Rogers’s attorneys filed a motion asking for the state to disclose the aggravating circumstances, or evidence that it intends to rely on to seek the death penalty. A judge ordered the state must disclose it within 45 days of February 13.
The attorneys also filed a motion asking the state to disclose any mitigating circumstances, or evidence in support of Rogers getting life without parole if he is found guilty and his trial heads to the sentencing phase.
Investigators say Rogers and Legg killed seven people inside a Valhermoso Springs home after a dispute involving their motorcycle club known as ‘7 Deadly Sins.’
