Letters Tiller-death suspect sent to his son
Kansas City Star
In a series of letters, the man accused of killing George Tiller attempts to convince his young son that a heathen government must be resisted.
While some of the letters Scott Roeder wrote from 1996 to 2002 begin unremarkably, with praise for his son's good grades and musical performances, they go on to reveal his evolving beliefs.
They paint a portrait of a man whose religious, political and anti-abortion views were becoming more extreme -- insisting, for example, that Jesus be called "Yahshua" and Christmas shouldn't be celebrated. The income tax is ungodly, Roeder writes, and in a letter on his son's 13th birthday, Roeder defends his failure to pay child support...More...

So the murderer of George Tiller believes he is saving the lives of unborn children BUT will not financially support his OWN child by paying child support?!
Also could someone please explain to me why the anti-terrorist laws are not being applied to this man? Oh I get it - if the government comes down hard how could they then use abortion as a voting tool? Is not what he did an act of domestic terrorism? Shouldn't he and the group he represents be sued in court by Tillers widow - just like it was done to the KKK?

A couple of articles that I don't think we had posted, they are older articles...
Should Scott Roeder Face the Death Penalty?
Last week I reported that Scott Roeder, the man accused of killing Dr. George Tiller, could possibly use a justifiable homicide defense when he goes to trial later this month. Roeder has been charged with first-degree murder and aggravated assault in state court. Under Kansas law, murder is not a capital case unless the murder is committed in the process of committing another crime, or if the victim is a law enforcement office. Roeder is not going to face the death penalty when he goes to trial, which has angered some pro-choice activists. However, the question of whether or not he should be eligible for capital punishment is worth considering anyway...More...
Scott Roeder: The Tiller Murder Suspect
Time Mag.
The May 31 murder of abortion doctor George Tiller, 67, has already been reconstructed in chilling detail: the threats to Good Samaritans who tried to intervene, the single shot in a Wichita, Kans., church, the wailing wife, the gunman's powder-blue getaway car decorated with a red rose an antiabortion emblem and a Jesus fish. But specifics about the suspected shooter, Scott Roeder, 51, are only just starting to emerge. Roeder had been following, and decrying, Tiller's work which included performing abortions after 21 weeks for years. Early reports on Roeder, who was taken into custody shortly after the shooting and is expected to be charged Tuesday, show a history of antiabortion, antigovernment philosophy and protest...More...

Scott Roeder gets Hard 50 in murder of abortion provider George Tiller
It took only 37 minutes to convict Scott Roeder of murder in January; it took nine hours Thursday to sentence him.
As expected, Sedgwick County District Judge Warren Wilbert sentenced Roeder, 52, to life in prison with no possibility of parole for 50 years for the murder of Wichita abortion provider George Tiller.
I have to say, Scott Roeder has no regrets and neither do I, District Attorney Nola Foulston said afterward.
As I listened to Mr. Roeder, it confirmed my belief he is a person who should not be in our community....More...
Scott Roeder Gets Life in Prison
Defiant to the end, an anti-abortion zealot who murdered one of the few U.S. doctors who performed late-term abortions was sentenced Thursday to life in prison and won't be eligible for parole for 50 years -- the maximum allowed by law.
Scott Roeder, 52, faced a mandatory life prison term for gunning down Dr. George Tiller in the back of Tiller's Wichita church last May. He showed no remorse during the daylong sentencing hearing and sought to justify his crime by describing abortion procedures in gritty and graphic detail....More...
