Wonder no more:
Every other major MSNBC show has devoted major segments to the killing of abortion doctor George Tiller. Keith Olbermann devoted most of an hour to it on Monday, and then returned to it for extended, moving coverage on Tuesday. Rachel Maddow, who led with the photo of the first abortion-doctor killer Michael Griffin on Monday, came back to the case last night.
But Joe Scarborough, who has three times as much of an opportunity each day than either of them (6 to 9 a.m.), has yet to discuss it (other than as a news headline routinely reported during the show). And, as we pointed out yesterday, Scarborough was Michael Griffin's lawyer. Scarborough began representing Griffin shortly after he was arrested for shooting Dr. David Gunn three times in the back on his way to his abortion clinic. The family later replaced the then 29-year-old attorney with no trial experience, but Scarborough made appearances on Griffin's behalf for three months and told the court he was ready to try the case. Scarborough did the work pro bono, as "a favor to a friend," he told the Voice.
It's a bitch when you get caught.
