Baby Killer Kermit Gosnell Gets Life In Prison, Not Death

May 14, 2013 - A Philadelphia abortionist Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 72, will not get the death penalty but will get two consecutive life terms instead.

Gosnell was convicted yesterday of first-degree murder in the deaths of three babies who were delivered alive and then killed in his clinic.

"Gosnell gave up his appeal rights Tuesday, and prosecutors agreed to two life sentences without parole," reports Associated Press.

Prosecutors had asked for the death penalty because Gosnell committed multiple murders. "Gosnell is to be sentenced Wednesday in the death of the third baby," says AP, "an involuntary manslaughter conviction in the death of a patient and hundreds of lesser counts."

"Pennsylvania authorities failed to conduct routine inspections of all its abortion clinics for 15 years by the time Gosnell's facility was raided," reports ABC News. "In the scandal's aftermath, two top state health officials were fired, and Pennsylvania imposed tougher rules for clinics."

He says there may be a new way to combat the TIF monster: Well, there may be a new obstacle in the monster’s path, thanks to a recent court ruling in a case involving a TIF-financed shopping center in downstate Belleville, just this side of the Mississippi River from Saint Louis. On July 16 an Illinois appellate court ruled that individual taxpayers have legal standing to sue municipalities they think are breaking or bending the laws governing TIFs. Previously the lower courts had held that they don’t have standing. FULL ARTICLE at the READER... Who would like to be the first to start a class action suit against their alderman? Anybody?

Marine Sergeant Shows, Jay R. Grodner Hides

The U.S. Marine sergeant whose car was allegedly vandalized by Chicago attorney Jay R. Grodner, who resides in the 7700 block of N. Eastlake Terrace in Rogers Park, showed up in court on Monday, Dec. 31. But the accused scumbag was a no-show. Sgt. McNulty was called at 13:33. Jay R. Grodner was a no show. The judge issued a bench warrant for Mr. Grodner @ 13:36. Sgt. McNulty filed the complaint and raised his hand and swore that it was true. I thought that was the end of it, so I got up to leave and waited in the waiting area for the Sgt. to come out. A Marine PFC, in dress blues, cut & razor sharp, walked in to lend his support.
