"A large number of them are young," Krasner said, according to Philadelphia Magazine. "They are between the ages of 18 and 25. In general, what we’re seeing is that most of them have no criminal record or a minimal criminal record. … There are certainly some people in this group who are much more concerning than others. … Part of our task will be to make sure we do individual justice in each one of these cases."

In a interview with Fox 29, Krasner said he will look at if the looters are "fundamentally law abiding people" when reviewing their cases.
