Trial Interaction
Once 2,000 abortion clinics report being attacked, and eight murders were reported by Scheidler and his group of activists; the Supreme Court had finally noticed after the third time NOW filed a lawsuit against Scheidler. The first lawsuit that was filed by NOW was in 1986. It took three times for the Supreme Court to NOW the right to take Joseph Scheidler to Federal Court in 1994. In 1995, the case was taken to a lower court for trial. In 1998, a seven-week jury trial took place in a Federal Court in Chicago. After the seven-week trial, the jury found Scheidler guilty. After Scheidler was found guilty, the Federal Court also found 122 violations against Joseph Scheidler. The overall case went on for 17 years, but the issue went on for more than 20 years. To this day, pro-life activists are still doing what they did more than 20 years ago and are still committing clinic violence.
