Philadelphia district attorney Larry Krasner cut favorable plea deals with violent criminals represented by the progressive's campaign donors, city financial records show.
Krasner took office in January 2018 after mounting an unconventional campaign that centered on his history of suing police officers as a civil rights attorney.
Defense attorneys Michael Coard and Daniel Stevenson oversaw the deal after donating a combined $2,700 to Krasner's 2017 campaign.
Months later, Krasner reached another controversial plea deal with a career criminal who shot a Philadelphia deli owner with an AK-47 during an armed robbery.
Krasner campaign donor Philip Steinberg represented the shooter, who received as little as three-and-a-half years in prison for aggravated assault, a step below the attempted murder charge the DA's office initially pursued.
Coard gave Krasner's campaign $2,500 in the 2017 cycle, while Stevenson gave $200. The pair has combined to give Krasner an additional $1,350 since September 2019.
Krasner initially defended the plea deal stemming from the deli robbery-which saw Jovaun Patterson shoot owner Mike Poeng in the groin-as "Wholly appropriate." Steinberg, who did not return a request for comment, defended Patterson after giving $500 to Krasner in June 2017.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
