Previously on "Philly DA..." - For 30 years, the policy was "lock 'em up. Lock more of 'em up. Lock 'em up for longer." - From the very beginning, District Attorney Larry Krasner developed policies that focused on second chances as opposed to punishment. - This is the seventh year anniversary of my son's death. For me to work on victim services in my son's memory is awesome for me. - Our family is angry.

[buzzer buzzing] [dramatic music] ♪ ♪ - Welcome to Radio Times. Let's talk about juvenile lifers. Philadelphia apparently sentenced more teenagers to life than any other jurisdiction. - Pennsylvania had more juvenile lifers at the time the Supreme Court said that juvenile life was unconstitutional, than any other state and than any other country in the world. - So since the Supreme Court made that decision, what has your office done on this issue? - We are charged with conducting the resentencings. In general, our recommendations are lower than the prior administration. - Because...what, we change? - Yeah, people can change. ♪ ♪ [phone ringing] [indistinct chatter] ♪ ♪ - I'm gonna give you Bob's copy. All right, we are considering new sentencing of defendant Joseph Chamberlain. This case is from April 20th, 1992. It's a first degree murder case. The victim in this case was a 15 year old by the name of Sultan Ahmad. Ahmad and the defendant, Mr. Chamberlain, had an ongoing fight. On this date, Sultan Ahmad went over to the home of a co-defendant in this case, whose name was Kasam Hennix. Hennix called and let Chamberlain know that Ahmad was at his home. At that point, Joseph Chamberlain grabbed a shotgun from his closet. The gun was hidden and the three of them walked to the park. Once they were in the park, Chamberlain pulled the gun out and handed it to Hennix, who said he accidentally shot Sultan Ahmad in both legs. The gun jammed. He handed the gun back to Chamberlain who fixed it and then shot the victim in the stomach and the head. The bottom line is that this was an assassination. The victim in this case, Sultan Ahmad--you actually know the family before this happened, right? And after... - That's correct. The father was-- worked in the mayor's office. - This case was originally a death penalty case. The jury came back with a first degree conviction. And Joseph Chamberlain was sentenced to life, plus two and a half years consecutive. Mr. Chamberlain had 20 misconducts. The last one had been in 2013, and that was for tattooing himself. He'd also gotten his GED. - I mean, this adjustment ranks how in general? - I would say this is a very average and non-concerning adjustment. There was nothing about this adjustment that caused me pause. - No criminal prosecutions... - No. - And two or three assaultive incidents in 24 years. - There are some people, who in my view should never leave jail, but not many. There is a much, much larger number of people who, without the slightest hope of freedom... You know, became really useful people, decent people in jail. None of it made up for the crime they had committed, but all of it defined who they had become at a certain point later in their life. This ideology that people never change, that the world is only made up of monsters and saints just isn't true. Everything that I've experienced in 30 years in criminal justice tells me that even people who have done monstrous things early in life... seldom are monsters when they are much older. What we're doing is an existential threat to fundamental views about human beings. [somber music] ♪ ♪ - Joseph Chamberlain left the courtroom knowing he'd never see freedom again.

His grandfather gave him the name called Eatmore. They gave him that name because every time he went to his grandfather's house, he would eat up everything that was over there. - Yeah. - So those were good memories. [children playing outside] In '92, the police came to meet with me and told me that there was some tragic news. You know, I didn't see--think of it in any way personal because we work with the police department, so I just thought something had happened or I thought my son got involved with something. And then they told us that he was murdered in Hunting Park. And, you know, my whole world kind of collapsed right then. - I thought something had happened to him. And when I got in there, he was just a wreck. And I'm, like... You know, it was horrible. It was really horrible. A parent's worst nightmare. I was for the death penalty. You know, I really was.

Yes. - You don't agree, Harriet? - That's all on him. - I would want to sit down with him. I would want to really talk with him. One-on-one, man-to-man.

I am a criminologist, which means that I have a PHD in criminology, law, and justice. I joined the office to help be a part of this exciting reform. - Have you, in your legal analysis or policy analysis, found any kind of confirmation that refocusing our energies away from low-level violations will be better preventing violent crimes? - I can't think of research that suggests that enforcing low-level crimes reduces serious crimes. Broken windows in New York might be spoken about, but now they've stopped enforcing those low-level crimes and crime hasn't gone back up. Generally, we think that policy is data driven. Criminal justice, that's probably the exception instead of the rule. [indistinct chatter] Historically in this office, it has been the use of gut feelings and that is how we got into this mess, largely, because you're making decisions, you're changing policies, you're not knowing how it's going. There's a plan for data transparency and releasing... The DA values data and science. That's a major part of the culture change. We're not doing policy based on what a few people think. We're doing policy based on things that we can describe, that are concrete, that we can stand up on and say this is why we did it. And to be able to talk about that, it just does even more power to it. [applause] - Somebody one day is going to do something, maybe kill a cop, kill a kid. And you're going to be faced with it. And somebody says they could have been in jail. And you'll say, but let's look at the preponderance of the evidence. The evidence bears out what I wanted to do, but you know how emotional things are. And if it is a cop or is a child, it'll be a hell storm. Are you prepared for that? And I wonder, do you wake up every day, wondering, "Is today the day it comes around and I gotta deal with this?" - So every day, you do live to some extent on pins and needles that something terrible can happen and you have to deal with it. But, you know, we gotta get real about this stuff. It is risk management and it's based on science. The way this type of progressive prosecution survives is by somehow teaching the media and somehow teaching the public that there is a thing called science. And that we do not simply rely on a single terrible incident to decide whether this is good risk management or bad risk management. We have to actually look at the bigger picture. - With all due respect, everything you said, just made sense, but you know, as well as I do, a lot of your office is public perception and reaction. - Right. - And when people are upset, they don't pause for the metrics. - Breaking news right now.

One adult dead during a graduation party, near a playground last night. - Do you consider keeping Philadelphia residents safe to be the number one priority of this office? - Yes. And there's a way-- - Do you think that's clear to people? - These violent weekends. What can be done to end those? - But how do you stop the kind of carnage that happened this weekend and stop it immediately? - I know this isn't politics, but the real solutions are structural. It has to do with proper public education, keeping young men in high school and then getting them onto jobs and so on. - Do you agree that there is a public safety crisis in Philadelphia? - Yesterday the police commissioner seemed to imply that people who carry guns don't feel concern about being prosecuted. Do you think he's talking to you? - Our rate of rejecting gun cases is under 2%. Violent crime in Philadelphia is actually down since we took office. - What has your office done to lower shootings and homicides? - This problem is beyond just the police; it's beyond just the DA. - People aren't afraid of being arrested. - You're arguing that it's a structural issue. - I think we all... - A 24-year-old got killed, shot in the back. - Do you think you're too light on sentences? - Seth Williams did not stop this from happening. Lynne Abraham did not stop this from happening. They were talking the same game the whole time. "We're gonna deter crime by being tough," and it got us here.

They spend 15 million on violence prevention. Unless you invest in the prevention, then the police and the prosecution are, frankly, cleaning up the mess. - It's great we're thinking long-term, but what about the now? Many people are saying we're scared right now. - Well, how did we get to now? We got to now because, last time this came up, everybody said, "We want a solution now. We don't want to actually do stuff that works, stuff that's hard. Stuff that's different makes us uncomfortable. We just want to do something now." We need to put money in schools, we need to put money into drug treatment, we need to prosecute in different ways. - But your office can't put money into schools. How are you--I'm just trying to get that clear. - So when you say we can't put money in schools, oh, yes, we can. The fact is that the amount of money that is spent when a judge decides to give a 50 year sentence where the appropriate sentence might have been 10 is on the order of $2.1 million, okay?

That part... it resonates in my heart every day. [phone trilling] - Communications. Yeah, this is Ben. - This afternoon, US Attorney William McSwain lobbied a volley of criticism against Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner. -The policies that his office is pursuing are a danger to Philadelphia. There's a very very strong correlation here. Common sense tells you if you're pursuing an anti-law enforcement agenda, and then homicides go up, that has something to do with it. When the office leads the charge for lenient bail conditions, when the office consistently undercharges violent crime cases, when its overall stated priority is decarceration, and when the District Attorney refers to himself as a Public Defender with power, violent criminals take notice of all of that and they become emboldened. - I'm confident that the policies have not been the cause of the rise in the number of shootings. We haven't seen anything in the data. - Alright, there are things I need to understand here. I see your overall numbers for recidivism. - We actually calculated how many additional people were released because of the policy. It's like 2000 people, it's a big number. And there weren't negative side effects with recidivism or with failure to appear. - These policies that were so, you know, attacked, worked. - Yeah. - Thelma and Louise haven't quite gone off the cliff yet. - It's unusual where you have external, independent professors at two different schools, evaluate your policy and basically say, "Yeah, what you wanted to happen, happened." The office is putting fear into the hearts of law-abiding citizens who have to deal with the terror of homicide and other violent crime in their neighborhood. - Nobody here is pro-crime. [bleep] him twice. - It's an attempt to stir up fear in a city where this man doesn't even live. So let's talk about science. - All right, you ready? - I got this. - All right. - Yeah. [laughs] - We have to have conversations around criminal justice that are based in fact, that are based in evidence and based in science. What is not called science is claiming that it's quote, "Common sense," unquote, that if homicides go up, then they were caused by the District Attorney. And what's even less scientific is to put up a prepared board, showing the levels of homicides over the last six years, which shows that homicides went up for five consecutive years, and blame the District Attorney's administration that's been in one year. That is what just happened. - Critics say that too often, people cherry pick statistics, maybe McSwain's doing it in this case, and you're doing it with that report. What would you say to those critics? That everyone tries to-- - Mr. McSwain is essentially not presenting any statistics. What he said is that it's common sense. That if homicides go up for the fifth consecutive year, it's all my fault. We did our own data, metrics, analysis, which came to certain conclusions about bail reform. That is called science. - His argument is as you let more violent criminals out, those criminals are on the streets. That also attracts more criminals to those areas. And you're going to have more violent crime. That's his rationale. - People can say anything. Here's the reality. - Doesn't that-- - Here's the reality. Let me answer your question. He can give me a report in which he can show me that any one of those things is true. But we all know the truth. He doesn't have one. - Don't you guys have to find some way, personally, to work together for the betterment of the citizens? - This was done for reasons that are political. And the reality is that... Just one second, may I finish? I also am mindful that when you deal with a bully, sometimes they're not interested in working together. And sometimes all that you can do is control your own behavior. - Well, another press conference with Larry Krasner. This is not the happiest I've ever seen Larry Krasner, but, you know, he-- Larry walks to the beat of his own drum. - Even if you're doing a policy really well, there are outliers. There's going to be times when things go wrong and people get hurt. It's incredibly hard for data to win out over emotion. There are those narratives out there that reform is related to violence. And even if they're not true, it just becomes political capital. I mean risk is a big part of it.
