WICHITA, Kan. - Jurors reached a verdict in the trial of a man accused of killing a Kansas abortion provider.
It took the jury 37 minutes Friday to reach the verdict in confessed killer Scott Roeder's trial. It was to be read late Friday morning.
Roeder has said he shot Dr. George Tiller on May 31 to protect unborn children.

37 minutes thats pretty slam dunk. Now this guy will have plenty of time to think about his actions.Verdict reached in abortion slaying trial - Crime & courts- msnbc.com

oh, there are some here who vehemently disagree.I doubt anyone here would disagree with that verdict. Even those who think abortion is murder wouldn't support allowing vigilantes to take the law into their own hands.
25 years. justifiable my ass.37 minutes thats pretty slam dunk. Now this guy will have plenty of time to think about his actions.

Prosecutor Nola Foulston is trying to get it as a "hard 50", meaning no parole, he serves 50 years.
This was clear cut, and he absolutely deserved the conviction, and the time he will serve.
What a scumbag. This guy took the life of, in every aspect of the law, an innocent person and in the proccess gave up his own as well, all in the name of religious ideology. How is this guy any different from terrorist who beieve that their actions are righteous and in the name of God?

This is good news. I personally think that he should be confined to a mental facility because everything about him practically oozes irrational and mental defect and I think the death penalty is not appropriate in that case.
But I am glad he was found guilty and will be removed from any chance to harm anyone else.
To the best of my knowledge, the death penalty is not going to happen here. He is going to get a mandatory 50 years, with either a possibility of parole in 25 years, or no possibility, depending on how they do it. Either way, he dies in prison most likely.
That's good then. I do hope he is given access to some kind of therapy and counseling along with it, though it may be a waste of resources if he is to die behind prison walls.
I wished that he would have gotten off with a slap on the wrist seeing how the man put a stop to a baby serial killing monster. Maybe he will get a lawyer one to try to overturn his conviction.Verdict reached in abortion slaying trial - Crime & courts- msnbc.com

Groucho, meet James. Proof positive no matter how obvious it is that something is a crime, some one will find a way to excuse it.
Guess you're right. It's not really murder if you're doing it for your God, I suppose. (Where have I heard that before?)
Probably from somewhere in the middle east would be my guess.
He can claim all he wants about his intentions, but the road to hell is paved with those. He is a murderer, and now he will pay the price for his crime. Let his punishment be a lesson to other would be murderers.
That's a wonderful sentiment until you realize that Scott knowingly accepted this conviction and decided that killing Dr. Tiller was worth the punishment.
You know when you're willing to take the points to cuss someone out on this board? Same thing.
Same thing, except one penalty is three amorphous points on an internet chat board, while the other is 50 years in pound me in the ass prison. Oh, and in one, you call another pseydonymous guy a "douche" and in the other, you shoot a guy in the ****ing face.
