Mary LaFrancis, a retired nurse from Nebraska, prays in front of the Sedgwick County Courthouse where Tiller was on trial on March 23, 2009, facing 19 misdemeanor charges for allegedly consulting a second physician in late-term abortion cases who was not “independent” as required by Kansas state law. Tiller was acquitted of all charges.
