A veteran lawyer in the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office has been disbarred in the region’s federal courts after a panel of judges concluded he “lied repeatedly” while seeking to overturn the death sentence of a man who killed an East Mount Airy couple in their home and left their infant daughter inside to die. ---SNIP---
In the disciplinary opinion filed earlier this year, the three-judge panel criticized George’s conduct throughout the case, saying he “repeatedly lied” to Goldberg and that his efforts nearly undercut the integrity of a duly-imposed jury verdict.
And in an unusually pointed fashion, they ascribed a motive to his actions — accusing George of flouting legal guardrails to advance the policy interests of Krasner’s office

In a high profile case like this, there is no way in hell they acted without the DA’s knowledge.
Trainer should be in a cage
What will it take to put Krasner and his Soros DA brethren and the Soros’ in prison?
Guy in court watching a trial in the courtroom:
“Darn, I should have bought a program from that guy hawking them outside. Now I really can’t tell the defendants, the lawyers, the crooks about to testify and the corrupt prosecutors and DAs about to be taken out by uniformed officers.”
Krasner
2017 - Larry Krasner was elected District Attorney.
2021 - He won reelection (71.8% of the vote).
2025 - He won reelection again (76% of the vote).
Leftists are insane.
“Lisa Hart was 7 months old when her parents were murdered by Robert Wharton and Eric Mason in 1984. Thirty-five years later, the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office wants Wharton’s death sentence vacated.”
Wouldn’t be an issue if Wharton was executed in 1985.
The supervisor in Philly DA Larry Krasner’s office disbarred in federal court is Paul George, an Assistant District Attorney and supervisor who was found to have “lied repeatedly” while trying to overturn the death sentence for Robert Wharton, leading a panel of judges to disbar him for professional misconduct.
Key Details: Paul George, an ADA and supervisor in the DA’s office lied in court while handling the capital case of Robert Wharton, who was convicted of murder. A federal court disbarred him for these actions, impacting his ability to practice law in federal court.
Sounds a lot like perjury to me, loosing his license is nice but where are the criminal charges.
I wonder what impact this will have on the cases where he may have had some input. This could be devastating to the justice system. (And, maybe it should be.) But a lot of guilty people may end up walking out of prison early because this guy is (corrupt? crazy? incompetent?) This doesn’t even touch the idea that people who are let out because of this guy will sue for millions of dollars.
At least he’ll be able to afford a comfortable retirement.
From the MSN article:
(Paul) “George’s colleague Nancy Winkelman — another supervisor in the district attorney’s law division — has also been the subject of a disciplinary inquiry in federal court for her role in the (convicted murder) Wharton matter.”
“Wharton killed the couple ..., then turned off the heat in their home and left the couple’s 7-month-old baby, Lisa, to freeze to death. She (Lisa Hart-Newman) survived.”
“Prosecutors ... never contacted the couple’s only surviving child, Lisa Hart-Newman, who vehemently opposed the idea of lessening Wharton’s sentence.”
(Paul George’s) “attorneys denied there has ever been an office policy opposing all capital sentences.
Krasner also said it was “flatly untrue” that his office has ever had a policy against the death penalty.”
versus
“Krasner said on the campaign trail that he would “never pursue a death sentence in any case.”
Push for Public Health Solutions to Gun Violence
This office charges and prosecutes gun violence with vigor. Just before the pandemic effectively closed Philly courts, during the first quarter of 2020, the office’s conviction rate for gun violence was around 85%-—as high as it had been in the prior five years. These prosecutions, however, cannot address the underlying causes of gun violence. Larry’s top priority is to support and elevate what works: public health solutions to the gun violence that is harming our most vulnerable communities. He will:
Advocate for increased funding and use of evidence-based violence interruption programs and blight remediation in our hardest-hit neighborhoods, both of which have proven overwhelmingly successful at reducing gun violence when capable people do them in the right way;
Support financial investment in our hardest hit communities, including trauma counseling, educational opportunities, and job development to stop gun violence before it happens;
Request increased funding for our hospital trauma centers.
This doesn’t even touch in the idea that people who are
let out because of this guy will sue for millions of dollars.
Good point.

That 7-month-old baby was alone in the house with her dead parents for three days until her grandpa came looking and found her, along with the unspeakable tragedy.
If not the DP, this perp deserves to live on I a dark, damp, windowless cellar on bread and water.
