Today is a good day. Scott Roeder–the man who, in cold blood and with years of premeditation–walked into a church and shot Dr. George Tiller in the head–was convicted of first degree murder charges. After only 37 minutes of deliberation, the jury in the case sent an unequivocal message: there is no level of [...]
