TACOMA, Wash. - Twenty-one-year-old Amanda Knight cried as she made her first court appearance Wednesday, pleading not guilty to murder, assault and robbery charges in a deadly Craigslist home invasion robbery.
Bail was set at $2 million.
Knight is charged along with 22-year-old Kiyoshi A. Higashi, 20-year-old Joshua N. Reese and 23-year-old Clabon T. Berniard in the killing of Jim Sanders, who had offered a ring for sale on Craigslist.
Members of the Sanders family were in court for Knight's arraignment.
"I'm thinking, 'she's crying,' what do you think you put my family through," said Jim Sanders' wife, Charlene. "I mean, really, you guys made that choice to come to my house."
"There's consequences to every sin. You took my husband, you think I don’t cry?"
"I was supposed to be in the Dominican Republic on a beautiful vacation with some of my family and instead my vacation time turned into bereavement time," she said.
According to amended charging documents on Knight, Reese told Pierce County detectives that "he was involved in the events at the Sanders residence."
Knight also "confirmed that she was involved in the events at the Sanders residence."
Investigators also say they have linked Knight to a similar home invasion in Lake Stevens.
