[learn_more caption=”The F.B.I. Files: Deadly Stranger (2001)” state=”open”]

Terrific episode of  ‘The FBI Files‘ that examines the case of American serial killer, Glen Edward Rogers, also known as “The Cross Country Killer” or “The Casanova Killer,” who was convicted of a series of murders and arsons throughout the United States that began in 1995…

“Rogers was scheduled to be put to death on Valentine’s Day, 1999, in Florida, but he immediately appealed to the Florida Supreme Court claiming that the State had not presented enough evidence to support the charges. Rogers also argued that the trial court should have granted the defense’s motions for a mistrial because a witness was allowed to testify about a misdemeanor for which Rogers was convicted in California; the prosecution was also allowed to present an improper argument during closing arguments. His appeal was delayed until March, 2001, and was ultimately denied. In April 2005, Rogers filed another appeal, which is still pending. Should his death sentence ever be overturned based on a charge of prosecutorial misconduct, he will no longer be eligible for execution in the State of California”… Wikipedia
