The Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office wants to move firearm crimes through the courts faster using a modified version of an old tool: gun court.
This specialized court started holding preliminary hearings without much fanfare on March 8, a decade after the city shut down its first seven-year experiment with it. Gun court judges only hear cases such as illegal firearm possession, aggravated assaults, burglaries, and robberies that involve the use of guns, while other, more serious gun-related offenses, such as homicides, are separated out.
“Shootings are still being done in the same courtrooms with homicide preliminary hearings and with the same judges,” said District Attorney Larry Krasner while recently touting efforts to move these cases through the courts.

Updated at 8:55 p.m.
Police have arrested nine men allegedly responsible for a series of retaliatory shootings that took place between 2016 and 2020 in West and Southwest Philadelphia.
Investigators with the Philadelphia Gun Violence Task Force used surveillance footage, evidence culled from social media, and witnesses to make the arrests and clear 19 shooting incidents, including three homicides. Authorities believe the shootings were fueled by an ongoing feud between a pair of rival gangs in the area.

PHILADELPHIA A Philadelphia Police officer is being charged and fired after authorities said he lied under oath about seeing a drug deal, leading to an unlawful arrest.
On Wednesday Officer James Saxton, 34, was arrested by the Philadelphia Police Department s Internal Affairs Division, following an investigation that found that Saxton lied under oath.
On May 16, 2019, Saxton was sworn in as a witness in a preliminary hearing regarding the arrest of the complainant. The statements provided by Saxton during the hearing and the paperwork he submitted involving the arrest of the complainant were inconsistent with videos that recorded the incident.
