Dr. Kermit Gosnell

Jurors found Dr. Kermit Gosnell guilty of first-degree murder for killing three new born infants. The jurors found that his "greed"was a major element in their verdict. Dr. Kermit Gosnell was sentenced to a third life sentence. They will be served consecutively, ensuring that he will spend the rest of his life in prison.

The doctor was accused of routinely carrying out late term abortions, but was convicted of "snipping" the spinal cords of three babies who were born alive. For two months, the jury heard the horrible testimonies from members of Gosnell's staff. Eight staffers have pleaded guilty to several crimes. None of the staff were licensed nurses or doctors.
