Roeder can't get lesser manslaughter charge

I think that life in prison is too good for scott roeder, he should get the same as he gave, a bullet to his head while he is looking at the gun. if nobody is willing to do it , I would

"Thou shalt not kill... yea, just thou. Me, I'm fine with killin' because god told me to."

I think there will be an appeal. he killed tiller to save babies. In my opinion manslaughter should have been an option.

Good decision. Roeder will be found guilty without a doubt. And he deserves to get a life in prison. No one has the right to kill another human being.

Does Roeder have any family in the courtroom? Any family support?

I am in agreement with Mr. Roeder as to no one has the right to abort a child in the womb. It has been documented that a viable baby is in the womb. However; I DO NOT feel that this defendant had the right to take the life of another human. Even while he was on the witness stand he said that he does not believe one has the right to take another...... Therefore; that means he contradicted his words with the murder that he committed. I feel this man should either be locked up for life or sentenced to death. Thank you!

Why wasn't the jury sequestered? Seems like it would be almost impossible for the jurors to avoid any outside influences (i.e. protesters, media etc)? Are there many protesters outside? Any disturbances in or near the courthouse?

I worry about there being a stealth juror causing a hung jury. If this occurs, can/will they investigate the jurors for this possibility?

This trial was just a waste of time and money!!! He is guilty of murder, but he also did kill a murderer! So all is well, just my opinion of course.

This should be a no-brainer. Scott defended babies who could not defend themselves. It should be justifible homicide. God says an eye for an eye and Tiller killed and therefore it was justified to kill him to stop his senseless murdering of babies that could survive on their own. He is not guilty based on the defense of children. Late term abortions need to be made illegal unless mothers life is in danger.

This is a very sad case, this man had no right to play GOD !!! He has destroyed two families, as well as the church community.

plain and simple roeder planned and executed a man because he didn't believe as he believed. this is first degree murder no matter what anyone says. this is the law. he had no regrets or sorrow because of it. i hope someone kills him in prison. oh no! maybe i should die too! thankfully the jury saw through this ruse. you do not have a right to kill me because i don't think the way you think.

At the end of a trial where it was proved that, contrary to what his attorney said, Roeder threatened the lives of two men who had no connection to abortion & whose only connection to Dr Tiller was being in the same congregation, InSession reported that jurors didn't just arrive at the courthouse each day, but had to meet at some other place and be transported, and that the Tiller family didn't just enter & leave the courthouse with the general public. Interesting how a movement that calls itself "pro life" has spawned behavior that causes rational people to fear for the safety of so many people.

I don't know why the family would look either incredulous or offended.

"..There is no imminence of danger on a Sunday morning in the back of a church,.."

What if Dr. Tiller was murdered at his office? This was actually the murderer's 1st resort. He couldn't complete the task because he described the doctor's office as a 'fortress'. Would murder, at the point when Dr. Tiller was about to carry out an abortion, constitute 'imminent danger' then?

"..let alone any unlawful conduct, given that what Tiller did at his clinic Monday through Friday is lawful in Kansas," the judge said.'"

So, what happens if abortion becomes illegal in Kansas? Or, what if the murder was carried out in a state in which abortion WAS illegal. Parole after 5 years??

This has now become an abortion issue and not a homicidal one. We have not heard the end of this.

Why not have the conservatives change the law, since the supreme court is tilted in their corner, or, shall I say purchased, in their corner. Then we'd still have the same amount of abortions, and the mothers would die more frequently because it would happen at home.

Roeder should get the HARD 50 He killed a man because he did abortions. Roeder killed a man in Church, I do not see the difference. He took the law into his own hands. God will surely have plans for him. If he says abortion is murder, what does he call what he did.

Thay should let Scott free why he did something that the Doctor ask for.The Doctor took lives of the unborn.Thay say don't give death to the killers but thay give death to the unborn so let him go FREE
