Prosecutors asked a judge to revoke bail for former Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane (D) “after the state’s top court denied her final appeal, clearing the way for her to begin serving a jail sentence for perjury and other crimes,” Reuters reports.
“The jury convicted Kane on charges of perjury, false swearing, obstruction of justice, official oppression and conspiracy. She was sentenced to serve 10 to 23 months in jail.”
