Kathryn Knott, who was convicted of assaulting a gay couple in Philadelphia in 2014 won’t receive the reduced sentence she requested.
Philly.com reported that Common Pleas Court Judge Roxanne Covington called appropriate the five- to 10-month prison term she imposed on Kathryn Knott and chided Knott for a “complete disconnection with the incident itself and a failure to take personal responsibility herself for the crimes she was convicted of.”
In 2015 Knott was found guilty of simple assault and conspiracy to commit simple assault against Zachary Hesse, one of two victims, as well as reckless endangerment against Hesse and his partner, Andrew Haught.
Covington told the 25-year-old Knott that she remained “in need of correction” and that a lesser sentence would “depreciate the seriousness of the crimes.”
In addition to her jail time, Knott has been sentenced to two years of probation and a $2,000 fine, and was ordered to attend anger management classes.
