Prosecution Rests in Kane Case

Kane-TrialAfter an explosive Thursday, the prosecution rested their case earlier Friday.

Not before, however, a few more people testified.

According to Wallace McKelvey of the Patriot-News, Gabriel Stahl testified that senior agent David Peifer told her to scan and email documents to the Attorney General. These documents were the ones that were later leaked to the Philadelphia Daily News.

Speaking of which the author of that story, Chris Brennan, took the stand but refused to divulge his source.

“I’m going to respectfully decline to answer,” Brennan said.

Additionally, Laura McCrystal and Craig McCoy of the Inquirer reported on the effect that article had on its target.

“Everything changed after that article,” Catharine Hicks testified.

Hicks was engaged to the subject of the leak, Philadelphia NAACP leader J. Whyatt Mondesire. She asserted that Mondesire was devastated by the article and he died last year.
