Whew! Justice Served.



"WICHITA, Kan. — A man who says he killed prominent Kansas abortion provider Dr. George Tiller to protect unborn children has been convicted of murdering the doctor.

A jury deliberated for 37 minutes Friday before finding Scott Roeder guilty of premeditated, first-degree murder. The 51-year-old Kansas City, Mo., man faces a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment with the possibility of parole after 25 years.

Roeder testified that he shot Tiller in the head May 31 in the foyer of Tiller's church in Wichita because he believed Tiller posed an "immediate danger" to unborn children..."

Good. Let this be a lesson to wannabes who have similar crazy ideas.
Abortion is legal in the United States, and murder is not.
If you don't like abortion, don't have one.

zactly! i'm really glad the jury only took 37 minutes. i hope they say that it would have taken them less time, but some of the jury members had to pee.

And now his face is going to be stuck like that for eternity.

Nah, he's just practicing clamping his jaws shut for those inmates who'll be demanding 'oral pleasure' from him.

Hey wait a minute. Isn't he making the "I'm so sorry you caught me cheating on my beloved wife" face?

BWAHAHAHAHA good one, sis.

Justice was served. His whole hue and cry about who he was saving was bullshit. And Karen you know how I feel about this topic in general.

Fran said...

I'd like no possibility of parole even better.
At age 76, he may feel emboldened to murder again.
