Philly D.A.

It’s fall 2017, and Larry Krasner is running for D.A. of Philadelphia, the most incarcerated big city in America. How will the city respond to his bold promise to change the system from the inside?

Krasner and his team build a police misconduct database to recommend a list of officers to bar from testifying in court. Bob Listenbee joins as the new head of the juvenile unit with a fresh vision.

Krasner campaigned on a historic pledge to end capital punishment in Philadelphia. That vow is put to the test when the time comes to prosecute the murderers of beloved police officer Robert Wilson.

LaTonya Myers is an upstanding citizen but on probation, she’s treated like a criminal. To give people like LaTonya a fair chance, Krasner proposes a cap on probation.

Krasner recommends new sentences for juveniles who were sentenced to life in prison without parole. The parents of a slain teenager learn that their son’s killer is getting out soon.

Local cops are trying to blame Krasner for a spike in crime. At a town hall, a frustrated Krasner calls the cops liars and walks out, prompting a key ally to consider pulling her support.

For the first time in 20 years, the Philadelphia D.A.’s office is charging an on-duty officer with murder after he shot David Jones three times in the back. The FOP vows to get him back on the force.

With some notable reforms in place, Krasner knows there’s more work to do. He recruits law students to work in his office or join other progressive D.A. offices so the movement can continue.
