Sympathetic Judge
Nancy Mills was the judge to preside over the case. It seems like she sympathized with the so-called “last true hermit”. She knew he was unlikely to harm anyone or commit more crimes in the future. This is the reason he got a fairly light sentence. Many people agreed with her judgment. They believed a hefty fine and several months in jail would be enough. However, was Knight ready to join civilization once more?

Return To Civilization
After spending time in jail, Knight met with the judge every Monday and swore off alcohol. He showed commitment to the orders he had been given. Everyone was impressed by the progress he showed. This was a man who avoided human contact for such a long time, and he was now making huge progress. His life was now back on track! He reconnected with his family members as well and the relationship improved during his time in jail. His brother offered him a job, and he agreed to take it on.
