The jury in the murder trial of abortion practitioner Kermit
Gosnell returned a verdict and found him guilty on three of the four
first-degree murder charges he faced.
Gosnell was found guilty of killing Baby A, Baby C and Baby
D and found not guilty of killing Baby E. He was also convicted on hundreds of
lesser charges ranging from infanticide to running a corrupt organization.
The guilty verdict on these three counts subjects the
abortion “doctor” to the potential he will face the death penalty when a second
jury considers his sentencing on the convictions. At minimum Gosnell will face
three life terms in prison. The jury that will be tasked with sentencing
Gosnell on the convictions will begin its work on May 21.
Gonell was also found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in
the death of patient Karnamaya Mongar, who died after a botched abortion. And
he was found guilty on most of the more than 200 counts of violating
Pennsylvania’s informed consent law.
In total, Gosnell was found guilty of 21 out of 24 felony
counts of illegal abortions beyond the 24 week limit and found guilty on all
but 16 of 227 misdemeanor counts of violating the 24-hour informed consent law.
One local reporter covering the trial indicated
Gosnell “heard verdict passively, with small bitter faced smiles.” A Fox news
reporter added, “Our Fox producer in the courtroom says Gosnell looked mad when
the verdicts were read.”
Multiple reports indicate an assistant prosecutor sobbed as
the verdict was read. Continue
