Philadelphia District Attorney and Soros societal chaos tool Larry *spits* Krasner is finding himself in the hot seat right before an election for the most appalling and inexcusable of circumstances.
In what has become a revolting lather, rinse, repeat of cold, calculating progressive failure, Krasner's fate as the reigning king of the reformed release school of Philly justice hangs on the newly discovered, grisly remains of a missing young beauty queen.
The human remains found stashed at an abandoned Philadelphia school have been confirmed to belong to missing beauty queen Kada Scott — as authorities reveal new details about her alleged kidnapper.
The identity of the 23-year-old, who vanished on Oct. 4 shortly after leaving her job at The Terrace assisted living facility in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood, was confirmed through DNA testing, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said at a Monday news conference.
The beautiful Miss Scott had been missing for weeks after leaving work early to meet someone, who was later identified as Keon King.
...Scott was last seen by her mother on Oct. 4 when she was leaving for work at a nearby nursing home, police said last week.
On the evening of Oct. 4, Scott arrived at work, but left prior to her shift's completion, Philadelphia police Capt. John Craig said during a press conference earlier this month. It was not clear what time Scott left work, but officials said her shift typically was from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
"In the days leading up to her disappearance, Ms. Scott related to her family and friends that an unknown individual or person had been harassing her via phone," Craig said.
Officials said evidence shows Scott was "in communication with an individual" -- who they identified as King -- and that she appeared to meet with him "very shortly after" she left work on Oct. 4.
Scott was reported missing to police on Oct. 5, with law enforcement saying they had "some concern, more so than usual" regarding her disappearance due to worrying phone calls she was receiving.
Mr. King was charged earlier with Ms Scott's kidnapping and subsequently with her murder upon recovery and identification of the remains.
Oddly enough, it seemed from the initial press conference after the arrest of Mr King that the DA's office might have had some familiarity with the suspect.
I invite you to savor the macabre hilarity of the assistant DA's description of how they had an inkling Mr. King might somehow be the cause of this.
..."Mr. King is the last person we believe to be in contact with her when she went offline," Ashley Kozlowski, the Philadelphia assistant district attorney, said during a press conference last week.
King has a "little bit of a pattern of this type of history," as he was involved in a case earlier this year where he was accused of kidnapping and strangling a "female acquaintance," officials said. The case was dismissed after a witness failed to appear in court, but Kozlowski said on Wednesday they "made the decision to refile those charges."
A LITTLE BIT OF A PATTERN OF THIS TYPE OF HISTORY
What is even with that? A kidnapping and strangulation case was dismissed? And now what's left of Kada Scott is found in a shallow grave behind an abandoned school.
This is starting to sound awfully familiar. Surely, there's no way Keon King was also a career crimi...oh.
Good God. This chills you straight to the bone.
...Police said King, meanwhile, allegedly climbed a fence at his ex-girlfriend's home and tried to break in January.
In November 2024, King allegedly forced the same woman into bed and violently choked her, but those charges were also dropped when she failed to appear in court three times.
In the latest video, the woman told the hooded figure to leave and urged someone off camera to call police. Moments later, the man was seen walking to the side of the house, peering into another window as he appeared to try to break in, investigators said.
Later that day, the man allegedly abducted a woman from the street, forcing her into his car, driving at high speed, and biting her face while choking her. She was later treated for minor injuries.
CALL THE COPS!
One look at Keon Kings face and it’s obvious that he’s a tether. Crime is on the rise because of them. https://t.co/9qs0LrrrfH pic.twitter.com/VEBUEZDb2c

Krasner's excuse for dropping the charges for the vicious assault that occurred the same day after that video was taken was that he has problems asking judges for emergency bail after midnight, so it wasn't worth the effort.
Yeah, Krasmer says, coulda been handled better, but, yo - it's the system's fault.
...Earlier this year, his office dropped an assault and kidnapping case against King when the victim failed to appear in court — a decision that allowed King to walk free on $200,000 bail, even though prosecutors had sought nearly $1 million because of the violent nature of the charges.
...At Friday’s news conference, Krasner conceded, "It could have been handled better." But he also cited "systemic issues" in the city’s bail process.
Court officials threw the BS flag.
...Court officials pushed back, saying judges are always available for emergency bail appeals, a step the DA’s office chose not to take.
"In light of this truth, the DA’s comments are appallingly disrespectful … a sad attempt to find a scapegoat for his own failings," courts spokesperson Martin O’Rourke said in a statement to The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Online criticism followed quickly. Conservative account Libs of TikTok posted on X, "Philadelphia progressive DA Larry Krasner previously DROPPED KIDNAPPING CHARGES against a career criminal with a criminal history who got out on $20k bail. Well he just kidnapped another woman whose remains were just found."
And the 'no judge takes my call after midnight' part of Krasner's excuse? Another pathetic lie, as King's bail hearing was held in the afternoon.
I can't imagine how Kada Scott's parents feel seeing this display of incompetence from Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner and his office! Keon King should have been in jail, not roaming the streets of Philly, kidnapping Kada!#KadaScott #MISSING #KeonKing pic.twitter.com/7A4GWk81WE

How many of these gruesome, unforgivable deaths do there have to be before this plague of progressive prosecutors is removed?
Judge Pat Dugan, Krasner's opponent in the Nov 4 election, is making sure everyone knows how the bail system works, and how Larry Krasner as Philly's DA does not.
Krasner let Keon King walk and didn’t challenge his bail. He claims judges aren’t happy taking calls after midnight, so he didn’t make the call.

Here are the facts:
1) there are designated judges who take calls after hours. They are willing and able to help.
2) the bail for Keon King’s case was set in the early afternoon, not at night. Krasner lies and refuses to take responsibility. It’s time for a DA who will prioritize the victims over the criminals.
Krasner, in a mad panic, not because he fatally failed a young woman but because his election hopes may have taken a fatal blow, is piling the charges on Keon King as if he'd never met a felon he didn't like.
Who does this fraud think he's fooling?
New homicide charges were filed against the suspect, Keon King, in the death of Kada Scott on Wednesday. A new five-page affidavit also gives some insight in communication exchanged between Scott and King in the hours before she was killed.
In addition to Murder, King, 21, is also charged with Abuse of a Corpse and Robbery. He still faces charges that were previously announced before Scotts remains were identified. Those charges include Arson, Conspiracy, Tampering with Evidence, Reckless Endangerment, Unauthorized Use of an Automobile, and Receiving Stolen Property. He is currently being held on a $2.5 million bail.
I'm not sure that Dugan stands a chance, though, even with as horrible a person as Krasner is.
...Krasner, the progressive reformer who has led the city’s prosecutor’s office since 2018, fended off Dugan in a decisive Democratic primary in May and now faces him again in November after Dugan secured the Republican nomination via write-in votes.
Krasner won the Democratic primary with around 64% of the vote, carrying nearly all wards. Dugan garnered just over 35%. Given the absence of a Republican candidate before the general election cycle, that primary victory was widely interpreted as tantamount to reelection — until Dugan’s insurgent write-in campaign upended expectations.
That Dugan’s second attempt is considered a longshot in a city long considered a bastion of Democratic dominance where Krasner remains popular is reflected in a dearth of campaigning on either side. During the primary, Dugan ran professional campaign ads, including ones that attack Krasner, but those are missing this time around.
There is an interesting twist to the election angle - the New Jersey governor's race.
As local Philly media type Rich Zeoli points out, the NJ race affects the Philly race two ways.
First and foremost, one needs to understand that there is no 'NJ media market' - it all comes out of either New York City or Philadelphia, which includes all the news about the Jersey races and the advertising.
Crime-ridden Philly, with an incumbent DA who just scored another needless death the city can directly blame his office for, now has a comparison with ads for NJ governor candidate who is running on law and order. Krasner has a law-and-order judge running against him.
Will people connect the dots?
"He's a problem because he doesn't believe the criminals are the bad guys; he goes after cops."

On the flip side, folks in New Jersey are watching the news out of Philly every night, seeing what Krasner's done and, again, knowing they've got a law-and-order candidate for governor on the ballot running against another progressive Democrat who has not voted for any of the Congressional bills strengthening enforcement. For example, Mikie Sherrill voted against the Laken Riley Act.
Who are they going to lean towards with Philly imploding right before their eyes and the problems at home with NJ progressives?
With the polls tightening for @Jack4NJ, could Philly crime be a closing issue?

Voter apathy is a genuine concern, too. Dugan has an uphill climb in Philly.
Sadly, we can now add Kada Scott's name to the Soros and progressive prosecutors' wall of shame and infamy.
We can only hope that in less than two weeks, there will be a couple fewer of them who keep letting monsters roam the streets.
