Battle over abortion in Kansas continues - this is just outrageous

Tiller’s lawyers say copies of abortion records were mailed to Kline

Three days after Phill Kline testified in court about the handling of abortion files, copies of those records were mailed to Virginia, where he had taken a new job.

Lawyers for Wichita abortion provider George Tiller said in court papers filed late Thursday that the mailed package of documents is further evidence that Kline, the former attorney general of Kansas, had no regard for patients’ privacy and is further proof of alleged misconduct in his investigation.

Kline, who now works at the Liberty University Law School in Lynchburg, Va., did not immediately respond to attempts to contact him.

Tiller’s lawyers have argued that Kline’s conduct as attorney general when he investigated the doctor was so outrageous that the resulting charges should be dropped.

“The recent event suggests that Kline’s misconduct continues,” Monnat said.

Laura Shaneyfelt, a member of Tiller’s defense team, filed an affidavit saying that the documents Kline brought with him to Sedgwick County were mailed from the Johnson County district attorney’s office to Liberty University on Jan. 9 — Kline’s last day as the county’s prosecutor.

The package was returned to the Johnson County office on Feb. 13 because it was not addressed properly.

1. What? He had documents from a state case mailed to him at Liberty University?

Drop all charges and against the doctor and investigate Kline. His right to see the documents was already tenuous as Kansas AG, but as a private citizen working at a law school that represents the religious right? Appalling.

3. And these are the same records he supposedly shared with Bill O'Reilly

2. The good news here is that Kline is

no longer in Kansas.

But mailing those records to him is totally outrageous. I wonder who did the mailing? Maybe it was deliberately mis-addressed.

4. LOL I wondered that too

He was not very popular as our DA.
