About this Article

Testifying at the trial of his ex-wife, Rick Rogers testified Thursday that he jumped the man who attacked his wife and wrestled him to the floor of the bedroom in the early morning hours of May 18, 2003. Rogers said he stared directly into the eyes of his daughter's boyfriend, 17-year-old Jonathon McMeekin. “I knew one (of the attackers) was Jon McMeekin,” he said. “I saw him face-to-face after I had taken him down to the floor.”
