The impeachment last week of Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner by the Republican-controlled Pennsylvania House sets up one of the highest-profile battles yet between reformer prosecutors and their conservative opponents.
If Republicans are successful in their efforts to remove Krasner, they would knock off one of the most high-profile and aggressive members in a wave of reformer district attorneys elected over the past five years. But if Krasner survives, it will only further cement the twice-elected prosecutor's reputation and his mandate.
