Great escape?

Kansas pro-life and pro-abortion activists held their collective breath in January when a grand jury was seated to investigate George Tiller, who infamously specializes in ultra-late-term abortions. They kept holding their breath when a Wichita grand jury requested 2,000 of Tiller's patient records. And they held it some more when District Judge Paul Buchanan on Feb. 1 amended the request to 250 records chosen at random—50 for each of the past five years.

A relative handful of Tiller records already obtained by former Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline in 2006, as well as Tiller's own public remarks, suggested the abortionist has violated Kansas' law against post-viability abortions thousands of times. Would these new records prove it?
