Man Charged With Murder Of Abortion Provider Tiller Pleads Not Guilty
Scott Roeder, the man charged with the May 31 shooting death of abortion provider George Tiller, pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and aggravated assault at a Wichita, Kan., hearing on Tuesday, the AP/Boston Globe reports (AP/Boston Globe, 7/29). After witnesses described events surrounding the shooting, the judge presiding over the hearing concluded that there was sufficient evidence to try Roeder. Tiller was murdered in the foyer of his church, where he was serving as an usher. According to several church members who testified Tuesday, Roeder occasionally had come to the church in the months before the shooting.The trial is scheduled to begin Sept. 21 (Davey, New York Times, 7/28). At the hearing, Roeder made no public comments, and the not-guilty plea was entered by the public defender representing him in the case (AP/Boston Globe, 7/29).If convicted, Roeder likely will face life in prison, as the case does not meet state criteria for the death penalty. His lawyers declined to comment on their defense plans (New York Times, 7/28).

GMC Consults On The Management Of Fitness To Practise Cases

The GMC is starting a 3 month consultation into the management of fitness to practise hearings. The hearings management consultation will examine whether, during the period immediately preceding the hearing, there can be more effective communication between doctor and defence teams in order to agree sensible time estimates. The consultation paper also asks for views on whether the parties can take steps to narrow the issues in dispute and what steps the GMC could take to ensure that pre-hearing arrangements are adhered to. The consultation is part of the GMC"s regular review of GMC"s policies and procedures. Paul Philip, Director of Standards and Fitness to Practise at the GMC said "The vast majority of doctors are good doctors working in often difficult circumstances. Each year we hold around 200 public hearings to examine whether a doctors fitness to practise is impaired. This consultation will examine ways of further improving procedures particularly so the minority of very complex cases, can be resolved in good time." "Proposed changes to the way in which hearings are managed are designed to ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of the GMC"s processes and we are very keen to seek views and suggestions to help us inform where improvements can be made." The consultations run until 10 August. To take part visit here. General Medical Council
