Planned Parenthood Houston Lawyers Say Charges are ‘Legally Insufficient’

    Newly-hired attorneys for two anti-abortion activists indicted by a Houston grand jury for undercover videos against Planned Parenthood say the charges won’t stand up in court.

    FOX’s Gurnal Scott has the story:

    David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt each face a felony charge of tampering with a government record, but their lawyers say that charge is “legally insufficient”.

    Attorney Jared Woodfill said it was a “runaway” grand jury that misplaced fault in this case:

    (Woodfill) ”Instead of indicting the wrongdoers here, the organization trafficking in baby body parts, they’ve gone after the whistleblower.”

    The videos sparked outrage among Republican leaders over federal funding for Planned Parenthood.

    The lawyers say they’re trying to get their clients to Texas from California to turn themselves in, but they’re not sure when that will be.
