(AP) 3 murder charges against Pa. abortion doc tossed
By MARYCLAIRE DALE
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA
A
judge has thrown out some of the murder charges against a Philadelphia
abortion provider involving babies allegedly born alive.
Common
pleas court Judge Jeffrey Minehart dismissed three first-degree murder
charges Tuesday against Dr. Kermit Gosnell. Minehart has not explained
the reasoning behind his ruling.
Prosecutors have argued that the babies were viable and Gosnell and his staff cut them in the back of the neck to kill them.
Defense
lawyer Jack McMahon had argued Tuesday “there is not one piece …. of
objective, scientific evidence that anyone was born alive” at Gosnell’s
clinic.
Gosnell still faces charges that he killed a patient and four other babies allegedly born alive.
