After undercover journalist David Daleiden of the Center for Medical Progress reported on the baby-parts business conducted by some Planned Parenthood affiliates, a Texas grand jury handed down an indictment – not against Planned Parenthood, but against Daleiden for human-organ trafficking. Today, a Texas judge threw out one of the charges.
Coincidentally, the dismissal follows the admission by a PP attorney that the district attorney illegally shared confidential documents about the case with Planned Parenthood attorneys.
From the Center for Medical Progress statement on the dismissal:
“Judge Diane Bull’s swift dismissal of the bogus charge against CMP founder David Daleiden of trafficking human organs is the latest confirmation that the indictments from a runaway grand jury in Houston were a politically-motivated sham all along….The dismissal of the first indictment today sends a strong message to Planned Parenthood and their political cronies that colluding to suppress the First Amendment rights of citizen journalists will never work.”
