The Montgomery County District Attorney's Office has released the
booking mugshot of Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane, the
first
woman and first Democrat elected to the post in state history. The
photo was taken Saturday in Norristown, Pa., where Kane turned herself
in to county detectives. She was released on $10,000 bail after
arraignment and is scheduled to return to Montgomery County on August 24
for a preliminary hearing on the charges. Kane has been charged with
five felonies,
including perjury and obstruction, for allegedly leaking secret grand
jury material to embarrass political rivals and then lying about it
under oath.The 49-year-old Kane has refused repeated calls to resign but
has lost most of her political allies, including fellow Democrat Gov.
Tom Wolf, who urged her to resign after charges were announced Thursday.
