Dr Fisher describes coerced plea attempts and career path
Dr. Fisher testified that he was moved from jail to be questioned and pressured to plead guilty to an abortion charge to avoid or reduce a murder charge. He recalled a prosecutor’s warning that leniency offers were off and that execution could follow his decision. He detailed a peripatetic medical career across Maryland West Virginia and Virginia, including work in Harrisonburg and a move to Keyser in July to open an office after treatment as a drug addict.
