Overview

• The Pennsylvania Supreme Court is currently deliberating on whether the Legislature can proceed with an impeachment trial against Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner.
• Krasner was impeached by the state House in November 2022 on claims related to his prosecution of minor crimes, bail policies, and office management.
• The court's decision will determine the future of efforts to remove Krasner from office.
• Several justices questioned whether the court should intervene in the impeachment process at this stage.
• A lower court issued a split ruling on the matter, rejecting two of Krasner’s challenges but agreeing that the impeachment articles do not meet the state constitution’s definition of misbehavior in office.
