Court Dismisses 14 of the 15 Counts Against Sandra Merritt
SAN FRANCISCO - Today, the San Francisco Superior Court dismissed criminal counts 1-14 against Sandra "Susan" Merritt. The court ruled that counts 1-14 were legally insufficient. The state has the opportunity to amend if it can plead a more legally sufficient and specific complaint. The California's Attorney General filed 15 criminal counts against Merritt, with counts 1-14 for each of the alleged interviews and count 15 for an alleged conspiracy. "This is a huge victory to have 14 criminal counts dismissed," said Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel. "We will now turn our attention to dismissing the final count. Sandra Merritt did nothing wrong. The complaint by the California Attorney General is unprecedented and frankly will threaten every journalist who provides valuable information to the public. This final count will also fall," said Staver.
The Attorney General has been an advocate for Planned Parenthood, and the abortion giant has supported his political campaigns. Merritt was one of the two journalists who exposed Planned Parenthood's unethical and potentially illegal profiteering from the sale of aborted baby body parts.
