We may get a verdict in the trial of George "the killer" Tiller as soon as today. We will have it here on A Catholic View as soon as it is announced.Attorneys for late-term abortion practitioner George Tiller finished questioning witnesses on Thursday as both sides prepare to present their closing arguments tomorrow. The case involves 19 charges against Tiller for allegedly violating the state's laws regulating law-term abortions.
At issue is whether Tiller wrongly used an abortion practitioner who worked part-time for him to validate the abortions when the state law calls for an independent physician to determine if they are medically necessary.
Tiller attorneys rested their case following an hour of testimony this morning and they again requested an acquittal for their client claiming prosecutors lack evidence showing Tiller violating the laws.
Prosecutors have said Tiller's attorneys trained Kristin Neuhaus and that she profited financially from her work with Tiller signing off on his abortions. They say Tiller and Neuhaus worked together exclusively for years, violating the independent nature of the physician the state requires.
