Norristown, PA -- Former attorney general Kathleen Kane (DEMOCRAT) has to report to the slammer by 9 a.m. Thursday, more than two years after she was convicted for leaking grand jury information and then lying about it through her 52-year-old teeth.
Kane had been free on %75,000 bail while she appealed her 10-to-23-month sentence. The Supreme Court on Monday announced that it declined to take up her case.
"Given that the rationale for (the) defendant remaining at liberty pending appeal has expired, post-sentence bail is revoked,” Judge Wendy Demchick-Alloy write in ordering Kane to report to the Montgomery County Correctional Facility. Demchick-Alloy formally directed the Lackawanna County sheriff to serve a copy of her order on Kane, who lives in Scranton, PA.
The Montgomery County district attorney’s office formally requested the order earlier Tuesday, arguing the Supreme Court decision was the end of the legal road for Kane. She's on her way to prison where she will don the gay orange apparel and deck the halls with a mop.
"Two different appellate courts have reviewed her case, yet her judgment of sentence remains," wrote District Attorney Kevin Steele. "She received a fair trial, her guilt was proven beyond a reasonable doubt and now it is time for her to serve her sentence."

So another Dem bites the proverbial dust.
"The Pennsylvania Supreme Court's denial of discretionary review should be considered the conclusion of (Kane's) avenues for direct appeal in state court," Steele argued.
Kane was convicted of two counts of felony perjury and seven misdemeanors, including obstruction and conspiracy.
The first woman and first Democrat to be elected as Pennsylvania’s attorney general, Kane resigned from office after her October 2016 conviction. As Trump would say, she should be ashamed of herself.
