Disgraced former Attorney General Paul Morrison's ex-mistress also testified and adamantly denied outrageous claims that Kline told her to pressure Morrison to charge Tiller. Wichita, KS - The hearing in a motion to suppress evidence against late-term abortionist George R. Tiller resumed today after a six week break. Tiller is charged with 19 counts of having committed illegal late-term abortions.

They wanted to find out whether Tiller hadn't reported other crimes, and they needed his records to do that. The hearing is also making public for the first time details of a secret investigation conducted for three years by the state's top prosecutor against Kansas abortion providers. The case of the 10-year-old girl who received a late-term abortion has become the center of Tiller's defense team's argument. MORE at The Wichita Eagle.
