Murder Trial Delayed For Molino Mom Claiming Self Defense
June 11, 2014
A Molino woman that claimed she shot her husband in self defense appeared in court Tuesday for a hearing.
The second degree murder trial of 44-year old Rebecca A. Rogers was set to begin in about two weeks, but Tuesday Circuit Judge Linda Nobles delayed jury selection to begin in mid-August.
Rogers has entered a not guilty plea to the charges against her. She remains free on a $300,000 bond posted in late September.
She allegedly shot her husband, 42-year old Jason Lee Rogers, in the head last August at the couple’s home in the in the 3400 block of Highway 29 near Mathison Road. He died about two days later.
The shooting was domestic violence related, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. Rebecca Rogers called 911 to say that her husband choked her and she shot him, according to an arrest report. Deputies arrived to find Rebecca Rogers standing outside the home. They found Jason Rogers lying unconscious in the back bedroom of the home on his stomach with what appeared to be a gunshot to his head. According to the report, he also suffered two other gunshot wounds to the back.
The couple had four daughters together.

No jail for her. In fact, it is sad that she is now being abused by the system that should have protected her. I agree with the Molino Mom-if you have never lived in an abusive relationship you have no idea how frightening it is on a daily basis. You flinch if there’s an accidental touch and remain in a constant state of anxiety wondering when the next physical abuse incident will begin. Pray that this woman and her children will find some peace and happiness in the future.
All Those Fines, on Top of TIME,You R N My PrayERS…
If you have not lived in a abusive situation you do not understand what it does to you. You get to the point where it does not matter anymore what happens to you, just get out of the situation. This lady had 4 children, 2 with issues that needed a lot ot attention, she probably knew she could not make it on her own, and it came to this.
I hope justice is done and if this woman was abused and possibly the children. she should be allowed to raise her children in peace.
I hope justice is served.
GO TO JAIL .NOT PASS GO
Let this woman go, don’t waste taxpayer money, even his own children say she was justified in shooting him.
