Colorado Planned Parenthood shooting suspect to appear in court

Source: Reuters

The gunman accused of killing three people and wounding nine at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs was due to appear in court by video link from jail on Monday.

Robert Lewis Dear, 57, was expected to face multiple counts of murder and attempted murder. Planned Parenthood says reports he told investigators "no more baby parts" after his arrest showed he had an anti-abortion agenda.

Dear was to appear before a judge by video link at 1:30 p.m. MST from the jail where he is being held without bond.
...
Officials with the U.S. Justice Department have joined the investigation by state and local authorities, raising the possibility the federal government could bring a terrorism or civil rights charge against Dear, or both.

3. It would be very good if he is charged with (and convicted of) domestic terrorism.

It would help to change the narrative to where it should be.
