Sandra Rogers

About this Article

A teenage girl’s writings that she wanted her father dead can be used in court to prove her mother was not involved in the attack on the man nearly a decade ago. Lake County Judge John Phillips said defense attorneys for Sandra D. Rogers, 56, are allowed to introduce two poems written in a journal by her then-14-year-old daughter that clearly state she wanted to see Rick Rogers dead. The trial is set to begin Jan. 28.
