Gay-Basher Kathryn Knott Released From Prison

From Philadelphia Magazine:

Kathryn Knott is now a free woman. On Tuesday morning, Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Roxanne Covington heard Knott’s motion for parole. “Miss Knott has been an exemplary inmate,” argued Center City attorney William Brennan, Knott’s lawyer. “She completed anger management in a timely, quick fashion. And she elected not to appeal. That speaks volumes to her sincerity.”

The prosecution did not object to Knott’s parole, indicating that the victims had been notified and that they did not protest her release from jail, and Covington granted the release, effective immediately. A court clerk told Knott’s parents that the processing would take less than three hours, meaning Knott will be walking out of the courthouse a free woman on Tuesday afternoon.

But her legal troubles are far from over. The victims in the gay-bashing case have filed a civil lawsuit against Knott and the two other convicted attackers. Additionally, a Montgomery County woman who was behind an anti-Knott Internet account filed a $5 million lawsuit against Knott, alleging that Knott was part of a conspiracy against her.
