Krasner (born 1961) is an American lawyer serving as the 26th District Attorney of Philadelphia.[1] Krasner was elected to the position in 2017 and took office in January 2018. During his tenure, Krasner has sought to spearhead criminal justice reform by ending bail payments for low-level offenders, reducing supervision for parolees, and seeking more lenient sentences for certain crimes.[2] Prior to his government service, Krasner was a prolific criminal defense and civil rights attorney and public defender who aggressively pursued police misconduct.[3] Early life and educationKrasner was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1961.[4] His father, the son of Russian Jewish immigrants, wrote crime fiction, and his mother was an evangelical Christian minister.[5] His family eventually moved to the Philadelphia area while he was still in school.[4]{{clarification needed|date=May 2018}} Krasner attended the University of Chicago, graduating in 1983.[6] He then attended Stanford Law School, graduating in 1987.[4] CareerAfter graduation he moved back to Philadelphia to work for the Federal Public Defender’s Office.[4] In 1993, Krasner opened his own law firm.[1] Krasner has worked as a criminal defense lawyer in Philadelphia for 30 years,[7][1] specializing in civil rights,[8] and frequently represented protestors pro bono.[7] His representation for members of movements like Black Lives Matter and Occupy Philadelphia led many to call him an "anti-establishment" candidate.[9][10][11] Krasner was a featured speaker at the 2017 People's Summit.[12] Philadelphia District AttorneyElectionThere was no incumbent D.A. in the race as sitting Philadelphia D.A. R. Seth Williams announced that he would not run for reelection in February 2017,[13] and pleaded guilty to federal bribery charges in June 2017, resigning from office. (The acting D.A., Kathleen Martin, chose not to run.)[14] When Krasner announced his candidacy, the president of the Philadelphia police union described his candidacy as "hilarious."[1] Krasner received no major newspaper endorsements.[1] Krasner won a crowded, seven-way Democratic primary on May 16, 2017, defeating former city and federal prosecutor Joe Khan (who placed second); former Philadelphia Managing Director Rich Negrin; former First Assistant District Attorney Tariq El-Shabazz; former prosecutor Michael Untermeyer; former prosecutor Jack O'Neill; and former Municipal Court Judge Teresa Carr Deni.[15][16][17] City officials reported that voter turnout in this race spiked nearly 50 percent, compared to the last contested race for district attorney of Philadelphia, in 2009.[18] The primary was widely seen as the proxy election, as the winner of the primary was the presumptive victor of the general,[11] as registered Democrats outnumbered registered Republicans in Philadelphia by almost 7-to-1.[19][20] In the November general election, Krasner defeated Republican Beth Grossman, a former assistant district attorney, by a 3–1 margin.[21] TenureIn his first week in office, Krasner fired 31 prosecutors from the District Attorney's Office, including both junior and career supervisory staff. Up to one-third of the homicide prosecutors in the office were dismissed, and the total number of those fired represented as many as a 10% reduction in the number of Philadelphia assistant district attorneys.[22][23] In February 2018, Krasner announced that law enforcement would no longer pursue criminal charges against those caught with marijuana possession.[24] That same month, Krasner instructed prosecutors to stop seeking cash bail for those 'accused of some misdemeanors and nonviolent felonies.[25] Krasner said that it was unfair to keep people in detention simply because they could not afford bail.[25] He also announced that the DA's office had filed a lawsuit against a number of pharmaceutical companies for their role in the city's opioid epidemic.[24] Krasner instructed prosecutors to stop charging sex workers who had fewer than three crime convictions.[26] In March 2018, it was reported that Krasner's staffers were working on creating a sentence review unit–the first of its kind in the country–to review past cases and sentences, and seek re-sentencing in cases where individuals were given unduly harsh punishments.[27] Also in March 2018, it was reported that Krasner instructed prosecutors to: "Offer shorter prison sentences in plea deals. Decline certain classes of criminal charges. And explain, on the record, why taxpayers should fork over thousands of dollars per year to incarcerate people."[28] He further stated that: "Fiscal responsibility is a justice issue, and it is an urgent justice issue. A dollar spent on incarceration should be worth it. Otherwise, that dollar may be better spent on addiction treatment, on public education, on policing and on other types of activity that make us all safer."[29] In April 2018, it was reported that some judges had rejected the reduced sentences which Krasner's prosecutors had sought for juveniles which had previously been sentenced to life in prison.[30] In June 2018, it was reported that Krasner had requested a comprehensive list of police officers who had lied while on duty, used excessive force, racially profiled, or violated civil rights. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, "The exercise, unprecedented in scope in recent city history, is designed to help prosecutors flag officers with credibility issues early in a case and possibly prevent their testimony".[31] Electoral history{{Election box begin no change|title=Philadelphia District Attorney Democratic primary election, 2017[17]}}}{{Election box candidate with party link no change|candidate=Larry Krasner |party=Democratic Party (United States) |votes=59,368 |percentage=38.24}}{{Election box candidate with party link no change |candidate=Joe Khan |party=Democratic Party (United States) |votes= 31,480 |percentage=20.28}}{{Election box candidate with party link no change |candidate=Rich Negrin |party=Democratic Party (United States) |votes=22,048 |percentage=14.20}}{{Election box candidate with party link no change |candidate=Tariq Karim El-Shabazz |party=Democratic Party (United States) |votes= 18,040 |percentage=11.62}}{{Election box candidate with party link no change |candidate=Michael W.
