Kathleen Kane, Pennsylvania’s former attorney general, has been sentenced to 10 to 23 months in jail and eight years of probation for perjury, official oppression and related charges, after a jury found that she was guilty of deliberately leaking secret investigative information, then lying about it under oath.
Kane is set to serve her jail sentence at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility. Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas Judge Wendy Demchick-Alloy said any sentence less than total incarceration would depreciate the seriousness of the crime. She set bail at $75,000 and denied requests by Kane’s lawyers for 24 hours to raise money for bail.
