Charles+J.+Hartwell

I am using the  Grand Jury Report on the crimes of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell as the basis of this Wiki. I will add material to support my contention that though Gosnell is beyond the pale, this is mainly in the way he combined and refined aspects of the ghoulish and callous disregard for humanity often seen in abortionists. He was hardly a pioneer.

In order to distinguish between my own writings, and those of the Grand Jury, I will use a different font that makes the Grand Jury Report appear to be typed.

= = =State Dept lawyer Charles Hartwell,=

Mark Greenwald's supervisor, and Senior Prosecutor-in-Charge at the Department of State's Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs
Lawyers at the Pennsylvania Department of State behaved in the same fashion [as lawyers at the DOH] . Attorneys Mark Greenwald, Charles Hartwell, David Grubb, Andrew Kramer, William Newport, Juan Ruiz, and Kerry Maloney were confronted with a growing pile of disquieting facts about Gosnell, including a detailed, inside account from a former employee, and a 22-year-old dead woman. Every time, though, they managed to dismiss the evidence as immaterial. Every time, that is, until the facts hit the fan.

Charles Hartwell "purportedly reviewed Greenwald’s “evaluation” and approved it on May 14, 2004. Hartwell did so, ostensibly, knowing nothing beyond the bare facts that Semika Shaw died from infection and sepsis two days after Gosnell perforated her uterus and cervix during an abortion procedure. "

He also agreed with Greenwald's recommendation to close the case on Choung's serious allegations against Gosnell's abortion facility, despite Greenwald's tepid "investigation."
