What Happened
- Federal Referral: U.S. District Judge Paul S. Diamond referred Krasner and an assistant district attorney to the U.S. Department of Justice on September 15, 2026. [1, 2]
- Potential Charges: The judge stated that Krasner and his aide may have committed perjury, obstruction of justice, and conspiracy during a post-conviction appeal for Dennis Johnson, who was convicted of second-degree murder in 2009. [1, 2, 3]
- Disqualification: Judge Diamond removed Krasner and Assistant DA Matthew Stiegler from participating further in that specific case. [1]
- Krasner’s Response: Krasner strongly disagreed with the rulings and stated he plans to appeal to a higher court. He is not currently in jail; the referral initiates an investigation rather than imposing criminal charges or incarceration. [1, 2, 3]
