The way liberals have been talking I thought voluntary manslaughter meant that he would go free if the jury agreed rather than going to jail.
I didn't know juries could change laws like judges.
I can’t remember the guy’s name, but there was a prosecutor (Phil Klein maybe?) that had been investigating Tiller for illegal late term abortions, and the judge also refused to allow the defense to call him to testify. IIRC, Tiller gave MILLIONS of dollars to the Sebilius campaign coffers to get her reelected as governor. Read more about it in Jack Cashill’s column, http://www.cashill.com/regional/tiller_and.htm

He had a jury trial.
To Scott Roeder, George Tiller was a serial killer who had escaped punishment because he had a more effective attorney than the state had.

I disagree , George Tiller had the entire state aparatus behind him with his blood money splashed around. Tiller corrupted the aparatus that should have stopped him decades ago, by making himself to be above any law he created the situation leading to his death. Tiller committed suicide as surely as someone that waves a gun at a cop.
The jury is the trier of fact. The judge is the trier of the law.
You shoot a man, you take your chances. 12 of his fellow citizens said he was as cold blooded murderer.
bump for later
God Bless you Scott Roeder, you took one for the team. He’s not a murderer, he’s an executioner; killers should be put to death, and Roeder is taking the fall because the government will not do the right thing when it comes to abortion.
I suppose our pro-life (*snort*) RINOs have been suspiciously quiet over this?
The man shot a person in the forehead at church. Although I abhor everything the doctor stood for and practiced it is not my place or yours or Roeder’s place to judge and convict him. ‘Judgement is mine sayeth the Lord’. Where does it stop? Is it OK to kill someone who blasphemes? Is it OK to kill someone who gives less than a tithe? Is it OK to kill someone who lies on a resume? Who are we to rank the severity of sins in God’s eyes?
