Pennsylvania House members debated passionately on Nov. 16 before voting to impeach Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, saying he violated his oath of office by enforcing policies that have been a direct cause of rising crime in Philadelphia.

The next step is for the state Senate to conduct a trial, in which a two-thirds vote is required to remove Krasner.
