Jury picked for Kansas Come to our last mass meeting of the semester. SUNDAY, JANUARY 24TH AT 6PM ° ~" _420 MAYNARD ST. abortion shooting trial Judge vows to keep abortion debate out of the courtroom WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - The man charged with killing a Kansas abortion doctor will have his fate decided by jurors picked mostly in secret for a trial that has already inflamed both sides of the nation's abortion debate. The selection process that ulti- mately whittled the jury down to eight men and six women took six days and occurred for the most part behind closed doors. Which two jurors are alternates will be decided later. Only the final hour and a half of jury questioning was open to the media - and then only the four news outlets that had appealed the ruling closing it were allowed in the courtroom. Members of the public were turned away from all of it. Opening statements are expect- ed Friday, which is also the 37th anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade that legal- ized abortion. ScottRoeder is accused of fatally shooting Dr. George Tiller on May 31 at a Wichita church. Tiller was one of the few doctors in the U.S. who performed late-term abor- tions. Roeder, 51, of Kansas City, Mo., is charged with first-degree murder and aggravated assault. Roeder told The Associated Press in November that he killed Tiller Think you know where to find the Best Dessert? Do you have the Best Pick-up Line? Is your landlord the Best?

The secretive start to one of the nation's highest-profile trials relat- ed to abortion did little to quell public distrust that it will be fair. "This is the kind of thing that invokes the specter of Star Chamber proceedings," said Dr. Warren Hern of Boulder, Colo., referring to an English court in the 1600s that met in secret and became a symbol of the misuse of power by the monarchy. "Secret proceedings are the antithesis of a democratic society," said Hern, a longtime friend of Til- ler who also performs late-term abortions. The prosecution questioned prospective jurors for an hour and 15 minutes in the open yesterday, while the defense spent just 18 min- utes doing so. Little distinguished the jurors, who mostly answered in chorus to blanket questions about whether they would decide the case on the evidence alone and whether they agreed that Roeder is presumed innocent. Lawyers on both sides then again retreated behind closed doors with the judge to make their juror strikes. It is unknown publicly what the jurors' opinions are on the pivotal issue of the case: abor- tion..Nor does the public know their occupations or much else about them. District Judge Warren Wilbert has repeatedly said the thial will not turn into a debate over abor- tion, warning Roeder's lawyers that he intends to keep the case as a -criminal, first-degree mur- der trial." The closed jury process took place even as the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in a drug trafficking case that the Con- stitution's guarantee of a public trial means judges may not ordi- narily close their courtrooms during jury selection. The Sixth Amendment gives criminal defendants the right to insist on a public trial, extending even to jury selection, the court said. In earlier rulings, the U.S. Supreme Court had said that the public and the news media could assert their right to attend all the phases of a trial. I i
