Scott Roeder, the man accused of assassinating Wichita abortion provider George Tiller, is considering a defense of “justifiable homicide” and talking to to a prominent attorney who previously represented Paul Hill, who shot and killed a Florida abortion provider. Good luck with that. 

The Kansas City Star‘s Judy L. Thomas has a good story on the FBI’s continued investigation into Roeder’s associates. Roeder has apparently long believed that killing an abortion doctor is “justifiable.” Not all of his friends agree. Michael Clayman, an attorney who also hosted Bible study groups that included Roeder, told him: “How can you repay evil with evil?”
