Video- Prosecuter raises bond for suspect in Dr Tiller murder for fear of more violence



Doesn't sound like they think he's a "lone wolf".

WICHITA, Kan. - Prosecutors are taking possible threats made by the man accused of killing abortion provider George Tiller seriously. That's why the bond for Scott Roeder was raised to $20 million from $5 million.

A transcript released Tuesday of an impromptu telephone call last week between attorneys and the judge in the case makes public for the first time why his bond was increased.

District Attorney Nola Foulston told the judge prosecutors were concerned about the safety of the community because Roeder can "reach out" to several people and blogs. She said a reasonable person would believe the suspect has engaged in "alleged acts of American terrorism."
