Kansas City , Mo. – Scott Roeder will be back in a Wichita court today for a preliminary hearing. District Attorney Nola Foulson and attorneys for Roeder will present evidence in an attempt to persuade the judge to go forward with the trial. Roeder is suspected of shooting Dr. George Tiller, the controversial doctor who performed late-term abortions, in the lobby of his church on Sunday, May 31st.

Roeder was apprehended later that day on his way back to Johnson County on I-35. Some of those who have known Roeder, including his ex-wife, talk about their communication with the suspect since he went to jail.
