Pa. judge Sonya McKnight convicted of shooting sleeping boyfriend in the head

A Pennsylvania judge accused of shooting her ex-boyfriend in the head while he slept may spend decades behind bars — as she was convicted of attempted homicide and aggravated assault charges Wednesday.

After two hours of deliberations, a jury convicted Sonya M. McKnight, a magisterial judge in Dauphin County, on both charges she faced — one count of attempted murder and one count of aggravated assault.

McKnight, 58, who has held the elected role since 2016, was taken away in handcuffs after the trial judge rejected a defense request that she be released.

She was taken outside the county for incarceration because she sent many defendants to Dauphin County Prison during her nine years on the bench, PennLive reported.
