Jack McMahon, the attorney for abortionist Kermit Gosnell on trial for eight counts of murder, argued in a Philadelphia court room that Officer John Taggart exaggerated how bad the conditions were at Gosnell’s Women’s Medical Society.
Taggart, a veteran of almost 22 years with the police department, was unfazed and unflappable. Along with other members of the Crime Scene Unit, he “retrieved equipment from the clinic and arranged it in the well of the courtroom where Gosnell’s murder trial is being held,” according to the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Joseph A. Slobodzian.

Over the course of Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning, Taggart identified just some of the more than 300 photos he took of the abortion clinic on June 23, 2010, and the “desiccated, withered remains of five aborted fetuses” whose photos he took on September 13, 2010. As detailed in excerpts NRL News Today has run from the Grand Jury report, the babies’ remains were found in a freezer at Gosnell’s clinic.

And Taggart’s photos of the babies aborted alive and then allegedly murdered  were tough going. So, too, with photos of the severed feet of aborted babies that Gosnell mysteriously preserved in dozens of specimen jars.

(McMahon won his objection to the jury seeing photos of the remains of Karnamaya Mongar, the 41-year-old refuge whom the prosecution says died  in 2009 from an overdose of sedatives and narcotics administered by Gosnell’s untrained staff.)
The trial, expected to go 6-8 weeks, is now in the mid-point of week number three. Gosnell is charged with third degree murder in Mrs. Mongar’s death and seven counts of first degree murder in the deaths of babies born alive whom prosecutors say Gosnell murdered by slitting their spinal cords.
Prosecutors allege that Gosnell killed hundreds of viable babies but the paperwork is missing, making prosecution impossible.
