Why we used this label
White directly argues Krasner is unfit to continue as DA in light of the judge's findings, an express denunciation of his fitness for office in response to the referral.
A federal judge disqualified Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner and a top aide from a murder-conviction appeal, declined to disqualify the District Attorney's Office, and referred all three to federal prosecutors, writing they may have violated the law. Krasner disputes the findings and plans to appeal.
