Pennsylvania Judge Convicted in Shooting Case

A Dauphin County judge, Sonya McKnight, has been convicted for shooting her ex-boyfriend in the head while he was asleep. The jury found her guilty of attempted homicide and aggravated assault. Testimony during the trial included a chilling account from the ex-boyfriend, who described the incident as a potential brain aneurysm. Despite her conviction, removal from the bench is not automatic, and her defense attorney has announced plans to appeal the verdict. The trial reportedly cost taxpayers nearly $20,000 in jury fees.
