Just a few hours after the jury announced a deadlock on two of the charges in a murder trial that's gained as much notoriety for its sickening crimes as its controversial (lack of) coverage (and news), the court has announced that the jury has reached a verdict on all 260+ counts against Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell. The jury found Gosnell guilty on three of the four counts of first-degree murder, for killing babies that had been born alive in his clinic after induced labor. He was found not guilty on the fourth charge, but was also found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for the death of a 41-year-old woman who died of lethal drug overdose while undergoing an abortion.

Bucks County Courier Times and The Intelligencer reporter JD Mullane, who has been covering the trial from inside the courthouse, was the first to report the news.

Tara Murtha of Philadelphia Weekly also reported that Gosnell was found not guilty of murder of the fourth baby. Each of the first-degree murder charges could earn him the death penalty.
