Highland Heights, KY -- A university professor who was forced to resign after leading a group of pro-abortion students in vandalizing a pro-life display has attacked pro-life advocates in a private email to the students involved. The email also encourages the students to "make it hard" for police investigating the vandalism to find them. News of the email is surfacing just hours after Northern Kentucky University professor Dr. Sally Jacobson issued an apology for her actions.
Jacobson apologized Tuesday evening in an interview with a local television station, but told the NKU student newspaper she will no longer grant interviews on the advice of her attorney.
Meanwhile, Jacobson emailed the pro-abortion students involved in the vandalism and urged them to obtain attorneys and to resist being charged by police in the matter. She worries and charges will aid the pro-life movement.
"If you are named, my advice is to get your attorney to plead you down to a misdemeanor," she wrote, according to The Northerner student paper. "The well-funded Right to Life groups that are pushing for this need felony convictions, I believe, in order to file civil suits for damages."
Jacobson also told the students about the current investigation the NKU police department id conducting, even encouraging the pro-abortion students to make it difficult for police to locate them.
"In the meantime, the campus police continue their investigation," she said. "If you have not yet been interrogated, you do not have to talk to them without an attorney. You can make it hard to find you. Again, I am so sorry."
Jacobson and the students involved could face as much as a Class D felony for their actions. Charges have not yet been filed against those involved in the destruction of the pro-life display but NKU Officer Rob Yelton told the student paper they are forthcoming.
"The [pro-life] group has indicated that they are willing to press charges," he said.
However, The Northerner reported that the bulk of the charges will be directed at Jacobson.
"At this time, we don't anticipate the students being charged," Lt. Col. Jeffrey Martin said. "They were intimidated by an authority figure into believing that this was not a criminal act."
Commonwealth Attorney Jack Porter, the local prosecutor, will make the final decision on the charges, and the officers indicated they thought he would grant the students immunity but charge Jacobson for her part in the vandalism.
Jacobson clearly hopes this is the case, according to the paper, as she wrote the students that she wants to help them avoid prosecution.
"I want to do everything I can to keep any of you from being specifically named," she said. "And I am very sorry I got you involved in this."
Jacobson, whose classes have been given to other professors to complete for the semester, also warned the pro-abortion students to stay away from her office on campus.
I thought her E-mail was self-serving too. Even if the students are 100% pro-abortion, I hope they have the sense at this point to avoid this witch and her advice like the plague.
Now she's giving legal advice too. Is that legal?
Could, what she and her students did, be considered a 'hate'' crime?
It sounds to me like classic stonewalling.
"I want you all to stonewall it."
That's why Nixon took early retirement.
Did someone say "RICO"?
This from the crowd that protests all the time with street theater? Puppets, dressing as skeletons, dressing like our dear guests at Club Gitmo, effigies of GWB and Dick Cheney, etc.
The pot is calling the kettle black, but when aren't the lefties flaming hypocrites? Furthermore, anyone who would mock murdered babies is beneath contempt. How do they know these kinds of pro-life demonstrations have no effect? Who knows what women may think twice when confronted with the reality of their actions, rather than the euphemisms and misinformation ("just a blob of cells") people have been brainwashed with all these years?
...Ha Ha! You lost your job .......
Not to worry. The lefty underground will keep her employed off the books as a guest lecturer or seminar facilitator. Any retired tenured professor can get employment in all sorts of esoteric but interesting university situations. It is certainly possible that she can receive temporary assignmnets teaching classes on mitigating civil disobedience offenses.
She went to London ya know.....
She was retiring at the end of the semester anyway, so it's nothing more than an early vacation. She also will be receiving full retirement benefits. I think the university president did say that he didn't see any reason "yet" to make a move on her retirement benefits. If she keeps it up, he may find one, though I'm not holding my breath.....
"If you are named, my advice is to get your attorney to plead you down to a misdemeanor," she wrote, according to The Northerner student paper. "The well-funded Right to Life groups that are pushing for this need felony convictions, I believe, in order to file civil suits for damages."
What hyprocrisy!!!
Is that what NOW gang and Planned Parenthood did for Pro-Life hero, Joe Scheidler, and those who pray outside abortion clinics?
She was previously due to retire after the spring term in any case. She is now on leave until then.
"She has a vested interest in them not being given immunity and in them not cooperating, as she has abundantly demonstrated."
Hmmmm...as she was in a position of authority, can anyone say suborning to criminal acts? Dispensing legal advice without a license? Subversion? RICO? Nice laundry list to THROW THE BOOK at her...and if the judges won't do it, we THROW THEM OUT.
Here is google's cache of her home page, which has since been blanked out. http://72.14.203.104/u/NKU?q=cache:Yd7CVaUZyngJ:www.nku.edu/~jacobsen/+Sally+Jacobson+&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=1&ie=UTF-8
It includes her e-mail address, phone number, course listing, etc...
In the university president's defense, trying to attack her retirement benefits at this point is an exercise in futility, and would cost NKU lots of money in legal fees win or lose. If the DA gets a felony conviction against her, the situation changes.
"If you are named, my advice is to get your attorney to plead you down to a misdemeanor,"
Giving legal advice, huh. She'd better worry about her own miserable butt, which needs a thrashing.
Pro choice advocates have already been born! Newborn babies or a fetus can't fight back.
I agree completely. Vortuba was actually saying all of the right things, and saying them forcefully. However, I don't see anything coming from this other than an early retirement. The conviction isn't terribly likely, plus I'm not convinced for a variety of reasons that the university would take this on even with a conviction. But one can always hope...
