Kansas v. Roeder (Tiller Killer) trial starts today ~~ Tru TV
Trial starts today ~~ Tru TV (formerly CourtTV)~~ is carrying pre-trial commentary this AM. Interesting debates going on with Tru TV legal commentators and the anti-choice, forced birther pals of the POS who shot Tiller. They seem to justify killing a live human being on the theory of defending the life of a fetus.

As to Roeder, there was commentary that he had never paid child support to his wife for the one child he did have. So typical of the forced birthers ~~ only unborn children count for anything.

2. What I found interesting is an OP on our Greatest Page re: Tiller's prosecution.

3. Opening statements about to begin...
...I am looking for a live feed for anyone who does not have Tru TV.

CNN use to carry the live Tru TV court trial, but I am not seeing anything there at the moment. Will keep looking.

4. Judge is on the bench...
Edited on Fri Jan-22-10 10:19 AM by Hepburn
...opening statements are on.

Edit: What is taking place is a debate on the justification defense ~~ female DA raising the issue.

Judge is saying that this issue waits until such time as the defense starts its case, if any.

5. Abortion Provider killed in church...
says the text on screen.

While true, they might just say Dr. Tilller shot dead while attending church.

6. Yep....
...medical doctor executed while attending church ~~ that one works for me, too.

Abortion is always pushed as a bad thing ~~ even when an MD is saving the life of a mother.

Sheesh...

7. Female DA now giving Opening....
....just setting out the facts and events which lead up to the murder. Basically ~~ what Dr. T and his family did and how they got ready for church. Calling victim and his wife by first names and making them very personal to the jury.
