Update on Hialeah abortion clinic baby murder case
UPDATE, 11:05a: Read Operation Rescue’s statement condemning Katherine Rundle’s response to FL legislators. It makes very good points.
_______________
I reported last week that members of the FL House of Representatives sent a letter to Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Rundle urging her to prosecute the July 2006 murderer(s) of baby Shanice Williams.
Shanice was allegedly zipped, moving and breathing, into a biohazard bag in the now defunct A Gyn Diagnostics abortion mill by owner Belkis Gonzalez after she survived her late-term abortion. Gonzalez still operates 2 other Miami area mills. She is pictured on the far right, with Shanice’s abortionist, Pierre Renelique, to her left. The FL Board of Medicine revoked his license February 6.
FL pro-lifer Ed Brophy sent me a photo copy of this letter and Rundle’s quick response….
Rundle assumed her current position when picked to take Janet Reno’s place after Reno got the call from President Clinton to be his Attorney General.
Rundle’s political proclivities have raised concerns she is not amenable to pro-life issues such as this case’s invoke. There’s no other explanation for the foot-dragging, although Rundle attempts to do so in her letter. Grab a copy of the FL House letter here and printed names of signers here.

Meanwhile, Rev. Patrick Mahoney and the Christian Defense Coalition held a press conference February 20 in front of Rundle’s office to draw attention to Shanice’s case.

I cannot get the mental image I have of that little one being put into that bag like a piece of trash. My heart aches as I think of how many others this very day are facing the same agonizing death. What kind of a nation are we?!
It’s really sickening that the proabort prosecutor in Florida is so desperate to protect abortion mills that she would turn a blind eye to the murder of a born alive baby. It’s really indicative of their murderous mindset that even infanticide is acceptable to them in order to protect their precious right to kill the unborn and do it “conveniently”.
I know, Doyle. If a woman kills her baby at home, it’s murder. If an abortionist kills the same baby, it’s a slap on the wrist.
Disgusting.
Doyle, the last thing I want to do is defend a pro-abort politician, but do we know if the criminal investigation is concluded? Substantiation of facts to warrant a license revocation is probably different from what’s needed for criminal prosecution. If this is the first prosecution under BAIPA, I’d want her to have all her t’s crossed and i’s dotted. And I have no doubt it takes time to do that.
If, on the other hand, the investigation is wrapped up, and she’s still stalling, I’d be inclined to agree with you.
“What kind of a nation are we?”
Not a good one.
You’re right about that Jasper. I believe that as long as our nation allows our smallest citizens to be murdered, that none of the rest of our problems (such as the economy) will get any better.
Fed up, I understand your point, and if only a week or so had passed, I would be inclined to give the prosecutor the benefit of the doubt. Given how much time has passed, however, the truth is self evident, IMO, that she is trying to just “let it go away”.
Doyle, I have a close relative who works in law enforcement in Florida. Sometimes he gets frustrated and vents about the kinks in the system and the cumbersome hoops he has to jump through. He’s taught me that there’s usually a lot more that goes on behind the scenes than the average person like me realizes. That’s why I can believe that it may take time. But I’m on your side. This case cries out for prosecution if the facts are what they seem to be.
Just the facts as reported in the MSM (you know, the proabort media?) are enough to warrant an arrest and a prosecution…. and yet the prosecutor dillies and dallies…. and shows no interest in the case at all.
Sorry, I’m not at all sympathetic with that prosecutor or optimistic about her having any interest in justice. “If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, etc……”
I’m confused. This happened in 2006 and we’re just getting to this now. I realize these things take time, but nearly 3 years i quite a while.

In a statement from Miami State Attorney, Katherine Fernandez Rundle of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida, dated Friday February 20, 2009, this “No-Show” prosecutor states in her second paragraph (emphasis added):
“The events at the Hialeah abortion clinic are the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation and, as such, cannot be discussed since doing so is improper and could damage what we have worked so hard to accomplish for two long years.”
Two long years? Worked so hard to accomplish? Do the Math: It was precisely Friday,July 28, 2006, 11:06 pm US/Eastern time, when Dave Malkoff, (CBS4 News) HIALEAH, FL., first broke the story titled: ” Dead Baby Found In Hialeah Abortion Clinic,Clinic Has Been Closed”. Last Friday, February 20, 2009, Rundle finally peeps a blurb.
This was the very first statement ever (ever) made last Friday by Ms Rundle to the public or press, since the case broke close to two and and a half years ago, “not” two years as she painstakingly attempts to emphasize in this, her very first statement(ever)about the case.
Does Katherine Fernandez Rundle truly demonstrate conviction with an ability to communicate quickly and act effectively with a sense of urgency? Can she get the facts and timelines straight so the prosecution can position itself for results?… Or does she effectively devaluate urgencies?
At this very late point in time, we may still take some responsibility by calling the Fl. Attorney General (above Rundle) who has been known in the past to be more focused and concentrated in justice and matters of law throughout the state.
“Judge of a man by his questions” ~Voltaire.
It’s been nearly two and a half years,
so clearly what needs to happen is that somebody has to be asking the right questions for this case to be finally prosecuted now. It doesn’t really matter who that person is, as long as those questions get answered. Please share the story of your calling experience with others.
The Miami (Hialeah) Telephone number, for the Florida Attorney General and the best number to call now and take responsibility with others is: 305-377-5441
Andy: Exactly. Three years is more than enough, given that the facts of the case are well known and very indicative that this child was murdered, even by the proabort legal definition.
Miami Katherine Fernandez Rundle has been the primary prosecution squatter for two and a half years now laughing her miserable head off…

“What has to happen before Governor Crist
appoints another State Attorney’s Office
that has the integrity, sense of urgency,
and conviction to take responsibility for prosecuting the “Baby Shanice” murder?
