WICHITA, Kansas, Jan. 19 /Christian Newswire/ -- The following letter has been sent to Sedgwick County District Nola Foulston and Attorney General Paul Morrison after a failed attempt to address concerns with Ms. Foulston earlier today:
Dear Ms. Foulston:
We are deeply concerned that there may be an intentional effort underway on the part of the Sedgwick County District Attorney’s office and the Kansas Attorney General’s office to deny due process in the matter of criminal charges against George R. Tiller for illegal late-term abortions.
We are asking you to read the complaint, then reinstate the 30 misdemeanor charges that were lawfully filed by Attorney General Phill Kline on December 21, 2006. We understand that two judges have already determined that there is probable cause of believe that crimes have been committed. These charges need to be heard in a court of law.
We are requesting a meeting with you on Monday, January 22, 2007, at 11:00 AM to discuss this matter.
We hope that progress is being made toward properly enforcing the laws of the State of Kansas. In the case that we determine that progress is insufficient, we will be forced to request a Federal Investigation in order to determine why the Sedgwick County District Attorney’s office and the Kansas Attorney General’s office will not enforce the law. We hope it does not come to that.
You may contact Rev. Pat Mahoney at 540-538- 4741, if you need to communicate with our group.
Sincerely,
Rev. Pat Mahoney
