Kathleen Kane Former Commonwealth attorney-general, jailed for leaking grand jury information and perjury

Former Commonwealth attorney-general,?Kathleen Kane jailed?for leaking grand jury information and perjury
Kathleen Kane, 52, had been free on $75,000 bail while she appealed her 10-to-23-month sentence. The state Supreme Court announced Monday that it had declined to take up her case.  
A Pennsylvania judge has ordered commonwealth’s former attorney general to report to prison by 9 a.m Thursday Nov 29th, more than two years after she was convicted for leaking grand jury information and lying about it.  

“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. 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.  

“Two different appellate courts have reviewed her case, yet her judgment of sentence remains. She received a fair trial, her guilt was proven beyond a reasonable doubt and now it is time for her to serve her sentence,” District Attorney Kevin Steele wrote 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. She had argued before Superior Court that she should have been allowed to use evidence of a pornographic email scandal that rocked the state’s judicial community as well as evidence related to the Jerry Sandusky child molestation case that her former office prosecuted.  

Steele’s bail revocation motion to Demchick-Alloy anticipated that Kane may have argued the judge had discretion to keep Kane out on bail while she “seeks further state review.”  The district attorney said that was only possible under a motion for the high court to reconsider its decision turning down her appeal, which he said could not be done simply to delay the sentence. He said a reconsideration application only could have been for delay purposes.  

“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. The lower appeals court also rejected Kane’s argument that she should have been allowed to prevent all Montgomery County judges from handling her case, as well as her claims that evidence against her was illegally obtained and that she had been the victim of selective and vindictive prosecution.

13yr old gang leader and his crew murdered for making threats towards an older gang (graphic video and photo)

A young boy and his fellow gang members were murdered in a gruesome manner after they recorded a video threatening an older gang in Brazil. In videos shared online, a group of young boys with their faces covered are seen making threats, one after the other. They were later caught by the older gang members who then tortured them then blew their heads out. The bodies of the young boys were then left on the street with their brains scattered all over the floor. The older group went on to share videos of them torturing the 13-year-old leader of the gang before killing him and the rest of his crew. A video of their corpse was also shared. The video of the 13-year-old gang leader being tortured is really pathetic because the boy looks so innocent and still has the face of a child. Here is a video of them making the threats. Here is one of the young gang leader being tortured. And here is a grisly video of the aftermath.

Nigerians Pay Homage To Nollywood’s Baddest Boy, Hanks Anuku

dailyadvent.com Mar 5, 2019 11:37 AM Twitter was in a lull until a user asked who the baddest boy of Nollywood was. View image on Twitter Abuja Minister - LLB, B.L,BBM, MG @Sir_BiolaPr Who was Nollywood's baddest guy? 1- Gentle Jack 2- Hanks Anuku 3- Segun Arinze 1,178 6:00 PM - Mar 3, 2019 966 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy Is this even a fair competition? This is like comparing Annalise Keating to Omotola Jolade’s character in Alter Ego. No one comes close to Hanks Anuku and his ‘broad’ voice and utterly incredible American+British+Australian accent. Whenever he’s robbing someone on a movie scene, you have no choice but to reduce the volume before the neighbours will run away. Segun Arinze was quite bad in Black Arrow. Gentle Jack rarely spoke. And I think the only person who came close to Hanks was late JT Tom West. Abuja Minister - LLB, B.L,BBM,...
