Judge Agrees To Hear Resentencing Motion In Gay-Bashing Case

A Philadelphia judge Tuesday agreed to hear a resentencing motion in the case of Kathryn Knott, the Bucks County woman jailed for her participation in an attack on a gay couple in Center City in 2014.

Common Pleas Court Judge Roxanne Covington set a 9 a.m. hearing on March 8 "to consider the merits" of a motion filed by defense attorney William J. Brennan. The motion asks Covington to reconsider the five-to-10-month jail sentence she handed down to Knott last month.
