"Suspended Judge Sonya McKnight Charged with Attempted Murder for Shooting Estranged Boyfriend"
Pennsylvania judge Sonya M. McKnight, who had been suspended from the bench amid misconduct allegations, has been charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault after allegedly shooting her estranged boyfriend in the head. This incident comes after McKnight was previously cleared of charges for shooting her ex-husband in 2019. Her boyfriend survived the shooting but is now blind in his right eye. McKnight is currently held in Dauphin County Prison on a $300,000 bail. The case has been transferred to a neighboring prosecutor due to a conflict of interest.
