The prosecution wouldn't want me on this jury.

It sounds like the guy has his head on straight enough to tell the truth.

The jury sits in judgment of the law, which makes being a juror the single most important civil/political function the ordinary citizen ever performs.
Nope, the prosecution wouldn’t let me on this jury either.

Lock the POS up for life, he committed murder and he hurt the pro-life movement.

desperate times, desperate measures.
in the big picture, the government that allows the untenable practice of abortion is culpable in the slaying of the doctor.

Frankly, one shot to the head sounds a lot more humane than partial-birth abortion. But hey, that’s just me.
To: Ben Mugged
I’d be happy to sit and happy to convict. We are a nation of laws and NOT a nation of theocrats. Right now, abortion is legal in this country. If you don’t like the law, then work within the law to change the law. But, your moral beliefs aren’t license to murder someone with whom you disagree. If we go down that road - and endorse it, as you seem to be doing - then we might as well start dressing in bedsheets with diapers on our heads, because we will have become just like the Jihadists so many hate.
To: ConservativeMind
I don’t believe that it was right to kill the abortionist, but the abortionist certainly got what was coming to him.

Lock the POS up for life, he committed murder and he hurt the pro-life movement.He isn't any more or less guilty than those responsible for a million baby murders per year. Where's your call to lock them up?
To: trumandogz
Lock the POS up for life, he committed murder and he hurt the pro-life movement. Yeah.
Wonder how many abortions were interrupted/cancelled as a result of this.
Guess you could say he accomplished his mission.

"The jury sits in judgment of the law," Absolutely incorrect. The jury sits in judgment of the accused - more precisely, in judgment of the state's case against the accused - and are instructed, without equivocation, to follow the law, not to evaluate its merit.
If you're arguing for jury nullification, you're no different than the idiotic racists who acquitted OJ Simpson.
To: trumandogz
Lock the POS up for life, he committed murder and he hurt the pro-life movement. Just for arguments sake, assume the jury found him innocent because he was in fact defending the lives of the unborn. How may doctors could you find that would be willing to perform late term abortions if the doctors could be terminated with extreme prejudice?

Not postulating that this condones the murder, but, on the other hand, it sort of vaporizes your argument.

To: Ben Mugged
Sorry. Men with conviction are not afraid to go to prison forever, or even die, for what they believe in.
If you really think what you did was right despite the law, you would stop trying to weasel-out and would go to prison like a man.

assume the jury found him innocent because he was in fact defending the lives of the unborn.You know, that is a perfectly reasonable conclusion.
