Abortion doctor’s killer faces hearing on intimidation complaint
WICHITA — The imprisoned killer of one of the nation's few late-term abortion providers faces a disciplinary hearing Monday over accusations he tried to intimidate the woman who reopened his closed abortion clinic in Wichita.
Monday's hearing against Scott Roeder, which will be held at the state prison in Lansing where he is imprisoned, will be closed to the public.
The 55-year-old abortion opponent is serving a life sentence for gunning down George Tiller in May 2009 at the physician's Wichita church.
The Kansas Department of Corrections filed the administrative charge against Roeder after receiving a letter from Sedgwick County Deputy District Attorney Ann Swegle asking whether the department was taking any kind of administrative action over a YouTube video of a jailhouse phone call with Roeder, DOC spokesman Jeremy Barclay said Friday. Swegle was one of the prosecutors in Roeder's murder case.
