Lawyer reinstated after Kane firing amid settlement
James Barker, former supervisor of criminal appeals and grand juries, will rejoin the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General on November 2 after a settlement that includes back pay of $18,000 net, $52,000 for non wage losses, and $90,000 in attorneys’ fees to his lawyers. Barker’s testimony aided Montgomery County prosecutors in charging Kathleen Kane, who is appealing a perjury and obstruction conviction and remains free on bond. Barker was fired in April 2015 amid office restructuring and supervisory accountability concerns.
