Ex-Pa. Attorney General Kathleen Kane to Be Jailed By Thursday Morning
Former Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane must report to jail by Thursday morning to begin serving her sentence for convictions on perjury and other charges, reports The Philadelphia Inquirer.
She also was convicted of abusing the power of her office in an attempt to smear a perceived political enemy, according to Inquirer reporter Angela Couloumbis. She faces a 10-to-23-month sentence.
Kane, 52, was in the spotlight when she was elected in 2012. At the time, she was considered the Democratic Party’s rising star, and her name was often floated for higher office.
