KELLY G ROGERS DENIED PAROLE AGAIN

April 4, 2018. Today, former Attorney Kelly G Rogers was denied parole. This is the third year in a row Rogers was deemed not trustworthy to be released back into the public (Denial reason 11D). 

Frisco attorney Kelly Gordon Rogers was convicted of first-degree felony theft for stealing $1.3 million from investors in fraudulent oil and gas schemes.. He was sentenced to 20 years in the Texas prison system. Under Texas law, his projected release date is June of 2022.  

Rogers stole money from investors who purchased royalty interests in non-existent oil and gas drilling projects, according to officials with the Texas State Securities Board. Officials described his victims as an Oklahoma oil and gas investor, two partners in a separate Oklahoma investment company, a neighbor in Frisco, and a longtime acquaintance.

In 2007, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil injunction against a group of financial companies and promoters that included Rogers who were offering fraudulent high-yield securities offerings.

Letter to parole board from a concerned citizen about Kelly G Rogers

Pulled from a March 10th comment: 

My letter is going out today. Keep this scumbag in prison for the entire 20-year sentence. He was charged with another half dozen more crimes, which would have kept him behind bars where he belongs for the remainder of his misery-inflicting life, but these charges were traded for him not appealing his 20 year sentence. 

Absolutely disgusting not going through with the remainder of the charges. He could have been sentenced for 60 years on the single charge, but the jury didn't know how soon he was eligible for parole. What a disgusting judicial system we have, so make your voice heard. Here's most of the text from my letter, feel free to copy/modify it as desired:

"Please deny parole to the above inmate. He has scammed thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of people through the years. He was convicted of only a single charge of the several he was originally charged with committing. The remaining charges were dropped in exchange for him not appealing his conviction on the single charge, an overly generous exchange. Unfortunately, he was sentenced to only 20 years, and should have been sentenced to the 60 year maximum, not to mention standing trial and being sentenced for several more decades for the other charges. 

For both of the past two years, he was designated as an 11D offender for not being trustworthy (violation of trust; abuse of trust) while in prison. What do you think he will do if and when he gets out of prison? He is a financial parasite involved in numerous financial scams, for which he was convicted of the single count of several he was charged with, as described above. He belongs in prison for the remainder of his 20 year sentence. 

Thank you for your consideration in keeping this disbarred former attorney, AN OFFICER OF THE COURT, and repeatedly dishonest and unrepentant criminal, away from society for as long as possible. If he claims he is sorry and will change his ways, do not believe him, as he is a known and proven liar, both inside and outside of the judicial system. If you have any questions regarding any of the above information, please text, call, and/or email me as listed below."

Kelly G Rogers in Parole Review

The convicted felon, Kelly G Rogers, is entering a new phase of parole review according to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

"The parole review process begins approximately six months before the parole eligibility date for a first review and four months before the eligibility date in additional reviews. The process begins with the offender's file being reviewed for all appropriate documents, including letters of support and protest. An Institutional Parole Officer reviews the file and interviews the offender before preparing a case summary for the Board voting panel. The Board normally will vote on the case just prior to the parole eligibility date. "
