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 Krasner’s bold promises to change the system, end mass incarceration, and hold police accountable?

Krasner and his team build a police misconduct database to recommend a list of officers to bar from testifying in court. Lisa Harvey, the supervisor of the juvenile unit, is optimistic that she can work with her new boss Bob Listenbee.

Krasner campaigned on a historic pledge to end capital punishment in Philadelphia. That vow is tested when the time comes to prosecute the murderers of beloved officer Robert Wilson III. Family members and the police union demand the death penalty.

LaTonya Myers is an upstanding citizen but on probation, she’s treated like a criminal. To give people like LaTonya a fair chance and to curb the number of people in jail because of probation violations, Krasner makes a proposal.

Krasner recommends new sentences for juveniles who were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The parents of Sultan Ahmad Jr., who was killed as a teenager, learn that their son’s killer is getting out soon.

Local cops are trying to blame Krasner for a spike in crime, but it’s not that simple. At a town hall, a frustrated Krasner calls the cops liars and walks out. When a key Councilmember considers pulling her support, Krasner rethinks his approach.
