Martina White says Krasner "should resign" after two prosecutors quit
Martina WhitePennsylvania State Representative (R), 170th District
After two prosecutors resigned from Krasner's office, state Rep. Martina White said the resignations showed Krasner puts "his radical agenda before prosecuting criminals" and said he should resign.
“More turmoil because of Larry Krasner. Now prosecutors are resigning because Krasner always puts his radical agenda before prosecuting criminals. Prosecutors shouldn't resign because of a radical DA... Krasner should resign.”

Did Larry Krasner Pressure Staff to Mislead a Federal Judge About a Murder-Conviction Appeal?
A federal judge in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania found that Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner and Matthew Stiegler, chief of his office's Conviction Integrity Unit, may have pressured subordinate prosecutors to blame a departed colleague and present a false account to the court about an internal dispute over a 2022 concession in a habeas corpus case, and referred Krasner, Stiegler, and the District Attorney's Office to the U.S. Attorney's Office for investigation. Krasner disputes the judge's findings and says he will appeal.
