Summary

Philadelphia’s District Attorney Larry Krasner promised reform.
Instead, he’s delivered a revolving door for violent offenders.

From Officer James O’Connor IV to Kada Scott, lives keep ending the same way — with suspects his office already had, and already let go.

In this explosive interview, former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole to expose how ideology, ego, and neglect turned Philadelphia into a test lab for failed justice:
• Why Krasner’s violent-crime conviction rate collapsed to 33%.
• How dropped gun and assault cases fueled record homicides.
• What internal culture protects prosecutors but abandons victims.
• And whether this pattern amounts to prosecutorial malpractice.

Krasner calls it progress. Philadelphia calls it survival.
This is Hidden Killers — where reform meets reality, and the truth doesn’t blink.
