PA Supreme Court Rules Against GOP's Impeachment of Philadelphia DA Krasner
The court found that the impeachment articles expired with the end of the 2022 legislative session, invalidating the effort.
- Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner won a legal victory as the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled against the impeachment effort led by GOP lawmakers.
- The court determined that the impeachment articles became null and void when the legislative session ended in 2022.
- Republican lawmakers had accused Krasner of mishandling criminal cases and contributing to the city's shooting crisis, but the impeachment resolution passed largely along party lines.
- The ruling overturned a lower court decision that had allowed the impeachment process to stretch across different legislative sessions.
- House Republicans have not indicated whether they will attempt to reintroduce impeachment proceedings in the future.
