The Associated Press
WICHITA, Kan. - The convicted killer of a Kansas abortion provider will get a hearing for a petition complaining of his treatment in prison and seeking his release.

Scott Roeder's habeas corpus petition is set for a hearing Friday before Judge Timothy Henderson in Wichita. A habeas corpus petition requires that a judge determine whether the government can continue to hold a prisoner.

His court-appointed attorney, Michael Brown, could not immediately be reached Thursday for comment.

The separate murder case against Roeder for killing Dr. George Tiller remains under appeal.

1. What a fucking wimp n/t

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

2. He's a right-wing extremist. Kinda comes with the territory, no? -nt

[notadmblnd]

3. What? He thought prison was supposed to be fun?

maybe he thought it was supposed to be a carnival or a picnic. Sorry, Roeder, if you can't do the time, don;t do the crime.

[demtenjeep]

5. he still thinks he was doing God's work

and thought he would be praised not convicted

[Hassin Bin Sober]

38. He'll have to kill himself to test THAT theory. I say he should give it a whirl.

[Catshrink]

7. NO, he's a hero

he should have the penal penthouse - at least that's what his handlers led him to believe. (no, I don't believe for a second he did this on his own.)

[demtenjeep]

16. I truly believe he thought he would be praised

and not be prosecuted

[hobbit709]

4. He's a convicted murderer

of course they can keep him locked up.

[Sebastian Doyle]

6. Didn't the Bush Crime Family argue that Habeas Corpus doesn't apply to terrorists?

I'm sure Roeder voted for Chimp and Darth twice, so it's only fair that he gets treated according to the standards he voted for.

Maybe they can waterboard the piece of shit too?

[gratuitous]

8. Even convicted murderers get their rights

It's a weird system, and probably second worst that could possibly be fashioned. Worse would be just about anything else. I hope Mr. Roeder gets a full, complete and impartial review of his petition before a decision is handed down, so that we can all be sure (especially Mr. Roeder) that he had every break imaginable, and was still found to be a low-down, cowardly fuckwad. I don't want there to be any reasonable doubt about that both for the low-down, cowardly fuckwad's sake, and my own.

[Caliman73]

27. Roeder will never think that he has had any breaks.

In his mind he is not guilty of murder, he was defending the poor innocent babies. He will never accept that he actually committed callous murder. I agree that our system is set up to try to be as accurate and impartial as possible and we need to go through these processes, but to think that Roeder will ever one day think, "Yeah, I got a fair trial" would be like waiting for Dick Cheney to say, "Man we made some really awful, unconstitutional decisions."

9. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time!

[burnsei sensei]

10. Even common criminals know

that Roeder is scum.

[mike_c]

11. what a bunch of town busies we are, to mock the imprisoned....

:wtf:

Rotten eggs and vegetables, anyone?

[demtenjeep]

12. Oh it is major news here...since it is my town

cameras and trucks from ALL over the place are here

[mike_c]

13. yes, but the OP title makes your condescension clear....

The man is doing his time. I think he deserves some respect for that. I'd respect him more if he didn't whine about it as much, but then I'd probably whine too, in his place. It's hard to look down on the man when you can envision yourself in his shoes.

[monmouth]

14. You are kidding, right? Respect for doing his time because he murdered

someone in cold blood????? I don't envision myself in his shoes, the thought to murder someone (and I've had two, count 'em, two husbands) has never crossed my mind....He's a whiny crybaby who will die in jail, as he should.

17. I don't even care

if it makes me hard feeling

[RayOfHope]

24. DESERVES respect for doing time? Are you KIDDING? n/t

[JI7]

26. what kind of stupid shit is this ? the piece of shit MURDERED an innocent person

there are family and friends who no longer have a husband, father, friend etc .

respect the fucker for doing time ? hahahhahaha

[Caliman73]

28. Envision yourself in his shoes?

You can see yourself committing premeditated murder against a person because of a difference in beliefs? He deserves NO respect whatsoever. He is doing his time because he was convicted after putting up an unsuccessful defense. He is serving his sentence because it is either that or he kill himself. He is trying to get out of serving his sentence in prison by claiming that he is being mistreated or unlawfully detained.

How in hell do you figure the murderer deserves one shred of respect? He should be treated humanely within the context of the imprisonment for example, there should be no beatings or verbal abuse from guards or allowing of other inmates to beat him. He should be fed, allowed to bathe and have clean clothing according to an acceptable standard. He should not be separated from others as in being placed in solitary confinement unless he poses a threat or major disruption to the prison. Other than that he is in PRISON for 1st Degree Murder.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

31. Respect? He killed an innocent person, you idiot.

[Ikonoklast]

32. This tells me more about you, than about him.

I cannot envision myself in the shoes of a cold-blooded killer, who guns down people in front of their families.

Fuck him, I hope he rots in prison for a long, long time.

[mike_c]

33. empathy used to be a liberal trait....

Not any longer, I see. I'll bet everyone responding in this thread would whine just as loudly if faced with the same punishment. Not much empathy around here anymore, apparently.

[Ikonoklast]

34. No. I accept total responsibility for my actions. A Liberal trait.

I do not empathize with premeditated murderers in any way.



And the only whining I see in this thread is coming from you.

[mike_c]

35. you truely don't see anything wrong with mocking the less fortunate and the downtrodden...?

Sure, he's imprisoned because of his crimes. What more punishment do you want? Why add your contempt? He's doing his time. He's being punished.

I've been shocked by the bile expressed in this thread. In your response to me, you act as though compassion is a character flaw.

And if you think you could do the time any better, I suspect you're fooling yourself. I know I couldn't.

[Ikonoklast]

37. He IS NOT doing his time.

He is bucking his punishment every step of the way. This will not be that last time he complains about prison not being to his liking.

What part of that do you refuse to see?

And I reiterate that I have zero compassion for pre-meditated murderers.

You may waste yours on such scum.

Not me.

[old mark]

25. Fuck him. He got better than he deserved - I was sorry they don't have the death penalty. nt

[demtenjeep]

29. we do

but he didn't meet the criteria.


too bad some didn't take him out

[old mark]

30. "He didn't meet the criteria"? Does anyone if not him? nt

[old mark]

18. Roeder can't understand why he is not being treated as a great man - he thinks he did right.

He has enough people behind him that I am sure we will see appeals such as this for years to come, and when he finally accepts he is in prison for life, and his delusions clear away, I think he will decompensate into real mental illness...


mark

[demtenjeep]

19. The judge today basically told him to go cheney himself

but every time he has a complaint, he costs us money

[Catshrink]

21. Thanks for the update.

[demtenjeep]

22. no problem

by the way, my relative that works at Roeder's life home says he is treated fine, just like all the rest of the inmates.


Roeder just thought he would be a hero. I watched the sentencing...he looked shocked that he would be put in jail

[bulloney]

20. Being a martyr ain't what it's cracked up to be, eh Mr. Roeder?

Whatsamatter? Did your colleagues swipe your soap-on-a-rope too many times?

[UTUSN]

23. his COURTAPPOINTED lawyer requested DISMISSAL of his crybabbyCRAP?!1

[jazzelle]

36. I'm against the death penalty...

but i would make an exception here.
