2009 in Mug Shots

Scott Roeder
Accused of: murder
On May 31, Dr. George Tiller, one of the nation's only doctors to perform late-term abortions, was shot to death in the foyer of his longtime church in Wichita, Kans., as he handed out church bulletins at a Sunday service. Authorities arrested Roeder, an avowed antiabortion activist, in connection with the killing a few days later. He pleaded not guilty; his trial is set to begin in January 2010.
