George Soros' Man in Philadelphia

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.

Accordingly, in November 2019, attorneys representing Maureen Faulkner petitioned the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to disqualify Krasner's office from any further involvement in the Abu-Jamal case based on conflicts of interest.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court should consider Faulkner's petition in the overall context of the disaster that has befallen the people of Philadelphia with the election of Krasner.

Hopefully the court will remove Krasner from the Abu-Jamal case so that Pennsylvania's attorney general may take over and vigorously oppose the murderer's latest bid to get out of prison.

In the space of one week, two courts have taken extraordinary steps to rein in Larry Krasner, George Soros' man in Philadelphia.
