Man Who Brutally Assaulted Two Elderly Pro-Life Advocates is Convicted
LifeNews ^ | 2/7/25 | Olivia Summers

In a significant legal development, a jury has found 27-year-old Patrick Brice guilty on four charges related to his violent assault on two elderly pro-life advocates (including our client) outside a Baltimore Planned Parenthood clinic. The prosecution of this case and ensuing conviction are incredibly encouraging as the legal system of late has been targeting those with pro-life views instead of protecting them.

Brice was convicted of two counts of second-degree assault and two counts of reckless endangerment for his unprovoked attack on Dick Schaefer and Mark Crosby. Both men were peacefully advocating for life outside the clinic when the incident occurred.

As we informed you, the assault took place on May 26, 2023. Our client, Mr. Schaefer, then 84, was standing on the sidewalk near the clinic, engaging with passersby, while Mr. Crosby, then 73, held a sign nearby. Brice approached Mr. Schaefer and initiated a conversation that quickly turned confrontational. Without warning, Brice violently slammed Mr. Schaefer into a concrete planter, rendering him unconscious. Brice then turned his aggression toward Mr. Crosby, who had run to Mr. Schaefer’s aid, striking him in the face, knocking him to the ground, and forcefully kicking him in the head.

It's good to hear that a jury convicted this guy. The pro-death cult has gotten away with assaults on peaceful pro-life protesters for too long.

Many groups have been encouraged to slam conservatives, regardless of age, for so long, this guy didn’t even stop when he saw what he had done. He needs to be beaten to a pulp to remember the event. I will be interested in his sentencing.

Step one: conviction, good

Step two: sentencing. This putz should get commensurate jail time and not some kind of probation.
