A young mother, Brooke Knight, was released from the hospital just a week after giving birth to join her partner, Lance Gray, in committing an aggravated robbery in Hamilton. At the time, she had another sick child hospitalized. The couple entered a home, where Knight assaulted a wheelchair-bound woman and they stole $100 and cigarettes. Gray has already been sentenced to prison for his role in the crime, while Knight recently faced sentencing in the Hamilton District Court for her participation in the robbery.
