Modus Operandi? Pennsylvania Judge Suspected of Shooting Boyfriend…Five Years After Shooting Her Former Husband

Dauphin County Magisterial District Judge Sonya M. McKnight, 57, is facing a case of modus operandi this week. However, the suspect showing the alleged pattern of criminal conduct is herself. McKnight is accused of shooting her ex-boyfriend in the head while he slept. The shooting took place five years after McKnight was cleared in the shooting of her former husband in the groin.

Michael McCoy, 54, was left blind in one eye and, according to the New York Post, McKnight tried to convince him that he had shot himself while he was sleeping.

…

McCoy said that he went to bed around 11:00 p.m. only to wake up later with “massive head pain” and unable to see. He said that McKnight came into the bedroom and asked, “Mike, what did you do to yourself?” …

For an alleged accidental shooting, the shot was remarkably well placed and should have been lethal. The bullet entered McCoy’s right temple and exited his left temple. He is still blinded in his right eye.

Police found a gun registered to McKnight and her hands tested positive for gunshot residue.

McKnight was also accused of lying about her movements. She told police that she did not leave the home but that is contradicted by a neighbor’s security camera. McCoy is reportedly suspicious that the judge may have followed him to the tavern.

McKnight is now suspended from the bench . . .

Oh. Goodie! Some progress is being made in our judicial system! But gunning for Trump is still admissible.

The arrest has brought new attention to the 2019 case.

Her former husband, Enoch McKnight, was shot in the groin after a history of domestic disputes and protective orders. He was helping McKnight move her furniture out of the home when he was shot. She had reportedly asked him to come over to help her. He claimed that she shot him and called him a “cheater.”

It is not clear from accounts of what her defense was in the earlier incident, . . .

. . . because courts don’t keep records of trials . . .

. . . but no charges were filed.

Beware of what this judge chambers.
