Daleiden Appears in Court, Rejects Plea Deal, Demands an Apology While Supporters Demand that Charges are Dropped
February 5, 2016
Houston,
TX - Surrounded by a phalanx of attorneys and a crush of news
reporters and cameramen, David Daleiden turned himself in to the
Houston Courts on Thursday in response to the indictments handed down
last week by a Harris County grand jury. Those indictments, one felony
and one misdemeanor, were related to his undercover journalism work
that exposed Planned Parenthood's illegal profit-taking from the sale
of aborted baby organs.
Operation Rescue's Cheryl
Sullenger and the Christians Defense Coalition's Rev. Patrick Mahoney
were in court in support of Daleiden, head of the Center for Medical
Progress, as he reported to two different court rooms and posted bail
in the amount of $3,000.
Daleiden's booking and court
appearances was followed by a well-attended press conference led by
Rev. Mahoney, which featured Daleiden, two of his attorneys, Peter
Breen of the Thomas More Society and Operation Rescue's Texas Attorney
Briscoe Cain. Sullenger was also a featured speaker.
