A con artist who pretended to be in a coma every time he wanted to get out of court apparently managed to keep the charade going for more than two years. Gawker reports thatthe Police in South Wales say 47-year-old Alan Knight—who had also been illegally living off benefits by pretending to be a quadriplegic—had spent about three years conning his neighbor out of $65,000 when he came up on their radar. Knight’s deceit was uncovered when police tracked the use of his supermarket card, and produced surveillance camera footage of him walking and driving.
