Creator of Planned Parenthood videos indicted in Texas
MSN ^ | 1/25/16 | Sarah Ferris

A grand jury that extensively reviewed undercover videos of Planned Parenthood decided not to press charges against the group, and will instead take action against the creators of the videos.

Jurors in Houston announced Monday they are indicting a pair of anti-abortion-rights activists, David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, for their role in creating a series of now-viral videos attacking Planned Parenthood, according to multiple local reports.

Daleiden, who has taken credit for the videos, claimed that his footage showed Planned Parenthood officials haggling over the price of aborted organs as part of the organization's fetal tissue donation program in some states.

Jurors said they did not find evidence of illegal activity on the part of Planned Parenthood.

Instead, Daleiden was indicted for the "purchase and sale of human organs" — a charge that appears to stem from Daleiden's undercover attempts to purchase fetal tissue from Planned Parenthood as he sought to record the encounter for his sting videos.

This political persecution is probably a good thing. Publicity is good.

This seems pretty bad. This is political retribution. Who decided on that Grand Jury?

This is going to back fire on the prosecutor. it is obvious that this was a undercover investigation and the criminal was the person they were talking to about the purchase of dead fetuses. at no time was a deal struck and payment arranged. all they did was make the claim to a planed parenthood reprehensive that they were looking to buy baby body parts.

If people are allowed to make a citizens arrest, why doesn’t the creator just say he was investigating based on suspicions of planned parenthood and selling fetal parts. After the cops do the same type of investigations to bust drug dealers and those who are soliciting prostitution. How is this any different? Any legal folks out there?????

...Tom Wolfe in The Bonfire of the Vanities wrote that "a grand jury would 'indict a ham sandwich,' if that's what you wanted.

>>God is not mocked. Judgement is coming to America.<<

This is why I refuse to get worked up over Trump. If he is elected president and he is really a democrat in disguise . . . it is God’s judgment over this wicked country that has allowed it.

Just as if one of the Dims running wins the election.

We deserve what we get . . . honestly.

attempts to purchase fetal tissue

So they are arresting the user instead of the pusher.

Unfortunately, Houston is now controlled by far left wing Democrats.

A politically motivated district attorney can get a grand jury to indict anyone for anything. Just as Tom Delay and Rick Perry.

Do not challenge the progressive sacrament of abortion. And especially do not try to interfere with the flow of a half-a-billion dollars a year in taxpayer money.

If you do, you will be indicted and jailed. Incredibly, you will be indicted and jailed for what the abortionists were doing.

Up is down. Black is white. Day is night. Bizarro World. Dear Lord, we are but sheep, but sheep who follow your call. We ask you to save us from the wolf, or loose us upon the wolf, that it might prey upon us no longer.

If Daleidencan be charged with "purchase and sale of human organs" then the people at PP who sold him the tissue/parts (which never happened) can be charged as well.

In other words, sure...arrest the John for solicitiation. But the hooker's going down too. (pun not intended).
