Re: **The Molalla Forest Killer**
Thought I would post this info... and his picture... gives updated information. I can't believe this bastard is still alive. 40 years of trials Dayton Leroy Rogers has spent the past four decades in and out of courtrooms, including three jury trials to determine his sentence in the Molalla forest murders. 1972: Pleads guilty, at age 18, to second-degree assault in Lane County Circuit Court for telling a 15-year-old Eugene girl to close her eyes, then plunging a knife into her belly. 1973: Found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect after striking two Lane County girls with a soft-drink bottle. Released from the Oregon State Hospital in 1974. 1976: Acquitted in May of first-degree rape in Clackamas County. Acquitted in August on a new rape charge in Marion County; convicted in the Marion County case of coercion after hogtying two teenage hitchhikers in the back of his car. 1988: Convicted in Clackamas County and later sentenced to life in prison for the torture and stabbing death of Jennifer Lisa Smith of Portland outside an Oak Grove restaurant. 1989: Convicted and sentenced to death in Clackamas County Circuit Court for killing six women in what were known as the Molalla forest murders. 1992: Wins a second penalty trial when the Oregon Supreme Court overturns his death sentence, based on a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that said defendants in capital cases can offer evidence that might persuade the jury to sentence them to prison rather than death. 1994: Sentenced a second time to death for the Molalla forest murders. 2000: Wins a third penalty trial in Clackamas County when the Oregon Supreme Court overturns his 1994 death sentence, saying that the judge should have let the jury consider sentencing him to life without the possibility of parole, an option that did not exist in his first trial. 2006: A third Clackamas County jury sentences Rogers to death. 2012: Oregon State Supreme Court vacates Rogers' death sentence and orders a fourth sentencing trial in Clackamas County Circuit Court. – Oregonian staff Article says his last sentencing trial cost taxpayers almost a half million dollars. Unfuckingbelieveable that this kind of shit is permitted to happen. This guy should have been fried back when convicted.
