Kermit Barron Gosnell is a former OB/GYN who was convicted of murdering three infants who were born alive during late-term abortions. He also killed at least one female patient.
When blogger Molly Mullaney takes photos of the empty press benches in the courtroom and posts them on social media, it is a dramatization of the actions of Calkins Media columnist J. D. Mullane. His posts unleashed a storm of posts, and several days later, the benches were filled with reporters.
Gosnell is referred to as "America's Biggest Serial Killer" because, according to testimony and evidence presented to the Grand Jury, murder of live-born viable infants was a routine practice at Gosnell's clinic. Employee Tina Baldwin testified that she had seen Gosnell kill "hundreds" of infants. Employee Steve Massof admitted that he had probably killed 100 live-born infants himself, and other employees killed live-born infants because Gosnell told them it was a normal part of abortion practice to "ensure demise." They reported having seen Gosnell do it so often that it came to seem unremarkable. Gosnell was charged in only seven cases because of the difficulty in identifying specific infants out of the unnamed multitude.
When Dean Cain first saw the set for Gosnell's clinic, he asked the producers if they hadn't gone a bit over the top. They responded by showing him footage of the actual raid to demonstrate that they'd tried hard to replicate what the real James Woods saw.
