Attorneys are due in court this morning for a possible decision on whether ex-Kern deputy David Keith Rogers, who killed 2 prostitutes in the 1980s, will have his penalty phase retried a second time. #RogersTrial
Rogers was convicted and sentenced to death more than 30 years ago but the state Supreme Court overturned his death penalty after determining a witness had lied. His penalty phase was retried earlier this year; a jury hung 10-2 in favor of the death penalty. #RogersTrial
If prosecutors decide not to retry the penalty phase again, Rogers will serve life without parole. #RogersTrial
Here's the last story KGET published on the Rogers case: kget.com/news/crime-wat… #RogersTrial
Rogers is present via Zoom in the courtroom of Judge John W. Lua. DA Cynthia Zimmer said she will re-try Rogers' penalty phase. #RogersTrial
Rogers recently had surgery, said Assistant Public Defender Tanya Richard, and is requesting a date about 2 months out. #RogersTrial
A trial date of Aug. 14 has been scheduled, with readiness set Aug. 7. #RogersTrial
