Dr. Kermit Gosnell, a West Philadelphia doctor known for performing late-term abortions, was found guilty on Monday of three out of four counts of first-degree murder.
The verdict came after a five-week trial in which the prosecution and the defense battled over whether the fetuses Dr. Gosnell was charged with killing were alive when they were removed from their mothers.
Dr. Gosnell was acquitted of one first-degree murder charge involving an aborted fetus and was also acquitted of third-degree murder in the death of a 41-year-old patient.
