A jury has reached decisions on more than 260 charges against Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell, finding him guilty of first-degree murder on three of four charges involving the deaths of four babies.
The Washington Post reports that the trial will now transition "into a sentencing phase to decide whether Gosnell should receive the death penalty or face life in prison."
Jurors told the judge this morning that they were hung on two charges against Gosnell, but returned after deliberation with a complete verdict. In addition to the 'guilty' verdict in the three first-degree murder cases, Gosnell also was found guilty of "involuntary manslaughter in the drug-overdose death of a patient who had undergone an abortion."
