MATTERS OF LIFE AND DEATH
Justice will have to wait for 'Tiller the killer'
Infamous late-term abortionist's trial postponed … again

George Tiller was originally scheduled to stand trial on 19 charges of violating Kansas' abortion laws on August 17, 2007. That trial has now been rescheduled – for the 4th time.

The case against Tiller has been dragging on since he was first investigated by former Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline in 2006, incorporating into its drama rumors of cronyism, corrupted prosecutors and upended political careers.

According to Kansas law, late-term abortions performed after the point of viability may only be performed if the abortion is needed to save the woman's life or the pregnancy would cause "substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function." In addition, a second, unaffiliated physician must also sign off on the procedure.

Kline originally brought 30 criminal counts against Tiller, whose clinic performed 380 late-term abortions in 2006 alone, citing medical records that listed the required "substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function" as "major depressive disorder, single episode" or "acute stress disorder."

(Story continues below)

 

Kline was then defeated in general election, replaced as attorney general by Paul Morrison, who dropped the charges against Tiller and fired an independent prosecutor Kline appointed to handle the case.

The moves were met with outcry by anti-abortion activists, who questioned Morrison's credibility and political ties.

Shortly thereafter, however, Morrison filed 19 counts against Tiller, this time for violating the part of the statute that required an unaffiliated physician to review the case. Tiller used Ann Kristin Neuhaus to sign off on his abortions, and Morrison charged that the two abortionists "were not financially and legally independent as required by Kansas law."

On August 3, 2007, Tiller pleaded "not guilty" to the charges, and a bench trial was scheduled for August 17 of that year.

Tiller has yet, however, to stand that trial.

In November of 2007, Tiller's attorney's filed two motions with Judge Clark Owens, the first to have Kansas' law declared unconstitutional, and the second to have the jury increased from 6 to 12 members.

8 months later, Owens has yet to rule on those motions, and last week, the judge agreed to another delay of the trial.

"We have seen capital murder cased in Kansas, from arrest to sentencing, take place in less time," said Troy Newman, president of an anti-abortion group he calls Operation Rescue. "Justice delayed is justice denied. Judge Owens and the attorney general's office need to get of the dime and get on with the case in the interests of justice."

Tiller is now scheduled to stand trial on July 28, provided there are no further delays.
