Former Pennsylvania AG Kane seeks to reverse perjury conviction in Superior Court

[TexasTowelie]

Former Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane’s fight to reverse her perjury conviction reached the state Superior Court Wednesday, another milestone in a long march that so far has kept Kane from serving a county jail sentence.

Her appeals lawyer, Joshua D. Lock, appeared before a three-judge panel to ask it to undo Kane's August 2016 conviction of illegally leaking grand jury information to embarrass a political foe and then lying to investigators about it.

In addressing the court panel Wednesday, Mr. Lock focused on one argument — that the special prosecutor who investigated Ms. Kane had been granted too much power.

Ms. Kane, 51 and a Scranton-area resident, did not attend Wednesday’s court session in Philadelphia. Facing 10 to 23 months in the Montgomery County jail, Ms. Kane remains free while she pursues her appeal in the state courts.

1. Post-Gazette editorial page despises Kane

Shribman, editor of the editorial page, is a diehard Republican, although he likes to fashion himself as a moderate/centrist. His editorial page has hated on Kane for years all while ignoring the politically motived prosecutions (Veon, Fumo, Perzel) designed to clear out anyone who might derail his gubnatorial ambitions. that went on while Corbett was AG.

The PG conveniently ignored that the entire, also secret, Sandusky GJ testimony that was "inadvertently" posted online by Corbett's interim successor and stayed there long enough for anyone interested to download before being pulled. Leaking that supposed to be secret GJ testimony never merited an editorial peep.
