WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Jurors have acquitted one of the nation's few late-term abortion providers of violating Kansas law requiring an independent second opinion for the procedure.
But moments after the verdict was announced Friday, the state's medical board made public a complaint against Dr. George Tiller on similar allegations.
Tiller was found not guilty of 19 misdemeanor charges stemming from abortions he performed at his Wichita clinic in 2003. Prosecutors had alleged that a doctor he used for second opinions was essentially an employee of his and not independent as state law requires.
If convicted, Tiller had faced a year in jail for each charge.
The medical board considering the complaint against Tiller could revoke, suspend or limit his medical license, or fine him............."
What was this Kansas jury thinking more like it.
I wish I was as confident as you are. I don’t trust Lynch and I sure don’t trust the State Senate.
Lynch isn’t running for Gregg’s seat that I know of. That would be Hodes. I hope he gets the snot kicked out of him by Sununu, Merrill or whoever the Rep. is.

Good grief!!! Jury selection has become not just an art, but a science apparently. I wonder if there’s any chance for an appeal?
Sorry, but the government can't appeal an acquittal. It doesn't work that way.
Doubtful. Double jeopardy and all that. My guess is they have to change the law. But Tiller is going to walk. More than his victims can do.
Not unless you want to repeal the 5th Amendment.
No, but it's not like he's going to stop breaking the law, so he can be charged again for THOSE violations. Jury nullification's a very two-edged sword.
From my understanding, only believers are judged before the throne of Jesus.
Everyone else is judged according to The Law,
and there’s no one that can pass muster on that.

The prosecution purposely failed to make a case. See the above link.
I'm not one that would usually advocate such a thing but maybe the State should have tried each case separately until they got a jury with the smarts to get a conviction. Works for the libtards and the aclu.
Amen and AMEN brother!!!
The boxes of liberty are narrowing down.
This is just evidence that the “jury box” has been removed as a viable option.
We still have the soap box, but it doesn’t seem to be very effective these days, the bastards aren’t listening.
Cartidge box. Last box of liberty.
“When in the course of human events...”
Gosh. Maybe he should be prosecuted for mass murder, instead of mere violation of procedural rules.
I was going to post something similar.
This man will NOT escape judgement. And he will receive the appropriate punishment.
The same ones who elected Sebelius by 8% in 2002, then re-elected her by 18% in 2006?
Someone might “go Bowman” on him, too, not that I’m advocating that.
Of course, if this occurred, the left would have a hayday.
They’d be happier he was dead (for the political benefit) than any pro-lifer would be.
