"Krasner had represented one of two defendants in a capital homicide case Vega prosecuted, which went to a three-week trial in 2016 after several years of ongoing litigation. The jury returned a guilty verdict. However, the verdict did not result in a death sentence."
"During those proceedings, Krasner alleged, Vega tampered with witnesses, lied to the judge, and sexually harassed a paralegal."
"Several months after that trial ended, Krasner announced his candidacy for district attorney."
"During cross-examination, Gold asked why Krasner had not mentioned the alleged misconduct when he responded in a verified statement to Vega’s age discrimination complaint to the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission."
"In that statement, Krasner claimed he fired Vega after a “30-year job interview,” referring to Krasner’s observation of Philadelphia prosecutors in the time he worked as a defense attorney."
