An unlicensed doctor will be sentenced Monday for his part in the deaths of two babies born alive at a West Philadelphia abortion clinic.
Steven Massof, of Pittsburgh, pleaded guilty in November to two counts of third-degree murder, murder conspiracy and other charges. The 49-year-old--who admitted to snapping the necks of at least 100 moving and breathing babies--could be sentenced to life in prison, but his plea is expected to earn him a reduced sentence.
Massof is among 10 defendants who plead guilty to charges related to the case. He allegedly graduated from a foreign medical school, but did not have a license to practice medicine.
Dr. Kermit Gosnell also was charged in connection to the deaths. The 70-year-old owned the clinic when he allegedly killed seven babies and a woman--who died following a botched abortion.
