Timeline

1954

Paul Jennings Hill (February 6, 1954 – September 3, 2003) was an American, minister, religious extremist, and anti-abortion terrorist who murdered physician John Britton and Britton's bodyguard, retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel James Barrett, in 1994.

Paul Hill was born in Miami, Florida, on February 6, 1954, to Oscar Jennings Hill, an airline pilot, and his wife Louise.

He was raised in Coral Gables, Florida.

At the age of 17, Hill was charged with the assault of his father when his parents attempted to get him treatment for his drug problem.

1973

Hill said he experienced a religious conversion two years later in 1973, after being sent to a military school.

Hill later enrolled in Belhaven University, where he met his future wife, Karen Demuth, with whom he had three children.

Hill graduated from Reformed Theological Seminary, where he studied under Greg Bahnsen, a founder of the right-wing Christian Reconstructionist movement.

He attended St. Paul Presbyterian Church, which espoused theonomy, a movement related to Reconstructionism.

1984

Following his ordination in 1984, Hill became a minister affiliated with both the Presbyterian Church in America and the Orthodox Presbyterian Church.

1993

He was excommunicated in 1993 following a number of nationally televised appearances in which he claimed to be the new national spokesperson for "defensive action" against abortion providers and claimed a connection to the Army of God.

Prior to his excommunication, Hill looked towards other means to support his family.

After moving to Pensacola, Florida, he purchased a franchise for a mobile business that performed cleaning, trim repair, touch-up paint and pinstripe services for new and used car dealerships.

This offered him flexible work hours in order to pursue his anti-abortion protest activities.

However, Hill's client base substantially dwindled as more of his radical views became public.

1994

On July 29, 1994, Hill approached the Ladies Center, an abortion clinic in Pensacola.

When he spotted clinic doctor John Britton and his bodyguard, retired USAF Lieutenant Colonel James H. Barrett, outside the clinic, he fired on both of them at close range with a Mossberg Model 500A 12-gauge pump-action shotgun.

Both Britton and Barrett died; Barrett's wife, June, was also wounded.

Following the shots, Hill laid his shotgun on the ground and waited to be arrested.

Following his arrest, Hill was brought to trial in the Circuit Court of Florida for the First Circuit, charged with two counts of first-degree premeditated murder, one count of attempted first-degree murder, and one count of shooting into an occupied vehicle.

Hill moved, successfully, to be allowed to appear pro se; i.e., he represented himself.

He pleaded not guilty on all counts.

Hill's motion to use the affirmative defense of justification was denied.

According to Hill, his actions were a defensive act, rather than a retribution.

On December 6, 1994, Hill was found guilty of the charges and was sentenced to death.

Appeals to the First District Court of Appeal, 656 So.2d 1271 (Fla. 1995), and subsequently to the Florida Supreme Court, 688 So.2d 901 (Fla.1996), were unsuccessful.

Hill petitioned the Supreme Court of the United States for writ of certiorari (asking the Court to hear his appeal).

The petition was denied.

The papers were followed by three additional letters to North in October 1994.

North's responses, issued after the murders, comprised two letters that were made available to the public.

The letters rejected and refuted Hill's theological arguments, and concluded that, "...the public will regard your dual assassination as the act of a condemned man outside of God's church and acting on his own in defiance of Bible-revealed law and therefore also God's moral law."

1997

522 U.S. 907 (1997).

After losing his automatic appeals, Hill decided to waive the remainder of his appeals.

2003

Hill was sentenced to death by lethal injection and was executed on September 3, 2003.

The execution warrant for Hill was not signed until July 2003, at which time it was signed by Governor Jeb Bush.

Hill died by lethal injection in Florida State Prison on September 3, 2003, aged 49.

His last words were, "If you believe abortion is a lethal force, you should oppose the force and do what you have to do to stop it. May God help you to protect the unborn as you would want to be protected."

Hill chose Rev. Donald Spitz as his spiritual adviser during the last week of his life.

Hill was close friends with Spitz both before and after he killed John Britton and James H. Barrett.

Spitz was with Hill during the last week of his life and with Hill when he was executed.

Prior to the murders, Hill sent two position papers to Reconstructionist author Gary North, which set out Hill's views of abortion and why he considered murder of abortion care providers to be warranted.
