Michigan Man Who Shot 84-Year-Old Pro-Life Activist Sentenced to Community Service

Richard Harvey, 75, has been sentenced to 100 hours of community service after pleading no contest to shooting 84-year-old Joan Jacobson while she was advocating against abortion.

Jacobson knocked on Harvey's door to ask the woman living there to vote against a proposition to make abortion up to 24 weeks a constitutional right.

Harvey says the shooting was accidental, but Jacobson claims an argument instigated the shooting.

"I no sooner saw the man when I heard the shot, and I felt pain," Jacobson said. "I was so stunned. He didn’t say anything to me, she didn’t say anything to me, I didn’t say anything to them."

An accident, or an accident he got caught?
