Erie s Carl Knight grateful to be freed from life term in drug case

When he was sentenced to prison on Aug. 17, 1999, Carl Anthony Knight had every reason to believe he would die an inmate. Knight was convicted under the federal kingpin statute for leading the largest crack cocaine ring to operate in Erie up to that time. He and his associates were accused of smuggling crack weighing a total of 458 pounds 208 kilograms from New York City to Erie from 1993 to 1997. The total value of the drugs at the time: $20.8 million. Knight was the first person in Erie to be found guilty as a drug kingpin.

Four months later, at 28 years old, he got the mandatory sentence that went along with his ignominious role as the leader of a massive ring that trafficked in crack: a life term in federal prison.

Society must move toward a circular economy that reuses, not produces more waste. While the industry wants to double plastic production by 2050, they need it; we don’t. More plastic, more fossil fuels. All they’re doing is feeding themselves and burying us in single-use plastic. Micro-plastics and pellets get into land and water during transport and production. When wildlife and humans consume these particles, they can physically damage organs and leach hazardous

Businesses were opened, babies were born, dreams took shape. But in many ways, it felt like a chapter in our lives had been interrupted as circumstances forced us to refashion our goals and expectations. Perhaps the disappointments of 2020 enhance our collective sense of anticipation as we look forward to 2021.
