Last month, Robert Lewis Dear entered a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado and opened fire, taking the lives of three people. During a court hearing yesterday, Dear went on a rant admitting he is guilty of murder and claiming he is a “warrior for babies.” “While his lawyers were discussing pretty routine matters related to the future media coverage, Dear suddenly shouted that he’s guilty and that he’s ‘a warrior for the babies,’” said Colorado Public Radio’s Ben Markus, who was present in the courtroom during Dear’s outbursts. “He ranted that he saw atrocities in the clinic and lots of blood. He accused his public defenders at one point of conspiring with Planned Parenthood against him. He said he wouldn’t submit to a mental health evaluation, fearing that his attorneys would try to drug him up.” Dear was charged with first-degree murder, as well as other counts for the crime. He is scheduled back in court in two weeks. Read more.
