Citing threats by Roeder, judge raises bond for suspect in Tiller slaying to $20 million

WICHITA | A judge took possible threats made by the man accused of killing abortion provider George Tiller seriously enough that he raised his bond to $20 million from $5 million, according to a transcript released Tuesday.

During the June 10 telephone call, Judge Warren Wilbert cited comments made by 51-year-old Scott Roeder of Kansas City, Mo. to the media days earlier, saying those remarks cast “a different light” on the suspect.

Roeder told The Associated Press on June 7, “I know there are many other similar events planned around the country as long as abortion remains legal.”

In raising the bond, Wilbert expressed concern about whether Roeder would “perpetuate, participate or enact any more violence on his own or in concert with others.” He also found that Roeder was a flight risk.

4. i`m more concerned with those who believe what he did was right

protecting the life of this judge or the trial judge is the main concern with the fbi and other government agency.

he`s going away for the rest of his life.

I have no doubt they were close to raising enough money to bail him out.
