THIS IS SO FUCKED.
Pennsylvania's Supreme Court just gave the AG the power to intervene whenever Philly's DA concedes post-conviction relief. When the elected prosecutor reviews a case and concludes someone may have been wrongfully convicted, the state can now show up and argue against that.
In a 4-3 decision today, the Supreme Court of PA has ruled that whenever the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office concedes that a defendant is entitled to post-conviction relief, the state Attorney General has the right to intervene and oppose said concession. www.pacourts.us/assets/opini... 1/2
