Former Pennsylvania attorney general Kathleen Kane walked free from prison on Wednesday after serving eight months behind bars for leaking grand jury material in order to smear a political rival and then lying about it.
Kane was jailed at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility in Philadelphia where she was due to serve a sentence of 10 to 23 months. But she was released two months earlier than the minimum amount of time that a judge ordered her to serve due to 'good behavior'.
When she emerged from the prison about 8.20am on Wednesday, she told reporters she was 'grateful' to be free. She was accompanied by two policewoman as she was greeted by a large media presence assembled outside.
The 53-year-old, who was carrying two brown paper bags filled with her belongings, was greeted by family members in a black Mercedes SUV.
