Pennsylvania Supreme Court Deliberates on Impeachment Trial of Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner

The court's decision will determine the future of efforts to remove Krasner from office, who was impeached on claims related to his prosecution of minor crimes, bail policies, and office management.

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.
