HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – The Latest on the Pennsylvania attorney general’s last day in office after her criminal conviction and resignation (all times local):

4:30 p.m.

Convicted Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane says her last day in office is bittersweet.

Kane spoke to reporters Wednesday as she entered the attorney general’s offices in Scranton on her last day. She didn’t discuss her conviction or potential appeal. She’s scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 24 and jail time is possible.

Kane is resigning following Monday’s conviction on charges she abused the powers of the state’s top law enforcement office by leaking secret grand jury information to smear a rival and lying under oath to cover it up.
