In 1973, after striking two girls with a soda bottle, he was sent to the state mental hospital. After his release in 1974, Rogers’ crimes continued for more than a decade. At his 2006 sentencing trial, Rogers argued that he was changed a man after nearly two decades in prison. “There is never a day that I don’t struggle from the very core of my heart and soul over the despicable acts I’ve committed,” Rogers said.

There should have been a third choice: life without the chance of parole. In 2012, the justices said jury selection was done improperly and the judge incorrectly allowed evidence of Rogers’ gay experiences as a teenager. His new sentencing trial is expected to last three weeks. Under Oregon law, a convic- tion for aggravated murder requires a separate sentencing trial with jurors deciding whether or not to impose a death sentence. Though it is rare to have four separate sentencing trials, it’s not unprecedented. 5DQG\ /HH *X]HN ZDV Lo 49 34 41 54 38 40 49 40 41 55 41 40 37 52 50 52 40 42 43 52 36 49 45 37 51 48 43 WINDS Copyright © 2015, EO Media Group 3257/$1' $3 ² 7KUHH WLPHV 'D\WRQ /HUR\ Rogers has been sentenced to death, and three times his sentence has been overturned. Rogers, one of Oregon’s PRVW SUROL¿F VHULDO NLOOHUV returned to an Oregon City courtroom Tuesday to yet again face jurors who could send him to death row. Though that is an option, the past two governors have placed a moratorium on executions, and the state has not executed anyone since 1997. Rogers, 62, tortured and killed several women in the 1980s, binding some of them and stabbing them repeatedly. The former lawn-mower repairman, dubbed the Molalla Forest Killer because the bodies were discovered in a forest in the small town of Molalla, was known for his brutality. Rogers was convicted of six killings in 1989, and each of three juries has sentenced him to death. Rogers also was tied to the slaying of a ZRPDQ LGHQWL¿HG LQ and sentenced to life in prison for the stabbing death of a woman outside a Portland restaurant in 1987.
