Kane, investigators spar over who had access to Supreme Court porn emails

Penn Live

Conflicting information surfaced Wednesday about who had access to Supreme Court Justice Michael Eakin's private emails which reportedly contained pornographic and racially offensive material.

Attorney General Kathleen Kane uncovered the larger email exchange last year during her review of the Sandusky case, resulting in the resignation of another justice, Seamus McCaffery. A review of the emails by Pittsburgh attorney Robert Byer found no additional improprieties by the remaining justices.

Byer's work was called into question when the contents of some of Eakin's emails were published by the Philadelphia Daily News, which obtained them through an anonymous source.

In the wake of their release, the Judicial Conduct Board (JCB) that reviews jurist misconduct released a statement indicating that Kane's office had not provided all of the emails it had on its servers last year in order to perform a full review.
