Alexandria Solicitation to Commit Murder, Solicitation to Commit Elevated Aggravated Assault on a Pregnant Person, Assault and Aggravated Trafficking in Drugs [Fairfield]        On October 31, 2005, police arrested Victor Frascone for attempting to hire someone to murder his pregnant wife and a man with whom she may have had a relationship in exchange for drugs. Frascone was lodged at the Somerset County jail, where he was already serving a six-month term for domestic assault on his wife earlier in 2005. His wife had a permanent abuse order filed against him.        Deputy Carl E. Gottardi II of the Somerset County Sheriff's Department posed as the potential hit man and agreed to murder Frascone's wife and her companion. Gottardi said that "He wished to hire somebody to have the persons he mentioned murdered; I ended up being the person he met with. I had conversations with him about what he wanted done — he did request that they be murdered on Halloween night for whatever reason."        Frascone was to give Gottardi a down payment consisting of drugs, primarily Xanax, before the murders were to have taken place.        Evert N. Fowle, District Attorney for Kennebec and Somerset counties, elaborated, saying that Frascone wanted the two to be tortured before they were murdered: "He wanted this person killed in a very painful, deliberate way. He wanted her to suffer. What Mr. Frascone was allegedly proposing be done is the worst-case scenario in domestic violence. I'm glad Lt. Gottardi prevented it from happening; it's a very, very serious matter."        Frascone was charged with solicitation to commit murder, solicitation to commit elevated aggravated assault on a pregnant person and aggravated trafficking in drugs, all felony crimes.

Augusta Assault [Hallowell]        41-year-old pro-abortionist Robert Bachand punched 61-year-old pro-lifer Ronald Stauble outside state Republican headquarters as he held a picture of an aborted preborn child. First, he swore at the pro-lifers and tried to grab their signs. Although Stauble suffered broken glasses and an obvious cut above his eye, Bachand denied touching him. Reference:  Mike Laberge. "Protester Hurt in Hallowell: Counselor Accused of Hitting Anti-Abortion Activist." Morning Sentinel, July 14, 1994, page 9. Bangor Murder and Cruelty to Animals (4 incidents)        On January 4, 2003, Roscoe Sargent murdered his wife, Heather Fliegelman Sargent, who was eight months pregnant, in their trailer at the Rainbow Trailer Park in Bangor, Maine. He stabbed her 47 times to make absolutely certain that she was dead, then tied a plastic bag over her head. Apparently, his bloodlust was not yet satisfied, because he then killed their four cats. After he was finally finished, he went out for Chinese food and a night of drinking.        Two days later, police found Heather's body. Sargent was not charged with the murder of his viable preborn son because the State of Maine does not recognize any preborn child, no matter how late-term, as being any more important that a slab of warm meat.        Sargent waived a jury trial, was found guilty of murder, and was sentenced to fifty years in prison.        Heather's family posthumously named the little boy Jonah and noted that Sargent could have been sentenced to four years in prison for killing the cats, but would not even spend one extra minute in jail for murdering his own viable preborn son. Reference:  Maine Supreme Judicial Court. State of Maine v. Roscoe Sargent, appeal decided June 23, 2005, "Background." Assault        A pro-abortionist threw a bottle at a pro-life picketer who was holding a baby at Mabel Wadsworth Women's Health Center. The assailant said he did it because he did not agree with what the protesters were doing. Reference:  Bangor Daily News, October 27, 1994, page A1. North Yarmouth Assault (2 counts) and Disorderly Conduct (2 counts)        Katelyn Kampf had always had a tense relationship with her parents, Nicholas and Lola.        But things boiled over when Katelyn told them that she was pregnant by Reme Johnson, a Black South African immigrant who was serving jail time for theft. Katelyn said that her parents were upset about the prospect of having a mixed-race grandchild.        On September 15, 2006, Nicholas and Lola Kampf had a heated argument with Katelyn over her pregnancy. Then they tied her up, forced her into their car and drove towards an abortion mill in New York. Along the way, they threatened their daughter and claimed that they would commit suicide in efforts to browbeat her into having an abortion.        The Kampfs were arrested later that day in Salem, New Hampshire. Police charged them with kidnapping, assault and terrorizing.        Katelyn's child D'Andre Johnson was born in January 2007.        On October 5, 2007, Nicholas and Lola Kampf both pleaded guilty to assault and disorderly conduct and got off without a single day in jail. According to their plea agreement, even the assault charges will be dismissed in 18 months as long as they undergo psychological evaluations, pay a total of $5,000 to cover Katelyn's counseling fees, and attend family counseling with their daughter.        Katelyn criticized Cumberland County District Attorney Stephanie Anderson, saying "She's just letting my parents get off with barely a slap on the wrist." She also said that her parents "got away with what they did because they have money and paid for fancy lawyers and private investigators."        It is certainly true that the justice system is heavily biased in favor of abortion. Imagine what would have happened if a pro-life family had kidnapped their own adult daughter and thrown her into the trunk of a car in attempts to stop her from having an abortion! They would have certainly spent decades in prison for this offense. Reference:  Elbert Hall. "Parents Escape Jail Time After Abduction." Kennebec Journal, October 10, 2007.
