Ho boy. Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner is at it again. This time, his own office supervisors are whistleblowing on the office's ethical issues. (And yes, before you ask, this is another attempt by Krasner to free a convicted murderer. This time, a double murderer.) Let's dive in! 
First, it makes sense why the attorneys here might be on edge. Not that long ago, the 5-2 Democrat Pennsylvania Supreme Court told Krasner to stop trying to free murderers. And he ordered the Attorney General to get involved. One attorney was on that case
The attorneys here both tried to quietly withdraw from the case--they thought they ethically couldn't say more. But now, they are saying more. First, they repeatedly tried to get the office to withdraw due to a conflict of interest.
Eventually, they told Krasner that him getting advice from an attorney tasked with freeing murderers about this specific murderer created a conflict. When they told him that, he told them to "protect the office". Not the people of Philadelphia. He refused to refer the case 
Krasner told the attorneys that if they followed their ethical obligations and told the Court that there would be "consequences". That's wild! They told the Court, and they are ready to say more if ordered to testify. Frankly, this is courageous behavior by the attorneys.
This office is a disaster. Either what the attorneys say is true, and Krasner is in deep water. Or it's not true, and his trusted lawyers are making up completely unethical quotes they are assigning to him.
