Pa. House committee votes to impeach Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner, measure moves to House floor

"When you bring change, the reality is that there are certain entities who don't want change." Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner joined "Good Day Philadelphia" to discuss the violence plaguging the city and impeachment efforts against him. Krasner doubled down on his policies and says resigning is not on his mind.

According to the Philadelphia DAO, 83% of trial-ready fatal shooting cases result in a conviction and the trial-ready conviction rate for all homicides is 87%. For non-fatal shootings, the office says there is a 79% conviction rate in trial-ready cases. The office did highlight a backlog of open cases, attributing it to court closures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and said the backlog is contributing to overall conviction rates.

Krasner's office says attacks on large cities and progressive district attorneys distracts from the need to focus on gun violence across the state, with the office saying Chester, Allegheny, Berks, Lehigh and Luzerne counties saw a larger increase in homicides from 2019 - 2021 than Philadelphia. Now that the vote on the impeachment resolution has been cast, the measure moves to the state House floor for another round of voting.

Hopefully they can wipe this shit stain away from Philly

Krasner is a complete joke as DA. If he thinks getting 150000 is a landslide he should reconsider everything he does.

Great News.

Larry should be held accountable for all the victims in his district…he is too soft on criminals!

Hope it happens

Can't wait until he gets the boot in killadelphia

Krasner won't leave. He will ignore law enforcement.

Democracy has been restored

jbmhwy37 He sure needs to lay off the Botox. Yikes.

Yet the left had no problem impeaching Trump on lies…

Yeah sure, the problems with Krasner...

Get him out

DBrogno67 Great. House impeach Krasner. Senate convict Krasner. Then disbar, arrest & convict Larry Krasner for falsely impersonating a District Attorney.

Can't wait til he perp walks his ass out of his office, box in hand. And the media BETTER be there filming the whole thing!!!!!

Impeached Bitch, BITCHES!!!1111

Which will equal nothing

This would be a great first step for Philly! I miss being able to safely go into the city and have a great time on South Street or Delaware Avenue. Or walk around center city. As of now, you literally risk your life.

8 people are fools.
