Some Tiller charges invalid, Morrison’s office says

TOPEKA | A criminal case previously filed against the state’s best-known abortion provider was based partly on incorrect or incomplete information, a spokeswoman for the attorney general’s office said today. Ashley Anstaett, spokeswoman for Attorney General Paul Morrison, said 15 of 30 charges that the previous attorney general filed against physician George Tiller were flawed. Then-Attorney General Phill Kline, an anti-abortion Republican, filed 30 misdemeanor charges against Tiller in December, but a judge dismissed the case for jurisdictional reasons. Kline had alleged that Tiller, one of the few U.S. doctors performing late-term abortions, performed 15 illegal late-term abortions and failed to report the details to state officials. Anstaett’s comments dealt only with the 15 charges involving reporting violations. In 11 cases, she said, Kline did not include information that he had that was favorable to Tiller. In four other cases, Anstaett said, Kline cited the wrong patient records to back up his charges. Kline lost the November general election to Morrison, an abortion-rights Democrat. When Morrison took office Jan. 8, he launched his own investigation. Abortion opponents have tried to pressure Morrison into refiling Kline’s criminal case. Morrison plans to announce later this week whether he will charge Tiller with any crimes. Anstaett said an assistant attorney general reviewed 10,000 pages of documents, subpoenaed additional records Kline had not sought and interviewed new witnesses. “The call to refile Kline’s original 30 charges is misinformed and irresponsible,” Anstaett said. “The case was not organized, summarized and ready to go, as Kline claims.”

Had to chuckle. Also, the lady he hired in April to head the domestic violence division quit last week.

Gawd, he is so bad. We had a JoCo Dem Women's meeting last night and the word is he just may run for DA in 08. Good luck Phill!!!

I bought a t-shirt in Chicago that says ARREST CHENEY FIRST. Wore it last night and it was a hit. Everyone hates Cheney these days.
