KWCH - Kansas News and Weather - Attorneys for Scott Roeder Want Trial Moved
Member Center:
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - Lawyers for a man who has publicly admitted killing a Kansas abortion provider are seeking to move the trial out of Wichita.
Scott Roeder is scheduled to go on trial Jan. 11 in Sedgwick County District Court. The 51-year-old Kansas City, Mo., man is charged with first-degree murder and aggravated assault in the May 31 shooting death of Dr. George Tiller.
In an interview from jail, Roeder told The Associated Press on Monday he had no regrets about shooting Tiller and believes it was justified to save unborn children.
Roeder's public defenders filed a motion for a change of venue on Tuesday. A hearing on the matter is set for Dec. 22.
