It seems as though I wrote too soon. Yes, the previous article, Larry Krasner gets bitch-slapped by the state Supreme Court, remains accurate and valid, but just this morning, only a few hours after the previous post was published here and on the American Free News Network, readers of The Philadelphia Inquirer are learning that the District Attorney’s Office has gotten yet another slap across the mouth, from another court.

A former supervisor in DA Larry Krasner’s office has been suspended in federal court

The development comes just one day after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court sharply curtailed Krasner’s office’s ability to seek to overturn old convictions and accused its lawyers of misleading judges.

A former supervisor in Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner’s office has been suspended from the region’s federal courts, a development that comes just one day after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court sharply curtailed the office’s ability to seek to overturn old convictions and accused its lawyers of misleading judges.

Nancy Winkelman was suspended for three years by a panel of federal judges who found that she was complicit in efforts to mislead a federal judge while seeking to overturn the death sentence of a man convicted of killing an East Mount Airy couple in the 1980s and allow him to serve life in prison instead.

The ruling, made public this week, adds to the mounting judicial scrutiny of post-conviction work in Krasner’s office. On Tuesday, the state Supreme Court imposed remarkable new restrictions on prosecutors’ efforts to reverse potentially problematic convictions.

As both of my long-term readers know, I am opposed to capital punishment — though the release of the United Kingdom’s Rape Gang Inquiry Report makes me think that His Grace King Henry VIII might be handling such a thing better — but attorneys cannot lie to or attempt to mislead judges in a court of law.

Krasner said in a statement Wednesday night that Winkelman is an exceptional attorney who left a lucrative private law practice to serve the public. He said she always showed “exceptional competence and integrity and contributed mightily to needed reform.”

“On the eve of Juneteenth,” he said, “we should all remember that reform is necessary in every era. And that those who bring needed reform sometimes are made to pay a price.”

It’s good to know that the District Attorney considers helping to “mislead” a federal court to be “exceptional competence and integrity.” People always suspected that, but it’s good that he has admitted it.

There’s a lot more at the newspaper’s original, and none of it is in any way flattering to Mr Krasner or the District Attorney’s Office as a whole.
