Abortion doctor’s killer must serve 50 years

A FANATIC who murdered a doctor who performed late-term abortions was sentenced to life in prison and must serve 50 years — the maximum allowed by US law — before he can apply for parole.

Scott Roeder, 52, faced a mandatory life prison term for gunning down Dr George Tiller in the back of the doctor’s church in Wichita, Kansas, last May.

Defiant to the end, he showed no remorse during yesterday’s sentencing and sought to justify his crime by describing abortion procedures in gritty and graphic detail.
