In May of 2023 outside the Planned Parenthood on Howard Street in Baltimore, two elderly sidewalk counselors were brutally beaten by one Patrick Brice. Coverage of the trial was published in the Defend Life newsletter's most recent issue. Today Brice was sentenced for the attack. This sentence amounted to not much more than a slap on the wrist.
The prosecution requested ten years imprisonment. Instead he received one year of home detention; he can still go to work and keep medical appointments. After that he will be on a three-year probation; during that time, he cannot go anywhere near an abortuary or a pro-life pregnancy center.
Such is justice in liberal Baltimore. The ruling, while profoundly disappointing, is by no means surprising. I don't know if any civil suits are in the making; I hope they are.
