Judge Refuses Convicted Philly Gay Hate Attacker's Request To End Jail Sentence

http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/davidbadash/breaking_judge_refuses_convicted_philly_gay_hate_attacker_s_request_to_end_jail_sentence

Kathryn Knott will not be getting out of jail any time soon. The convicted Philadelphia anti-gay hate attacker who refused a generous plea deal, insisting she was innocent, will have to serve her 5-10 month sentence, a judge Monday morning ordered.

"The sentence is well within the guidelines and is as appropriate as I can provide within the law and shall remain," Judge Roxanne Covington told Knott and her new attorney, Bill Brennan. "The motion is denied," Philly Voice reports.

Brennan had requested Judge Covington consider allowing his client to record a public service announcement in exchange for removing her jail sentence. The argument Knott's attorney made was she should not have been given a stiffer sentence than the one her two accomplices were given in the plea bargain they agreed to.

"We're disappointed that some of the options we presented were not granted," Brennan told reporters. "I thank and applaud Judge Covington for allowing our process to take place in an open court. I can deal with a denial. I can't deal with a non-response or a stonewall."


Well, at least she'll learn a trade. Making license plates!

...for her actions. Poor thing, her daddy the sheriff couldn't pull any strings and subvert justice... you know, like he usually does for his little girl. And that judge, must be a fag-lover...

Poor little Kathryn, thought good ol' boy influence would get her off scott-free, so she refused to take a plea deal... AND LOST. And now she wants do-overs???

Ya know, Kathryn, I bet the two guys you helped brutally attack - yes, CCTV caught you throwing punches, even though you swore you didn't - would like do-overs also... maybe no smashed in faces or broken jaws...

...and you a medical worker... left that poor guy, damn near mortally wounded laying in a pool of his own blood and just skittered away laughing, making fag jokes.

Fuck you.
