on police. Then they...tell the police to stand down don’t take action, don’t make an arrest. Why would they abandon its citizenry...”?
- Retired Officer Ramos

Compared to his predecessor Seth Williams’ average conviction rates, Krasner has dropped or lost 26 percent more felony cases. He has dismissed or lost 14 percent more robbery cases, 37 percent more car theft cases, and 21 percent more drug sales cases.

In his first two years in office, Krasner dropped or lost 47 percent of all illegal firearms cases—a rate 42 percent higher than under Williams. And Krasner’s rate of gun violence convictions is 21 percent lower than his predecessor.

Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw spoke out this week, she implied criticism of Krasner as a revolving-door prosecutor: “When we make arrests, we need to ensure that the rest of the criminal justice system is aligned with our efforts and our goals.”

U.S. Attorney McSwain has publicly made the case that Krasner’s leniency sends “a message that violent crime has little consequences”. McSwain went on to state "The staggering homicide and shooting rates in Philadelphia are proof that the district attorney’s radical experiment has failed”.

Instead of putting criminals behind bars, DA Krasner has spent much of his time providing pro bono defense for groups such as ACT UP, Black Lives Matter, as well as many other radical progressive organizations.
