Judge Warren Wilbert ruled yesterday that the jury cannot consider voluntary manslaughter in the first-degree murder trial of Scott Roeder, who testified that he killed Wichita abortion provider George Tiller.
The Wichita Eagle reports that Wilbert also ruled that the jury cannot consider a lesser charge of second-degree murder.
Jurors will begin deliberating this morning.
