She served as a special assistant U.S Attorney and was a deputy district attorney in San Joaquin County. Krell says she prosecuted murder, organized crime, human trafficking, domestic violence and white-collar cases.  She angered her progressive colleagues when she publicly defied Democratic leaders in attempting to pass harsher penalties for soliciting sex from 16- and 17-year-olds.
