A federal judge has referred Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner to the Department of Justice for potential prosecution, according to Reason. The referral follows the judge's conclusion that Krasner and a deputy engaged in unethical—and possibly illegal—conduct while trying to overturn a criminal conviction.
The judge described the behavior as driven by zeal to undo the conviction and found it serious enough to warrant federal scrutiny. The article presents the judge's finding as the central fact, without quoting Krasner or his office in response.
Because only one source was available, there is no competing account to compare. The practical outcome now rests with the Department of Justice, which has not been reported as having decided whether to bring charges.
