Omg I had no idea and now I want to know everything. Wtf. Vega was a really prominent ADA pre-Krasner this is a big deal.

I think a lot of people assume that when there is no obvious discrimination claim, the person asserting discrimination is a fraud. And when the plaintiff just finished a failed political campaign filled with lies and misrepresentation, that assumption gets reinforced.

Also, the end of the Senate race means people still have a lot of Citizens for Sanity fatigue. "KRASNER AND FETTERMAN HANDED OUT GUNS AT THE PRISON EXIT WAAAAHGGHHH"

"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."

As I mentioned in my original post, I saw that law.com article and it's behind a paywall that I couldn't read. The point of my post is that local media isn't reporting on the trial. Isn't that worthy of discussion?
