In 1981, Philadelphia Police Officer Danny Faulkner was murdered by Mumia Abu-Jamal.[1] A racially diverse jury convicted Jamal of first-degree murder and sentenced him to death. Since then, he has pursued endless appeals in state and federal courts. Although his death sentence was overturned on a technicality, his conviction has been repeatedly affirmed.
Throughout this lengthy process, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was zealously represented by three previous district attorneys. But now the defense of Abu-Jamal’s conviction is in the hands of District Attorney Larry Krasner, the self-styled “public defender with power,” who during his short time in office has established an appalling record of undercharging violent criminals and astonishing indifference to the interests of crime victims.
Krasner was elected district attorney with a $1 million-plus contribution from billionaire George Soros. While this contribution dwarfed all fundraising by previous D.A. candidates, Soros appears to have gotten his progressive money’s worth in Krasner.
After 37 years of appeals, Abu-Jamal has filed a motion for a new trial based on evidence of alleged misconduct by the trial prosecutor that reportedly was only recently discovered and produced by Krasner’s office. How it remained undiscovered all these years is a mystery. But equally mysterious is why Krasner’s office has never consulted the accused trial prosecutor — who is still very much alive and reachable by a local telephone call — concerning either the newly discovered evidence or the allegations of misconduct.
Instead of contesting those accusations, Krasner’s office text-messaged Maureen Faulkner, the murdered police officer’s long-suffering widow, that it was consenting to allow a hearing to proceed on these allegations. The failure to even consult the trial prosecutor and the unwarranted consent to a hearing on those allegations raised serious questions regarding Krasner’s intentions and his willingness to zealously oppose this latest move by Abu-Jamal

Sanders is pro-criminal as well as pro-Communist (forgive the redundancy): Bernie Sanders Is Very, Very Happy About Larry Krasner’s Win. The Vermont senator congratulated Krasner on becoming the city's Democratic district attorney candidate.
‘Reform’ = promote chaos and mayhem
Fry Mumia!
Just like the wise Latina congratulating Chesea Boudin.
Where’s Epstein’s wet workers when you need them?

Enemies foreign, enemies domestic ALERT! HEY, Civil Asset Forfeiture of the riches could be put to good use. Right, Hillary?
First things first, I guess.
‘Where’s Epstein’s wet workers when you need them?”
Where’s Ghislaine? Rubbing down the beached whale in Israel?
I see Ep’s Civil Asset Forfeiture is being put to good use.
“in order to form a more perfect union” C’mon...SERIOUSLY?
Sorry...the beached whale is Weinstein. Epstein is the (INDIVIDUAL) PIG next to him. Apologies to the lesser animals.
Sad, but Philly voted for him 75 to 25%. They deserve to see their city get much worse and descend into socialist Soros madness.
Philly ping!

Yet another Bolshevik. We should be making a master list so we can instigate another McCarthy era to clean up the country.
My heavens some of you people are so fuckin stupid!
I was born and raised in South Philly by parents who grew up during the Great Depression and my father was a WWII vet so you can kiss my fuckin ass. The people who still live there and are trying to save their home don’t deserve this. They are a minority fighting the now majority.
People like you make me sick. You do nothing to help the situation and only promote the leftist agenda. We leave to find better but don’t stop caring about our home. The place that made us. These people aren’t voting for this...they are the minority now.
Amazing. There seems to be a limit to how far left people are willing to go, even in Philly. Thanks for the link, dear Twink!
Saw that-Take that Bitch.
