David
Daleiden & Sandra Merritt
David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt were brought up on charges
in late March 2017 by a Leftist Pro-Planned Parenthood California Attorney
General Xavier Becerra.

Attorney General Xavier Becerra
Here is an excerpt from my March 30, 2017 post entitled “California: Privacy Trumps Human Life”:
About a half-a-year ago, the Center for Medical Progress
(CMP) under the auspices David Daleiden and Sandra
Merritt exposed Planned Parenthood not only as a baby-killing
factory but also as an agent for selling murdered baby parts to a research
organization illegally. The thing that makes Planned Parenthood heinous is that
babies had to be born intact for the most precious baby parts. Intact means
born alive then killed.
Then later in the same post I cross-posted an Operation
Rescue email which informs about the charges:
Sacramento, CA - Late yesterday,
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra charged pro-life investigative
journalists David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt of the Center for Medical
Progress with 15 felony counts related to secret recordings they made that
provided evidence of Planned Parenthood's participation in the illegal
trafficking of aborted baby remains.
The best that I can tell is that Daleiden and Merritt have
two different legal defense teams. Apparently David Daleiden is represented
primarily by the Thomas More Society and
Sandra Merritt’s team appears to be primarily the Liberty Counsel.
Since I am on the Liberty Counsel’s email press
release alerts. As such, I found out that the California prosecution managed to
have Sandra Merritt handcuffed and thrown in jail.

Merritt handcuffed & jailed
A May 5 Liberty Counsel update tells how the
California authorities treated Ms. Merritt as she was incarcerated for a
grueling 12 hours prior to her attorneys procured her release:
After 12 hours, three judges and
$75,000 in bail, Sandra "Susan" Merritt was finally released from
jail Wednesday. Merritt turned herself in to California authorities to answer
the 15-count felony charges brought against her by the State of California for
her undercover work in exposing Planned Parenthood's illegal sale of aborted
baby body parts.
Before Merritt was searched, handcuffed and taken away to jail, she and Horatio Mihet, Liberty Counsel's Vice President of Legal Affairs and Chief Litigation Counsel, shared the Bible verse in Psalm 37:5-7 which says, “Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He will do it. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light and your judgment as the noonday. Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.”
The State of California made it
clear that it will spare no expense to convict her and put her in jail for 11
years. However, Liberty Counsel is defending Merritt and will seek dismissal of
these outrageous and baseless charges. Similar criminal charges arising from
the same recordings were brought against Merritt in Houston, Texas in 2016 but
were eventually dismissed. The allegations say that Merritt and David Daleiden
filmed 14 people without permission between October 2013 and July 2015 in Los
Angeles, San Francisco, and the county of El Dorado. One felony count was filed
for each person. The 15th charge was for criminal conspiracy to
invade privacy.
In light of the California authorities treating Sandra
Merritt like a hardened criminal, the Liberty Counsel has begun an
online movement to gather signatures in support of Sandra. Join the "I
Stand With Sandra” statement to inspire confidence in this grandmother who
has helped to expose the murderous baby-killing Planned Parenthood in their
nefarious for-profit murder of live babies to sell the most viable human body
parts to human researchers.
Below is the Liberty Counsel short email and the text
explaining that Sandra Merritt is deserving of support and the LINK that will
