Scott Roeder, convicted killer of Dr. George Tiller of Witchita, Kansas was sentenced to 50 years in prison yesterday. In that neck of the woods, it’s called ‘The Hard 50.’ He would not be eligible for parole until after 50 years. Roeder is 52 years old so he will probably died in prison. He sat quietly in court but has remained arrogant without remorse, according to the Pittsburgh-Post Gazette.
This is a significantly dangerous man,” said Sedgwick County District Attorney Nola Foulston, who argued that Dr. Tiller’s murder was “an act of terrorism” committed by a man who, although perhaps “acting as a lone wolf, has been so affected by terrorist ideas and ideals.”
