Maybe they should have gone for the insanity plea. What did the defense team think would happen with testimony that Dr. Gosnel cut the heads off babies or at least cut the spinal column of at least three babies? Did the defense team think the jury would forget that babies outside the womb are considered to be human beings even though the mother had abandoned them? The doctor was also found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of a patient.
