Rogers and John Michael Legg were both charged with six counts of capital murder after investigators say they killed seven people in Valhermoso Springs after a dispute involving their motorcycle club known as ‘7 Deadly Sins.’ The victims ranged from 17 to 45 years old.
Both Rogers and Legg have a status hearing set for June 24.

Rogers’ trial is set for August 14, 2024, however, Legg does not have a trial date at this time. It is unclear if prosecutors will seek the death penalty for Legg.
