As Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane’s criminal trial approaches, Montgomery County prosecutors are seeking to avoid the topic of pornographic emails, while Kane’s defense team has aimed to limit testimony on a corruption investigation she shut down.
Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele filed a motion in limine late Wednesday, in which he asked the court to exclude evidence of a selective and vindictive prosecution, referring to Kane’s argument that former Office of Attorney General prosecutors Frank Fina and E. Marc Costanzo orchestrated a plot to start a grand jury investigation into Kane. Their motive for doing so, Kane has argued, was to keep Kane from exposing their involvement in the exchange of pornographic emails on state email accounts. Based on that argument, Kane filed a motion to quash the charges against her, which was denied June 20.
