A cautionary tale from our home state of Pennsylvania, where this week Attorney General Kathleen Kane was convicted of felony perjury for leaking secret grand jury documents to a newspaper and then trying to cover it up.

In this special #longread edition of Lawyers Behaving Badly, David explains how Pennsylvania's top prosecutor, once considered a rising star in state politics, came to face possible prison time herself. It's a long and complicated story with a pointed lesson: Don't, don't, DON'T leak grand jury material. (And if you do, definitely don't text about it.)
