Tennessee Freedom Circle, a newly formed nonprofit, held its first training last week to connect attorneys from a variety of practice areas and educate them on how to defend doctors on criminal abortion charges, WPLN reports. “The health care lawyers, with the expertise and regulatory compliance, will need to join with the criminal defense lawyers, who’ve been litigating in state court, who will need to join with the constitutional law experts who’ve been fighting the fights for many years in federal court,” says Nashville attorney and Freedom Circle President Tyler Yarbro. The training aims to educate attorneys on navigating affirmative defense and on how to show the doctor’s actions were justified.
