Updated- Video- Abortionist Kermit Gosnell Found Guilty Of Three Of Four 1st Degree Murder Counts

By Susan Duclos

(Remember baby killer Kermit Gosnell is not an isolated, rare example of late-term abortionists, as Live Action's undercover investigative videos, four released so far, shows quite clearly.)

Late-term abortionist Kermit Gosnell has been found guilty of three out of four first degree murder counts for killing  babies A, C and D, after botched abortions, where testimony showed he snipped their spinal cords after birth.

Earlier the jury had come back saying they were hung on just two of the counts against Gosnell. The judge sent the jury back to deliberations and they finally reached a verdict in 250 plus counts.

Former Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell has been found guilty on three of four counts of first-degree murder involving the deaths of four babies.

He was also found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of former patient Karnamaya Mongar.

Gosnell will now face the death penalty in the sentencing phase.

The jury of seven women and five men weighed a total of 263 crimes against Gosnell with the most serious being four counts of first-degree murder.
 The Jury did not find Gosnell guilty on first or third degree murder charges on Baby E.

Previously Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey Minehart threw out for lack of evidence three of seven murder counts involving aborted fetuses.  Those three were babies C, F and G. That left the jury to consider charges involving the infants identified as Baby A, Baby C, Baby D and Baby E.

[Update] According to the video clip of the new report, shown below, Gosnell was found not guilty of 19 of the 227 informed consent charges. (Charges related to whether Gosnell had the women sign a consent form)

Guilty also on the charges of performing abortions past the 24th week, which is illegal in the state of Pennsylvania.

Via Yahoo News:

Gosnell faced hundreds of lesser charges, including employing a minor in his clinic and violating the state's 24-hour waiting period for abortions. He was also charged with performing abortions on women who were more than 24 weeks pregnant, which is illegal in the state. Gosnell's wife, a cosmetologist who helped perform the abortions, was among four of the clinic's employees who also pleaded guilty to several charges.

More from CNN: Gosnell was also found guilty of 21 counts of abortion of the unborn, 24 weeks or older.

More from Life News:

 The abortionist faces 258 counts total and other charges against him include one count of infanticide and one of racketeering, 24 counts of performing third-trimester abortions and 227 counts of failing to follow the 24-hour waiting period law before an abortion so women can consider its risks and alternatives.
