SAN FRANCISCO - Sandra 'Susan' Merritt has filed a Motion to Dismiss asking the San Francisco Superior Court to dismiss the politically-motivated criminal complaint brought against her by the State of California, because it is legally deficient.
Liberty Counsel is defending Merritt and seeks dismissal of the 15 felony charges brought against her for her undercover work in exposing Planned Parenthood's unethical and potentially illegal profiteering from the sale of aborted baby body parts. California Attorney General Xavier Becerra filed these charges against Merritt, claiming that her undercover video recordings violated California law because she did not obtain Planned Parenthood's "consent" prior to exposing its gruesome schemes. To date, no other citizen journalist or journalism organization has ever been charged with a crime for undercover recordings.
