District Attorney Larry Krasner joined Good Day Philadelphia on Wednesday morning to address the rising homicide rate in the city amid claims from his opponents that he has been too lenient on violent offenders.
Krasner, who has served as District Attorney since 2018, believes the rise in shootings and homicides is not unique to Philadelphia rather an “unprecedented national issue.” Like Philadelphia, Krasner says, many cities across the country are experiencing a spike in shootings and a dip in crime and violent crimes.
