Common Law: Deputies discuss Roeder trial security

Courtroom security became a major issue during the Scott Roeder murder trial. Not only did Roeder admit killing Wichita abortion provider George Tiller, the gallery drew several people who had been convicted of and spent time in prison for violent crimes against abortion clinics. Sheriff’s deputies Dioane Gates and David Rank talked about their experiences, such as walking Roeder from jail each day and maintaining a safe courtroom.
