Pa. Supreme Court ruling curbs Philly district attorney, adds state attorney general oversight

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner's office misled courts in criminal conviction reviews, requiring future cases under the Post Conviction Relief Act to undergo state Attorney General oversight. The 4-3 decision cited recurring issues with Krasner's office, including misrepresentations and inadequate investigations, and reversed a new trial granted to Lavar Brown, a convicted murderer.
