Roeder has the same murderous arrogance that Tiller himself possessed
http://www.lifenews.com/nb257.html
Wichita, KS (LifeNews.com) -- The convicted killer of Kansas abortion
practitioner George Tiller tells a Des Moines activist that he has no
regrets and has little sympathy for the family of his victim. In a 10-minute
interview with Des Moines activist Dave Leach, who supports abortion-related
violence, Scott Roeder says reports that he asked for God's forgiveness
shortly after shooting Tiller last year are incorrect. "Obviously I didn't
do anything wrong," he said. "So I would not have to ask forgiveness."
Roeder was convicted Jan. 29 of shooting Tiller to death last May. He faces
life in prison when sentenced on March 9. In discussing his trial, Roeder
was highly critical of those who sought to keep the issue of abortion out of
the proceedings altogether, saying it was like asserting that the trial for
abolitionist John Brown was not about slavery. Meanwhile, there may be
another round of court hearings in the Scott Roeder murder case. His
attorneys are now asking for a new trial or an order of acquittal. In a
motion, defense lawyers cite adverse rulings by the trial judge, including
his refusal to let the jury consider a lesser charge of involuntary
manslaughter.
