Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner could become the key reason Meek Mill is a free man sooner than we all think. The recently elected DA has wasted little time leaving his stamp on a slew local criminal justice policies including a decision not to oppose everyone’s favorite Dreamchaser being released on bail.
According to Philly political reporter Shaun King, Krasner has helped give the city hope since winning fice last November. A newly surfaced an internal five-page guiding document titled “New Policies Announced February 15, 2018” shows his intent to clean up Philly and help decrease the number people behind bars.
Another key element the doc is having prosecutors take a less severe approach to putting together plea deals.
Last week, Krasner made headlines for not opposing Meek Mill’s attempt to get out jail on bail.
Despite his power, the DA’s Office will ultimately not decide Meek’s fate behind bars.
