Former AG Kane starts jail term

Former Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane reported early Thursday to Montgomery County jail to serve a 10-to-23-month sentence for leaking grand jury material and lying about it. Kane was smiling as she arrived in a pickup truck. On Monday, the state Supreme Court declined to hear Kane’s appeal and on Wednesday, a county judge refused her request to remain free until she could make arrangements for her high-school-age sons.

What’s next? As a former law enforcement official, Kane could request special protection in prison.
