So they can't just evict you. Eviction is a lengthy and expensive process, but if you're worried about any of this you absolutely should get an attorney involved.

Think of if like this. If you had a broken leg and were worried about how to treat it people here would tell you to go to a doctor. If you had an issue with the electrics in your house you'd call an electrician. Lawyers are professionals, and only one who has a chance to listen to your situation is going to be able to give you real advice. It will also help to get them involved now so that if this does go to court you're not playing catch up.

Here's the problem with the 'big 3' in the City, and I think that people across the political spectrum should be able to agree. Our leaders are ineffective. The problems in the city aren't so much about partisan policies but ineffectual leadership.

Kranser - Unable to effectively communicate to the public. Terrible retail politician, seems to be very bad at the human side of politics. Disorganized DA losing experienced progressive prosecutors.

Kenney - Checked out two years ago, is not interested in being mayor. Blames Harrisburg for everything, ie; saying their gun laws prevent us from enacting straw buyer legislation when the state of PA already has stray buyer legislation.

Outlaw - Better retail politician then Krasner, but PPD is disorganized. Unable to bring rank and file on board with new policies, unable to address leave situation. Recruitment policies are a joke, ie; veterans turned away because they used medical marijuana for pain management at some point.

If all that is true then there is no definition under the law that would have stuck to this guy, your claim that the DA didn't meet the burden of proof is technically true but functionally meaningless. He fell through a loophole in PA law, they couldn't even have charged him with aggravated assault of an unborn child since he had no way of knowing the woman was pregnant.

All that taken into account he wasn't 'innocent', he just wasn't guilty of the charges because PA doesn't have a statute that fits the crime he committed. That was likely the reasoning behind the higher than normal bail amount.

I'm not sure how "man hits woman with car, woman's unborn child dies" is something that needs to clear a burden of proof. The judge found the man not responsible for the death, it's not arguable that his actions lead to the death of her unborn child. Things that are facts in this case.

- The man was racing

- He was drunk

- He crashed his car

- The woman lost her child

My general point is that people think this is all the DA when it isn't, but this is also a major area of complaint with Krasner. It would be very easy for him to get on TV and explain this, but he doesn't. It's not the guys policies that are the problem, it's him and his ability to get along with people and explain things to the public.

He got off on a murder charge for killing the woman's unborn kid, not the woman. He was still convicted of some serious crimes and would have been doing multiple years in jail once he was sentenced.

If a DA that doesn't like throwing people in jail says a guy should not be allowed out on bail I'd tend to take their word for it, especially after said guy murders someone outside a school.

I'll confess I haven't looked into that, but the judges in the city routinely balk at high bail.

For some background, the DA does support no cash bail but we do not have it currently implemented in this city. That system isn't what a lot of people think it is, basically everyone is either a danger to society/flight risk or they're not. In a no cash bail system you let the people who should be free on bail out and keep the ones who are dangerous in. Right now a mass murderer could get out on bail if they had enough money, while some guy who got arrested for having too many unpaid parking tickets can't.

Like I said, we don't have it in this city. What the DA often does is try to set the maximum legal amount they can if they don't believe someone should be allowed to go free. That's what happened here. The judges routinely deny those requests and set it to something that can be paid, it happens all the time. Last year there was a guy out on bail who killed that Temple kid? Krasner took a lot of heat for that but it was the same exact situation, they tried to set bail at 1 mil and the judge reduced it twice.

Just to make sure we're keeping score here.

• DA charges with various charges including murder of an unborn child. Judge tosses most serious charges.
• DA sets bail at 1 mil. Judge sets bail at 170k.
• Convicted in August, still on the streets in October.
• Despite being a convict he is allowed, while out on bail, to purchase ammo from a gun shop in South Philly.

I've said a few times on here that my main issue with the DA is that the office is disorganized and bleeding talent, but this perfectly illustrates the bigger issue happening in this city.

If a crime is committed, the witness might not come forward. If they do come forward, the cops might not get a warrant. If they get a warrant, they might not get an arrest. If they get an arrest, they might not get charged. If they get charged, they might not be convicted. If they get convicted, the judge might reduce their bail.

Every single level of this city's criminal justice system is broken, but more often then not it's judges sending these assholes back onto the streets. It doesn't get nearly enough coverage, but most of the time some dude who should be in jail kills someone it's a judge that put them back on the street, not the DA.

I'm not sure where you read incompetent prosecution. I did read that the guy had his bail set at 1 mil and a judge reduced it to 170k.

This, absolutely 10,000%. Some kid walking around by themselves, outside, with a mask and hoody? Fuck that, I'm out.
