A discussion about ?the a-word? in Roeder trial

By Ron Sylvester

Count how many times lawyers and the judge use the word “abortion” in trying not to talk about what public defender Mark Rudy called ‘the a-word” in the first day of Scott Roeder’s trial. For the record, witness Paul Ryding, who attended church with George Tiller, said he’d seen Roeder at the church before. Ryding said Roeder seemed to have an agenda and “it wasn’t one of worship.” Even when the court reporter read the testimony back, it sounded a little like “abortion.” (Video via CNN’s InSession Sidebar)
