PICKENS – The state will rest its case against Howard’s Rock vandalism defendant Micah Rogers when both sides and the jury returns from a lunch break this afternoon.
The state presented its case early Wednesday morning, calling Clemson University Police Department lead investigator Capt. Brad Rhodes to the stand, continued with SLED agent Michael Sloan and ended with eyewitness Xavia Winn. Judge James Barber of the fifth judicial circuit is presiding.
If Rogers is convicted, it might be Winn’s testimony that swung the pendulum, and TigerNet was on hand to cover the proceedings.
Rogers, 20, of Pisgah Forest (NC) has been charged with grand larceny and malicious injury to property valued at more than $10,000 for vandalizing Clemson’s Howard’s Rock.
