Woman gets 5 to 10 months in group attack on gay men
PHILADELPHIA (AP/WTXF) -- A police chief's daughter has been sentenced to 5 to 10 months in jail, 2 years probation and a $2,000 fine in an attack on a gay couple that prompted Philadelphia to expand its hate crime laws to include sexual orientation.
Jurors convicted 25-year-old Kathryn Knott of simple assault and two other misdemeanors in the September 2014 attack, which occurred as she and her friends from suburban Bucks County were celebrating a birthday in downtown Philadelphia.
