Or the lack thereof. Pennsylvania judge accused of shooting her ex-boyfriend as he slept is convicted of attempted homicide - CBS News
The shooting occurred on February 10, 2024 at the home of her ex-boyfriend, Michael McCoy, CBS affiliate WHP-TV reported. McKnight had lived there, but McCoy repeatedly asked her to leave when their relationship ended, authorities said.
McCoy testified that the last thing he heard McKnight say to him before the shooting was, "oh, so you're serious," in regards to his pleas for McKnight to move out, WHP-TV reported.
When judges don't respect the law, where exactly are we as a society?
Of course Magistrate Court Judges in Pennsylvania are elected, so I'm not shocked that a politician doesn't think the law applies to her.
She was suspended from the bench in 2023.
McKnight, an elected judge in Dauphin County since 2016, was suspended without pay in mid-November 2023 by the Court of Judicial Discipline, which handles misconduct allegations against judges. The Judicial Conduct Board, which investigates and charges misconduct cases against Pennsylvania judges, alleged in a September filing that McKnight violated judicial probation from a previous misconduct case centered on her actions regarding a 2020 traffic stop involving her son. She was acquitted of criminal charges in that matter.
The system investigated a judge and determined that the judge didn't do anything wrong. I'm sure that was a completely unbiased investigation.
