HARRISBURG – Pennsylvania’s attorney general said she’ll be inside a Philadelphia courtroom to hear the Supreme Court consider whether a judge had the authority to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate her.
Attorney General Kathleen Kane said after a budget hearing in Harrisburg Tuesday she intends to witness first-hand the oral arguments in her legal challenge to the special prosecutor Thomas Carluccio.
The grand jury run by Carluccio recommended Kane be charged with perjury and other crimes stemming from allegations that her office gave secret grand jury material to a newspaper.
Kane’s lawyers saidy there’s no legal basis or constitutional grounds for a judge to appoint Carluccio with full powers to investigate and prosecute.
The Supreme Court hearing is scheduled for today.
