In an unexpected move during pro-lifer Paulette Harlow's trial, Joan Andrew Bell and Jean Marshall will be brought to the courtroom on Wednesday from the Alexandria Detention Center, where they have been incarcerated since their own trial in mid-September.
Department of Justice prosecutors smiled as they saw peaceful pro-lifers’ children crying while their parents were led away. It was a scene to remember.
A legal fight broke out between the defense counsel and the intensely pro-abortion prosecution during closing arguments in the trial of three peaceful pro-life rescuers.
Davis, a major witness in the second FACE Act trial of pro-life activists for their participation in an October 2020 rescue, also admitted that she must testify 'whenever the government calls upon me.'
Caroline Davis is now beholden to the US government should they wish for her to assist in the prosecution of other pro-lifers in the future. Unless she retracts her plea agreement or the FACE Act is struck down, Davis has obliged herself to inform the government on pro-life activity whenever they wish to tap into the information she may have.
The former rescuer, Caroline Davis, was indicted earlier this year for a separate blockade of an abortion center in Michigan. She agreed to testify in the Washington, D.C. trial as part of a plea deal to reduce her felony charge to a misdemeanor.
She sat straight in her chair, looked directly at members of the jury and, with all the zeal of a convert, denounced rescuers as harmful to the pro-life cause, which she said she still believes in.
The abortion facility's director allegedly told police, according to the police report, that the protestors entered her facility when video evidence shows they did not.
