PHILADELPHIA: Judge Denies Motion To Reconsider Prison Sentence For Gay-Basher Kathryn Knott

Kathryn Knott is staying in prison. Via the Philly Voice:

Judge Roxanne Covington on Monday denied a request to reconsider the sentence of Kathryn Knott, the Bucks County woman convicted of simple assault and related charges in the 2014 beating of a homosexual couple in Center City.

“The sentence is well within the guidelines and is as appropriate as I can provide within the law and shall remain,” Covington told Knott and her attorney, Bill Brennan, in court. “The motion is denied.”

Afterward, Brennan said he was disappointed by the judge’s decision, but thanked her for hearing the request.

“We’re disappointed that some of the options we presented were not granted,” he said. “I thank and applaud Judge Covington for allowing our process to take place in an open court. I can deal with a denial. I can’t deal with a non-response or a stonewall.”
