State Attorney General Kathleen Kane became the focal point of a hearing Wednesday in the criminal case against Rep. Louise Bishop, D-Philadelphia, when prosecutors alleged Kane received some of the same racist and pornographic emails she has said demonstrate the “old boys’ network” among Pennsylvania judges and prosecutors.
After the hearing, which ended with Bishop pleading no contest to one count of failing to report, prosecutors said Kane had received emails linking her to an unfolding scandal involving racist and pornographic communications sent among state prosecutors and members of the judiciary. Prosecutor Mark Gilson of the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office, who was the lead prosecutor in the Bishop case, said Kane had received 11 emails, and her sister, Office of Attorney General employee Ellen Granahan, had also received 58 emails.
