Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane has said the emails sent and received by her sister, Ellen Granahan, which appear to contain purported jokes about race, domestic violence and male nudity, are not offensive and did not raise concerns when the Office of Attorney General reviewed them. But other attorneys say that determination should be made by an outside authority.
The OAG released the emails involving Granahan to some news outlets late Wednesday, after a prosecutor from the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office said Kane and Granahan received emails linking them to racist and pornographic communications among state officials. Prosecutor Mark Gilson said Kane received 11 such emails, and Granahan received 58, after a hearing Wednesday at which state Rep. Louise Williams Bishop, D-Philadelphia, pleaded no contest to one count of failing to report.
