New York Times: Ewing quoted in story about trial of James Kopp

Charles Patrick Ewing, professor in the UB Law School, is quoted in an article in The New York Times on the federal trial of abortion-opponent James C. Kopp, charged with violating a 1994 law forbidding the use of force to prevent access to reproductive health care. The federal offense carries a potential sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole; Kopp already is serving 25 years to life in prison for the murder of Dr. Barnett Slepian. Ewing notes, "Under New York State law, it's conceivable that someday a parole board could release him. As a practical matter, I don't think that would ever happen." Go to article
