Kopp Sentenced to Life Plus 10 for Abortion Provider's Murder

Militant abortion opponent James Kopp was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison plus 10 years on federal charges for the 1998 murder of a doctor who performed abortions. The sentencing of Kopp in US District Court closed a case that began nearly nine years ago with the sniper-style slaying of Dr. Barnett Slepian in his Amherst, New York, home.
