Abortion doctor's killer's petition dismissed

The Associated Press

WICHITA, Kan. - A Sedgwick County judge has dismissed Scott Roeder's petition complaining about jail conditions and seeking to be released.

The habeas corpus petition Roeder filed in February after being convicted of killing abortion doctor George Tiller was dismissed at the request of his court-appointed attorney, Michael Brown.

Judge Timothy Henderson ruled after a brief hearing that the petition is moot because it complains of conditions at the Sedgwick County jail. Roeder is now being held at the state prison in El Dorado, and the Sedgwick County court has no jurisdiction in that county.

Henderson also noted Roeder has not exhausted his appeals in the Tiller murder case.
