TOPEKA ? Former Attorney General Phill Kline returned to Kansas on Tuesday for a new round of attorney ethics hearings against him.
. . .
In Feb. and March Kline faced eight days of hearings on Count I for allegations of violations of Kansas Rules of Professional Conduct dealing with his investigations as Attorney General and Johnson County District Attorney of abortion clinics in Kansas. That matter has not yet been decided by the hearing panel.
On Tuesday a new round of hearings started on a Count II related to allegations that Kline misled a Grand Jury impaneled in Johnson County in late 2007 to investigate Planned Parenthood in Overland Park. That Grand Jury ended its investigation in March 2008 without any indictments.
. . .
Stephanie Hensel, who now lives in Colorado but had served as the grand jury foreperson, filed an attorney ethics complaint against Kline because she believed Kline’s office mislead the grand jury over which statutes should be enforced in which way.
Hensel said her experience and knowledge about mandatory reporters — those who must report possible crimes of child sexual abuse — was not consistent with instructions given the jury. Read story in Kansas Watchdog

For some reason, what Ms. Hansel is saying just doesn't pass the smell test. I'd love to know what her stand on abortion is as well as her role in attempting to make an informal deal with Planned Parenthood.
Al, thanks for the comment. I have been searching the internet to find out if she is pro-choice or not, as I believe she is. She and Hazlett both should be investigated. As I stated months ago, I will follow this case to the bitter end.
Rick, Don't know if you saw this LifeNews article yet,(came across it after my last comment) but it does answer my question about her role in th PP deal:

The specific quote:
"Basically, the foreman– without input from other jurors– had negotiated a secret sweetheart deal for Planned Parenthood that blew up in her face"
This raises even more questions about her real reasons for the charges she filed. & makes me wonder even more what her REAL MOTIVES ARE. & does she have any connections to Planned Parenthood she has hidden as well?
Al, I found that out on "Kansas Watchdog." I have done several searched on Google trying to find out if she has a previous connection to the abortion industry, but have not come up with anything. I'm still searching as I think it very possible there is.
