Larry Krasner, fresh off of being elected Philadelphia's next top prosecutor, appears to be wasting no time in addressing the elephant in the DA's Office.
In a letter addressed to “Attorneys and Staff of the District Attorney's Office of Philadelphia,” emailed Friday, Krasner implored those in the office who share his progressive ideals ”to join this movement to help build and re-build a District Attorney's Office in Philadelphia that can do better and do more for victims, for witnesses, for defendants (the innocent and the guilty), for law enforcement, and for society at large.”
But Krasner also acknowledged that his election was not met with excitement by everyone in the office. To them, he tried to offer some reassurance.
