UPDATE:

Kathleen Kane's prosecutors made a case for the former attorney general to spend a "significant" amount of time in prison, arguing that she violated her oath to uphold the law and then showed no remorse after she was found guilty at her August jury trial.

Montgomery County prosecutors pointed to public statements Kane made on Aug. 17, her last day in office prior to her resignation taking effect, that she "had no regrets."

"It seems that Kane continues to argue that her legal troubles are the result of her simply doing her job as best she could and that she believes she has done nothing wrong," the court filing reads. "This interview illustrates Kane's clear lack of remorse for her criminal acts."

The 27-page filing also includes details from Kane's presentencing investigation.

"People tend to play it safe. People elected me to do a job and I will do it," Kane reportedly said. In the same interview, she described her current legal woes as the result of a "30-second decision."

"This statement is simply not true," prosecutors wrote.

Kane's decision to seek out damaging information about a rival who she believed had publicly embarrassed her and then gather documents from a grand jury case were "calculated, deliberate steps and were not impulsive in any way," they wrote.

The prosecutors argued for Kane to serve out her sentence for her various criminal charges, including felony perjury, consecutively--as opposed to concurrently, which would reduce her time in jail--and that she be incarcerated in a prison, "so as to not depreciate the seriousness of the crimes she was convicted of."

Kane's attorneys, meanwhile, asked Judge Wendy Demchick-Alloy to consider Kane for house arrest, citing her responsibility to her two sons and her status as a nonviolent offender with no previous criminal history. On Monday, the judge ordered an assessment of her suitability to serve out her sentence from home.

"The thought of losing my kids over a job kills me," Kane told presentencing investigators, according to the prosecutors' sentencing memorandum.

Prosecutors, however, argued to the lasting impact Kane's decisions had on the Attorney General's Office, the legal system and J. Whyatt Mondesire, the former NAACP president who was the subject of the grand jury investigation from which Kane orchestrated the leak of documents. He was never charged with a crime, but the led to immediate consequences for him.

Mondesire's fiance and business partner, Catherine Hicks, testified that he was publicly ostracized and that the resulting stress exacerbated existing health conditions. Last year, he died of a heart attack.

"He internalized a lot of the hurt and embarrassment," Hicks testified, at Kane's August trial. "It just took a toll."

Kane's actions also destroyed morale within her office, prosecutors wrote, and diminished the reputation of the office and law enforcement generally.

"Kane's actions have eroded the public's trust and confidence in law enforcement across the commonwealth," they wrote, "and, in turn, her crimes have caused incalculable damage to the reputation of police and prosecutors."

According to prosecutors, Kane could face a maximum sentence of between 12 and 24 years, although the judge has the discretion to hand down a far shorter prison term.

The judge is expected to hand down a sentence on Oct. 24.
