No Appeal For Gay-Basher Katherine Knott

Philadelphia Gay News reports:

It appears that Kathryn Knott will not file a full appeal of her prison sentence. Knott was convicted of assault and other charges in December, stemming from a 2014 gay-bashing incident, and sentenced to 5 to 10 months in prison Knott would have typically had 30 days after her Feb. 8 sentencing hearing to appeal to a higher court, but she filed a request for reconsideration — in which a defendant asks the sentencing judge to re-examine the sentence — which delayed the appeal deadline.

At a March 14 hearing, Covington denied Knott’s request for reconsideration. Knott then had 30 days from that hearing to appeal the original sentence, but no appeal was filed by that deadline. Assistant District Attorney Mike Attorney, who prosecuted the case with ADA Allison Ruth, confirmed that he was not notified of an appeal. “I guess she’s done with the legal system,” Barry said.
