Ex-attorney general sentenced to jail, then cuffed in court

 

Kane enjoyed mostly good press early on as she supported gay marriage, ramped up a child predator unit run by her twin sister and questioned her predecessor's handling of the Penn State sex assault case.

 

But turmoil inside the office became apparent as top deputies and career prosecutors headed for the doors. Kane's feud with one of them, Frank Fina, who had helped run the Penn State probe and other sensitive investigations, led to the leak.

 

Kane, taking aim at him, had a campaign consultant pass confidential files to a reporter about a corruption case Fina had declined to charge before he left the office. She then tried to frame someone else for the leak, aides testified at the perjury and obstruction trial.

 

Aside from the conviction, Kane's political career will be remembered for her investigation of pornography that she said was being traded on state computers by judges, lawyers and other public employees. Two state Supreme Court justices resigned amid the fallout.

Wow. The headlines sure have changed for her.

 

 

I suspect where there's smoke there's fire. But I also suspect she created a lot of enemies and became a big fat target due to this:

Don't ask, don't tell.

There is one heck of a lot of slime in this story.

 

She investigates many in the Pennsylvania justice system including many judges, prosecutors and even Supreme Court Justices. Some are forced to resign over the issue.

 

Now she is being prosecuted by that same system and sent to jail.

 

Hmmmm....It would be nice if an outside law enforcement agency would take a look at this case to make sure this isn't retaliation for her messing up their porn ring.
