Pennsylvania voters elect their first woman and first Democrat to be the state's attorney general.
Kathleen Kane achieved two firsts in her Pennsylvania attorney general election victory: She defeated Republican David Freed 56 to 41 percent in unofficial results from Tuesday's voting. Kane won the support of Lehigh Valley voters on her way to statewide success: Lehigh County Northampton County Kane, 46, is a former Lackawanna County prosecutor who will now oversee an office with a staff of about 700 and subject to legislative battles over a budget that now stands at $81 million, according to a Philly.com report. Kane had a slight fundraising edge in the race. Both candidates pledged a review of the Jerry Sandusky child rape case and its handling by former Attorney General Tom Corbett, now the state's governor.

John Duzicky ordered to serve six to 12 years in a state penitentiary.
John Duzicky’s voice cracked as he apologized to a Beaver County Court judge for leaving the state and failing to return for his sentencing on drug charges in January. “I was scared. I was backed into a corner and did not know where to go,” Duzicky, 39, formerly of Aleppo, said Wednesday before his sentencing. But Beaver County Common Pleas Judge John P. Dohanich told Duzicky that he should also be apologizing to his family members, friends, attorney and the prosecution. All of them showed up that day, only to be disappointed by his absence, the judge said. “You let them down . . . you let me down,” Dohanich said. “I let you out on bond . . . and then you didn’t show up. That’s not right, Mr. Duzicky . . . and because you didn’t show up, …

Roger - your point has been pretty consistent. You want the investigation to end for two reasons: One - We all do wrong and people just want to continue this to make themselves feel better about our own crimes and misdemeanors.
