Not necessarily true. If they can establish that he had appointments scheduled to perform late term abortions during that week and that Tiller had in the past performed late term abortions , easy enough, than they MAY be able to establish immanent danger of death of a third party.

Like I said, I doubt they will be able to get an acquittal, but I am more than certain that at least one, and probably several of the jurors would like to acquit. Jury nullification is certainly not out of the question. A hung jury is absolutely a good chance.

Interesting arguments on all sides, that’s for sure. I doubt they’ll get an acquittal either, and unless they can prove an insanity defense (highly unlikely I think since it was clearly premeditated), he’ll be convicted.

Any juror who cannot put aside their prejudices and follow the law in any court proceeding should excuse themselves.
