"Roe" was Norma McCorvey. "Wade" was the DA of Dallas County, Texas.

What were the consequences for the defendant in the Roe v. Wade case?

Roe v. Wade, (1973) was a civil case so there was no defendant. The nominal respondent, Henry B. Wade, was the District Attorney of Dallas County, Texas. Wade was named because of the office he occupied; the real "defendant" would have been the State of Texas, but states have immunity from being sued (per the Eleventh Amendment).The consequence of the decision was that the Texas anti-abortion law was overturned. There were no known personal consequences for Henry Wade or anyone else on the respondent side of the case.Case Citation:Roe v. Wade, 410 US 113 (1973)
