HOUSTON — A grand jury here that was investigating allegations of misconduct against Planned Parenthood has instead indicted two anti-abortion activists who made videos of the organization.

In statement, the Harris County district attorney, Devon Anderson, said Monday that the director of the Center for Medical Progress, David Daleiden, had been indicted on a felony charge of tampering with a governmental record and a misdemeanor count related to purchasing human organs.

Another center employee, Sandra Merritt, was indicted on a charge of tampering with a governmental record.



Ms. Anderson said in the statement that grand jurors had cleared Planned Parenthood of any wrongdoing. She did not specify in the statement what record or records were allegedly tampered with.

“We were called upon to investigate allegations of criminal conduct by Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast,” Ms. Anderson said. “As I stated at the outset of this investigation, we must go where the evidence leads us. All the evidence uncovered in the course of this investigation was presented to the grand jury. I respect their decision on this difficult case.”

James O'Keefe was arrested, charged and found guilty. His lies still managed to destroy ACORN, the truth be damned.

A Harris County grand jury investigating allegations that a Planned Parenthood clinic in Houston illegally sold the tissue of aborted fetuses has cleared the organization of wrongdoing and instead indicted two anti-abortion activists behind the undercover videos that sparked the probe.

Secret videographers David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt were both indicted on charges of tampering with a governmental record, a second degree felony that carries a punishment of up to 20 years in prison. Daleiden received an additional misdemeanor indictment under the law prohibiting the purchase and sale of human organs.

Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson announced the surprising indictments Monday after a two-month investigation.

The organization alleged that Daleiden and others used aliases, obtained fake government I.D.s, and formed a fake tissue procurement company in an effort to gain access to private areas and record private conversations to be deceptively edited to create a false impression.

The second indictment for Daleiden suggests that the grand jury found that he went too far in trying to get Planned Parenthood to admit to selling tissue. The crime, a class A misdemeanor is committed if a person intentionally offers to buy or offers to sell a human organ, including fetal tissue. If convicted, the maximum punishment is a year in jail.

The line to admit how wrong were starts to the left.

 

[lovetoread]

Oh dear, those comments though.

 

[someoneyouknow]

I was hoping for libel as well, but it's a start.

Goes to show these people are so desperate they'll lie to make their point.

 

[about_average]

If convicted they should also be charged along with Robert Dear for the Colorado killings.

Libel is a civil matter. With a criminal indictment, even if found not guilty, a civil suit is sure to follow.

So...

Is it trust in the grand jury system this time, or just more partisan piece of shit endorsement of the indicted issue matter?

 

[lovecraft68]

People like his do a lot more harm than good for their own cause. Portrays activists are pretty much hate mongers who stoop to any level to try to get people to take their side.

Oh, wait that's what they are anyway, hate mongers.

Activist= social misfit looking for a 'righteous cause' to get behind so they can feel included. Pretty much why activist and religious moron go hand in hand.

 

[Aglaopheme]

yeah, no!

 

[phrodeau]

The truth has finally put on its shoes.

There are lots of righteous causes out there you know. Many don't get the love they should.

I'd agree that people like this do more harm than good except the part where they clearly don't. Funding Planned Parenthood was a major stumbling block this year and the Pro-Life movement will not die from this. ACORN was destroyed. It's like sucided bombers. You only need one to get it right.

I could say the same things about Greenpeace and PETA. I agree with their mission, but their methods are criminal in many situations.

The cult in this story was just totally off the rails to begin with and I do NOT agree with their mission.

I guess murder is ok now.

John Fuselgang had the best comment on this indictment....

"Tune in to Fox News to avoid further details!"

Who was murdered?

 

[Five_Inch_Heels]

Who was murdered?

Folks what never was.

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

Folks that never will be.

 

[Disgustipated]

Future murderers.

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

Babies that are murdered have no futures.

 

[RoryN]

Anti-abortionists don't really believe abortion is murder.They are liars.

If they did, they'd be doing far more to put a stop to it.

 

[SgtSpiderMan]

Babies that are murdered have no futures.

Again, who was murdered?

I've noticed you've stopped quoting me.
