The trial of George "the killer" Tiller began with deception.The opening day of the long-awaited trial against Kansas' notorious late-term abortionist George Tiller yesterday saw witness Dr. Ann Kristin Neuhaus give what have been described by witnesses as "conflicting" statements. Tiller's defense team also submitted multiple failed motions to dismiss, according to initial trial reports.
Tiller, who has tapped Neuhaus for the required second opinion for his late-term abortions since 1999, stands accused of maintaining an illegally close legal and financial relationship with Neuhaus. The alleged relationship contravenes late-term abortion law that requires an independent doctor to offer a second opinion, verifying that the procedure is necessary to save the life of, or avoid major injury to the mother.
Neuhaus, granted immunity as the prosecution's sole witness, claimed Monday that she did not work full time for Tiller but only came to Wichita to offer the consults at Tiller's clinic once a week for half a day.
When asked why she told an assistant with the Kansas Attorney General's office in 2006 that she worked for Tiller full-time, Neuhaus said she misspoke.
