PHILADELPHIA: Witnesses Implicate Alleged Gay-Basher Kathryn Knott As Trial Continues

Alleged gay-basher Kathryn Knott had a bad day in court today. Philly.com reports:

A second witness to a group assault on a gay couple in Center City last year Friday implicated Kathryn Knott as the woman who punched one of the victims.

Knott, 25, of Southampton, Bucks County, who is not in custody and has pleaded not guilty, is on trial before a Philadelphia Common Pleas jury on charges of aggravated assault, conspiracy, and related offenses.

Michelle Moore, 21, testified that she and two girlfriends were waiting at a bus stop on Walnut Street, near 16th, on the night of Sept. 11, 2014, when “we heard a loud noise,” then ran toward the commotion.

They ran south on 16th Street. At the intersection of Chancellor Street, an alley just south of Walnut, they saw “a bunch of white kids all dressed nicely,” she said, involved in arguments, with some fighting and some looking on as bystanders.

Another witness implicated Knott yesterday. Both of Knott’s alleged accomplices pleaded guilty in October and were sentenced to probation and community service.
