2008 by AP] [Back to Front Page News] Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline talks to a men's
group at the Topeka Bible Church in Topeka, Kan. Saturday, Sept, 16,
2006. How prosecutor Phill Kline and his employees handled patient
records is a major issue in a legal dispute before the Kansas Supreme
Court. A Planned Parenthood clinic is trying to force Kline to return
patient files that could be a key part of his criminal case accusing
the clinic of performing illegal abortions and falsifying
documents.Almost all details about the dispute remained secret for 11
months because the Supreme Court had kept separate lawsuits filed by
Planned Parenthood and the attorney general's office under seal. On
Friday May 2, 2008, the court unsealed them, making hundreds of pages
of documents public.
