The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has denied former Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane’s bid for an appeal in her criminal case, finalizing a lower appellate court’s decision to affirm her conviction on perjury and related charges.

In an order filed Monday afternoon, the court denied Kane’s petition for allowance of appeal.
