Cases Postponed For Three In Two North Escambia Murder Cases

February 20, 2014

Three defendants in two unrelated North Escambia murder cases were scheduled to appear in court Wednesday, but both  cases were continued to later dates.

Brent Lambeth previously pleaded no contest to second degree murder in the November 2012 shooting death of a Davisville lottery store owner.  Under his plea deal, he will receive no more than 30 years in prison in exchange for his testimony against Malcolm McGhee, previously sentenced to life in prison, and Michael Brad Orso. Lambeth’s sentencing was postponed until late March.

Orso was also due in court Wednesday for a docket hearing prior to his jury trial. But his case was reset for a docket hearing in mid-April and a jury trial in late April. Orso has pleaded not guilty to the first degree premeditated murder charge against him in connection with the lottery store murder.

Rebecca A. Rogers was also due for a court hearing on Wednesday. She allegedly shot her husband, 42-year old Jason Lee Rogers, in the head last August at the couple’s home in the 3400 block of Highway 29 near Mathison Road. He died about two days later.  Rogers, who is claiming the shooting was self defense, is now due back in court in mid-April with her jury trial currently set for late April.
