The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled Thursday that lawmakers who attempted to impeach Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner improperly tried to extend the impeachment process across two legislative sessions. The decision is a victory for Krasner, a Democrat, after he was impeached by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives in 2022.
Pennsylvania state lawmakers who tried to impeach Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner improperly tried to stretch that process across two different legislative sessions, the state's highest court ruled Thursday.
Todd, a Democrat, was joined in the opinion by Justices Christine Donohue and David Wecht, both Democrats. Justice Sallie Mundy, a Republican, dissented. Three other justices did not participate. The articles also cited court rebukes of how his office handled several cases, complained that he had not adequately notified some crime victims of developments in their cases and claimed that Krasner obstructed the House’s investigation of his office.
