The attorneys for convicted killer Scott Roeder are asking for a new trial or an acquittal of their client, who killed Wichita abortion provider George Tiller, according to a report on The Kansas City Star's web site.
The attorneys reportedly sought all of this in a motion Monday because Judge Warren Wilbert would allow the jury to consider voluntary manslaughter. This will be argued in court in March.
Roeder testified that he shot Tiller from point-blank range during a church service last May in order to save the lives of unborn babies. Roeder admitted that he'd first considered killing Tiller in the early '90s.
A jury convicted Roeder of first-degree murder in less than 40 minutes.

Poor Scott. He thought he would be viewed as a hero for his cold blooded murder...go figure. His 15 minutes of fame is over and he's facing life in prison. Now, if those who contributed to his defense fund could serve a little time then justice will have been served all around.
