Feds launch probe into abortion doctor killing

A comment about the death of Dr. George Tiller is posted on a sign at the Spirit One Christian Center in Wichita, Kan. on Tuesday, June 2, 2009. Scott Roeder was charged Tuesday with first-degree murder in the shooting death of abortion provider George Tiller at a church in Wichita.

The Justice Department on Friday opened an investigation into the killing of Kansas abortion provider George Tiller to see whether the accused gunman had accomplices.

The department will investigate possible federal crimes in connection with Dr. Tiller's slaying at his church on Sunday in Wichita, Kan. State prosecutors have already ruled out seeking the death penalty against the accused gunman, but federal prosecutors did not rule out doing so as they announced their own investigation.

"The Department of Justice will work tirelessly to determine the full involvement of any and all actors in this horrible crime," said Loretta King, head of the department's civil rights division.

Anyone who played a role in the killing, she said, will be prosecuted "to the full extent of federal law."

8. This is one time when I wish I could support the death penalty.

9. For the State to put Scott Roeder to death would be to martyr him.
That would not be a good thing.
