CV NEWS FEED // Baltimore prosecutors will retry Patrick Brice on a felony first-degree assault charge for violently attacking an elderly pro-life advocate outside a Planned Parenthood facility in 2023.

A jury convicted Brice Feb. 6 of two counts each of second-degree assault and reckless endangerment for the attack on then 84-year-old Dick Schafer and 73-year-old Mark Crosby, CatholicVote reported. The jury acquitted him of the first-degree charge in Schafer’s case and failed to reach a verdict on the charge related to Crosby.

Brice’s sentencing on the unresolved felony charge involving Crosby — initially scheduled for March 20 — was postponed to Aug. 7 as prosecutors prepare to retry the case, ABC Baltimore reported. A pre-trial conference is scheduled for March 28, according to court records.

As CatholicVote previously reported, Brice assaulted the two men while they were praying outside a North Baltimore abortion facility. One he shoved to the ground and kicked in the face. The other he tackled over a flower pot.

The attack left Crosby with a fractured orbital frontal plate and Schafer with scrapes and an injured shoulder.

Both Crosby and Schafer returned to the same location within a week of the attack, continuing their peaceful prayer and outreach efforts.

The Great White Throne Judgment is for Unbelievers. They did not choose to be written into His Book of Life.
