On the bright side, he’s still facing four more murder charges.
PHILADELPHIA, April 23, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A federal judge has dropped nine charges – including three murder charges and one count of infanticide – against Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell, as his trial resumed this morning.
Local media report the judge has determined Gosnell will not face three counts of murder, one count of infanticide, and five counts of abuse of a corpse. The latter charges related to Gosnell’s keeping the severed feet of aborted babies in jars in his clinic.
Gosnell still faces the remaining five charges of murder.
Gosnell’s defense attorney, Jack McMahon, had asked that all seven charges of first degree murder be dismissed due to lack of evidence, a standard tactic. The judge did not indicate why he dropped the nine charges, according to reporters in the courtroom.
