BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- Joan Dorn's entry in her running diary on Oct. 14, 1998, was brief -- ''Wacky car'' -- but that and the license plate number she jotted down became vital clues for police investigating the sniper slaying of a neighbor.

On Friday, the FBI awarded Dorn $25,000 for her role in the capture and conviction of anti-abortion extremist James Kopp for the murder of Dr. Barnett Slepian, a physician who provided abortions.

Kopp, who is now also suspected in the nonfatal shootings of three Canadian abortion providers and one in Rochester from 1994 to 1997, was convicted of second-degree murder in 2003 and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. He was convicted this past February of related federal charges -- including violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act -- and faces a maximum prison term of life without parole when he is sentenced June 19.

First I am anti-DP BUT After stalking his prey for days and killing a doctor Kopp only got second-degree murder. This is under Bush's watch. They LOVE the death penalty

I honestly don't expect to see another execution in NY State and Federally.. why would shrub and his cronies want to execute a brother in arms?

Shrubbie really wants the death penalty for drug dealers but some guy stalking and killing an abortion doctor, that's right up the psycho in chiefs alley AFAIC.

but not for the righteous who hunt baby killers. :sarcasm:

By the way you are not supposed to editorialize in the headline.
