Caleb Rogers carried out the other two heists alone, prosecutors said. Josiah Rogers said he participated only in that robbery. The case went to the jury Thursday shortly after Rogers’ younger brother testified against him for more than three hours, painting a clear picture for the jurors of how the two successfully pulled off the first heist in the series. The department said it had no comment on Rogers’ conviction. A spokesperson for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said after the verdict that Rogers’ future at the department “will be determined at the conclusion” of an internal investigation. Rogers, who was employed as an active-duty patrol officer at the time of the heists, has been on unpaid leave without police powers since his arrest. Richard Pocker told AP they planned to appeal the conviction. Seated next to his attorney, Rogers showed no emotion as the verdict was read in the courtroom.
“It took all of the evidence and all of the testimony from everybody to come to this conclusion.” “Everything kind of added up,” Dickerson said outside the courthouse. Jurors used common sense to decide the case, Lloyd Dickerson, one of the 12, told The Associated Press.
