Suspect Charged in Abortion Doctor Killing

HeadlineJun 03, 2009

In Kansas, an anti-abortion activist has been charged with the murder of the abortion provider Dr. George Tiller. Tiller was shot Sunday as he attended services at his Wichita church. District Attorney Nola Foulston said the suspect, Scott Roeder, won’t face the death penalty.

Nola Foulston: “This is not a death penalty case. The State of Kansas requires a number of predicate factors and special circumstances, and under the facts and circumstances that are known at this time the election has been to go with a first-degree murder.”
