Ex-Pennsylvania Attorney General faces sentencing read more at here www.spinonews.com/index.php/item/1386-ex-pennsylvania-attorney-general-faces-sentencing

Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane resigned from office in disgrace after being convicted of multiple crime regards caused from a politically motivated act of retribution.

Now a judge will decide whether her abuse of her elected office was enough to send her to prison.

Kane, who will appear in court for sentencing Monday, faces a prison sentence of up to two years for perjury and obstruction, according to a brief obtained by the Legal Intelligencer.

An attorney representing Kane told that she has deep remorse for violating the trust of Pennsylvania residents.

But the attorney said a prison sentence wouldn't be necessary because the loss of her position and law career was punishment enough.

Prosecutors, however, said that her crimes which have tarnished the attorney general's office and ruined an activist's life in the process warranted time behind bars.

On Monday morning, a judge will determine whether Kane must serve time behind bars, remain under house arrest, or simply get probation.

In Kane's sentencing memo, her attorney argued to the judge that the former attorney general has been punished enough since she had to step down from elected office and could be disbarred given her status as a now convicted felon.

 In addition, prosecutors said Kane, who wants to focus on parenting her two teenage sons, was not at risk of re-offending, nor was she a threat to society.
