Pennsylvanias political world is waiting word from attorney general Kathleen Kane. Will she resign now these shes been found guilty of all nine counts in her perjury trial or will she wait until sentencing to stepdown annie mccorp chicago live at the Montgomery County courthouse where that verdict was read last night. Annie. Reporter matt, even before the verdict came down a number of lawmakers have been asking attorney general Kathleen Kane to resign but those calls came again last night including from governor tom wolf. She says shes going to appeal. Jurors handed down guilty verdicts on nine counts including two for felony perjury after a week of testimony where some of attorney general Kathleen Kanes former top advisers testified for the prosecution, the jury believed she leaked secret investigative documents and grand jury information to the media, then lied under on this about it, all so she could get revenge against a former state prosecutor. Kanes legal team called no witnesses and did not put her on the stand. They argued prosecutors did not prove charges against kane including those for federal perjury. Last night kanes defense team spoke outside the courthouse. Montgomery County District attorney kevin steele also addressed the media. Seeing that we had somebody who felt that she was above the law. My client and her family, its a tragic, you know, beyond any measure and something that she has to deal with. Shes a very strong woman and she will deal with it. Reporter now, the current first Deputy Attorney general bruce castor who also happened to serve as Montgomery County District Attorney as a republican several years ago, he has called for a News Conference this afternoon at the Attorney Generals Office in harrisburg, but no word about what type of announcement that he he will make. Now, kane has not said again whether or not she will resign but per law she has to upon sentencing. That sentencing, though he, is not scheduled for another 90 days.

No. Okay, if you say so. Then you got to work out the rest of the day. Lets take a look right now at storm tracker6 live double scan. Few showers near surf city and toms river and we can certainly see those cells forming out Near State College with double scan ive got a closer view of this and that way you can see weve got a couple of showers trying to pop up here or there.

I was looking at this earlier, any time around 3 oclock you can start to see a cell form or two but this is a look at 5 oclock where it starts to get a little more organized and this model showing a line of storms really developing and moving through the area and you can tell by some of the colors here, the red and the purple, how intense these storms will be. That gives you an indication of how heavily its going to rain and when it comes down so quickly oftentimes you get hail and that could be the case today. So any time after 3 00 this is looking at 7 00 and still some cells in place. At 10 30, getting quieter after that but were watching because any one of these storms could be strong to severe. 94 degrees for your high. But its more humid than yesterday.

Any time after 3 00 we start to see those cells form and that could very quickly drop the temperature from 94 to 88 because were going to get that rain cooled atmosphere. A good idea to go to the beach if you want to avoid the heat early in the afternoon and the delaware beaches it will be about 89, new jersey beaches 86. Will you have a sea breeze but youre watching nor late day thunderstorm. We saw how most of that activity is moving from west to east so you may sneak in a good early afternoon but you got to be careful this is the last day of the extreme heat.

This is where route one and 95 meet up there in Mercer County. This we believe is a trash truck over on its side and you can just see debris everywhere on the roadway, off to the side, off in the trees even and were also hearing that theyre dealing with a fuel spillage out there as well. So chopper6 over what looks like it could be a scene for some time to come. Continuing our coverage right now with matt pelman. Yeah, what a trashy situation. Were about an hour into this situation in Lawrence Township Mercer County and the truck remains on its side with trash all over the ramp thats coming away from route one southbound coming away from the quakerbridge mall getting onto 95 southbound to head toward pennsylvania and bucks county. That ramp from one southbound to 95 southbound is blocked because of this truck on its side. Theres a heavy duty wrecker on the scene. Youve got some emergency crews otherwise also assisting but the ramp completely blocked off as you come south on one and as chopper pans back you can see that ramp shut down from one southbound to 95 southbound. So, if you keep going south on one you can exit for Franklin Corner road. Run that over to princeton pike and then take princeton pike back up to 95 southbound and from there you can work your way over to pennsylvania. But once you get on 95 in pennsylvania, weve got problems around center city. An accident that just happened about 10 minutes ago here in the southbound lanes right by the exit for the vine street expressway. Vehicle right there is facing the wrong way. Theres debris on the roadway. Southbound traffics only squeezing by there on the left side, on the Left Shoulder because now emergency crews are on the scene. And of course this is the spot on 95 where were busiest in the morning as people head into center city so already youre stacked solidly from allegheny avenue through this point at 676 the vine. Its going to be a mess on 95 southbound this morning. Well keep watching it. Were also watching a crash on the ramp from the roosevelt boulevard southbound to the schuylkill eastbound right where they meet up. That crash is mostly off to the side so luckily you can squeeze around that one without too much of a problem. And of course ive got some construction for you. Starting at 6 oclock this morning the flaggers have been out along richlieu road in bensalem so theyre going to be there all day today. Might want to stick with old lincoln highway or hulmeville road instead of richlieu road. Old york road is closed at jamison because of construction all week.
