Last Thursday, Patrick Brice, a 28-year-old man, was sentenced to one year of house arrest and three years of probation after being found guilty of brutally assaulting two elderly pro-life activists.
The verdict was issued by progressive judge Yvette M. Bryant in the Baltimore City Circuit Court, and has caused strong controversy as it is considered a sentence that is far too lenient given the severity of the attack.
The incident occurred on May 26, 2023, in front of a Planned Parenthood clinic in downtown Baltimore, when Brice violently attacked Mark Crosby, 73, and Richard Schaefer, 84, who were carrying out pro-life awareness activities. The assault was captured by a security camera, showing how Brice repeatedly struck the two elderly men.

Baltimore's justice system forgot the victims for being pro-life.
As a result of the attack, Crosby suffered multiple serious injuries: a facial fracture, blindness in one eye, headache and neck pain, two fractured fingers, and multiple bruises. He currently suffers from photophobia (sensitivity to light) and must cover one eye on sunny days or in bright lights.
During the sentencing hearing, Crosby appeared with a crucifix and brought photographs of his bloodied face, as well as the blood-stained jersey he wore on the day of the attack, which had to be cut during his medical treatment.
Despite the seriousness of the events, the Democratic judge decided to acquit the assailant of the most serious charges against him such as first-degree assault. Instead, Brice was convicted of second-degree assault and reckless endangerment of others.

Justice was not served in the case.
During the sentencing hearing, the prosecution requested a 10-year prison sentence, arguing that a strong message needed to be sent against violence motivated by political or religious beliefs.
However, Judge Bryant opted for a much lighter sentence: house arrest, with permission to leave for work or medical reasons, and a prohibition on approaching abortion clinics or pro-life centers. A statement from Brice to the court claiming that he was sorry for what happened and that he "lost control" during his attack was enough to grant him the benefit of house arrest.
The victims do not believe justice was served. Crosby described Baltimore's judicial system as "criminal-friendly" and accused the judges of being biased against anti-abortion activists. Schaefer, meanwhile, promised to continue his activities regardless of the consequences. Both have returned to the Planned Parenthood clinic where they were assaulted.
