Tiller Suspect's Bail Raised To $20M

The prosecutor of the man accused of killing abortion provider George Tiller told a judge that a reasonable person would believe the suspect has engaged in "alleged acts of American terrorism."

A transcript was released Tuesday of an impromptu telephone call last week between attorneys and the judge in the case of Scott Roeder, of Kansas City, Mo. The document makes public for the first time why Roeder's bond was raised to $20 million.

District Attorney Nola Foulston told the judge prosecutors were concerned about the safety of the community because Roeder can "reach out" to several people and blogs.

In raising the bond, Judge Warren Wilbert cited comments Roeder has made to the news media since his arrest about other possible anti-abortion "events."

In a docket hearing Tuesday, Roeder's preliminary hearing was continued until June 30.
