The former rural Nortonville associate of an abortion doctor who was murdered in 2009 will file an appeal after having her license stripped by the Kansas Board of Healing Arts.
Dr. Ann K. Neuhaus had her medical license stripped by the board at a hearing on June 22.
Neuhaus was found guilty by the board of providing rubber stamp approvals for late term abortions to the late Dr. George Tiller.
Neuhaus’ attorney, Kelly J. Kauffman of Topeka, said her client had until Aug. 3 to file the appeal.
Kauffman says an appeal should be filed sometime this week in Shawnee County District Court.
Neuhaus also is fighting a more than 92 thousand dollar bill from the board for all of the proceedings against her.
The bill contains administrative and attorney costs for the board and the judge who presided over the hearings and ultimately rendered an opinion to strip Neuhaus of her license.
The bill also contains more than 48 thousand dollars in expenses for Georgetown professor Dr. Liza H. Gold, who was the prosecution’s star witness.
The original complaint filed with the board was against Tiller.
However, after his death the petitioners, Operation Rescue, turned their attention on Neuhaus.
One of the complaining parties, Cheryl Sullenger, has been convicted in Federal Court for attempting to blow up an abortion clinic in California.
According to Kansas Statute anyone can file a complaint against a doctor even if that person was never a patient or had not even met the person.
The hearings lasted more than five days.
Neuhaus said after the hearings that the proceedings were more biased than what she expected.
Neuhaus’ husband, Mike Caddell, said recently that testimony and witnesses of his wife’s were not considered or heard during the hearing.
