More than eight years after Kopp gunned down an abortion provider in his home, the government will get its chance to prosecute the anti-abortion extremist already convicted of murder, with the goal of eliminating any distant chance for his release. Kopp, 52, is serving a 25-year-to-life state sentence after being found guilty of second-degree murder in the 1998 sniper slaying of Dr. Barnett Slepian in his home. (AP Photo/David Duprey, file)
