Relax, with good behavior, Scott Roeder, 51, of Kansas City will out on streets again just before his 150th birthday.
While I wouldn't do what he did, he has a very good argument for voluntary manslaughter. If his defense can establish that Tiller was committing crimes by participating in partial birth abortions, his case becomes even stronger. It makes no difference that Tiller was acquitted when he was prosecuted for a misdemeaner; especially since he performed what were likely other illegal abortions after he was found innocent.
