Remains of 23-year-old Philly woman found in shallow grave after suspect had TWO cases WITHDRAWN by Soros DA Larry Krasner

The human remains found in a shallow grave over the weekend have been confirmed via DNA to belong to Kada Scott, a missing Philadelphia woman, per local news. The suspect in the kidnapping and death of Scott is Keon King, a 21-year-old man who had been allowed to go free despite being charged twice in a eerily similar cases in the alst year.

Philly DA Larry Krasner now says that allowing King to go free was a mistake.

Scott, 23, was last seen on Oct. 4 after reporting for an overnight shift at a senior-living facility. Her car was later discovered parked at the site, and investigators found several of her personal belongings nearby — including her glasses, cellphone case, iPad case, and bank card.

The suspect, King, had been charged twice in the past year with violently assaulting a former girlfriend — including kidnapping her and choking her inside his car. In both cases, however, the victim failed to appear in court, leading prosecutors to withdraw the charges. Following Scott’s disappearance, as investigators worked urgently to locate her, the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office acknowledged that was a mistake.

Recently, footage of the suspect went viral on social media.

"One of those cases — King’s alleged assault and abduction of the woman in January — was largely captured on video, prosecutors say, so the case could have moved forward even without the woman’s testimony," the Inquirer reports.

“Everyone involved at this point, including the [initial prosecutor], agrees that we wish this happened differently,” Assistant DA Toczylowski said on Thursday.

"The reason they had to worry he was going to come out of the same door they went in the courthouse right after they testified against him is because he was on bail," said Krasner.

King was able to post 10% of $200,000 bail in his first kidnapping arrest. When pressed as to why the DA's office didn't press for a higher bail amount, Krasner called it a "strategic decision." 

"You have the option of trying to do what is often a midnight or three o'clock in the morning telephonic appeal to a municipal court judge," said Krasner. "The unfortunate reality of this is that some, but not all of these judges, don't want you calling them in the middle of the night. And if you do, they lower the bail. They don't raise it, they don't leave it. They lower it. So it is always a complex, strategic decision."

In the case of Kada Scott, King is being held on $2.5 million bail and remains in custody pending a preliminary hearing scheduled for next month.
