Pennsylvania Attorney General Convicted of Perjury and Obstruction

[lostinblue 1,989]

When she took office four years ago, Kathleen Kane, the first Democrat and first woman elected Pennsylvania attorney general, was thought to have a promising political career ahead of her. But, on Monday, that came to an end when a jury convicted her of all nine counts in a perjury and obstruction case. She faces up to seven years in prison for each of two felony perjury counts.

It took jurors just four-and-a-half hours to conclude that Kane leaked secret grand-jury documents to the press to discredit her rival, former state prosecutor Frank Fina. The case was part of a larger web of scandal and political rivalries that led to several state officials, including two state-supreme-court justices, losing their jobs.

Sad story...she cannot say she did not know the law. The only thing in her favor is the possibility of an appeal because the judge suppressed the original "crime" that started it all and the jury was not allowed to be prejudiced with the nasty behavior of the judges she took down.
