Anonymous Commenter on Kelly G Rgoers Reports;

"Just one more example of the ridiculous system currently in place.

Why would the State Bar of Texas not temporarily suspend Rogers' license to practice law? More victims due to the inability of The State of Texas to take any action.

I have one correction, Rogers' faces 5 to 99 on the 1st Degree Felony charges. The District Attorney's Office can file a "Motion to Stack" or run the sentences consecutive as opposed to concurrent. Rogers', believe it or not,  is eligible for probation--unfortunately.

Finally, Rogers' is aware that trying these cases in State Court is very very costly, timely and not something that STATE COURT generally does. These types of cases are usually tried by the Government.

If Rogers' makes a deal to plead, I suspect it would be 25 years and everything would run concurrently. However, at that point victims could make "impact statements" and protest his release to parole; of which I believe Rogers' would be eligible for Parole after 2 years or something like that.

Rogers' knows ALL of this and so does his lawyer who often tries these types of cases in Federal Court. The Collin County District Attorney's Office needs to only accept a plea of 50 years and our friend will spend his TDCJ time in a very rough place".

Kelly G Rogers an Embarressment to Fred Sewell (Father-in-law)

Two week ago tomorrow, four squad cars pulled up to Kelly G Rogers' rented home to serve him with five new indictments. He was arrested, processed, jailed and released. 

As storm clouds gathered outside their Frisco home, the rumor mill was abuzz with stories about how the "Wife", Carrie Sewell Rogers, had pitched a fit as the arrest went down. 

Why? Was this arrest a surprise her? Is she in total denial about her husband?

Or was it just an embarrassment to her father, Fred Sewell, who by all accounts is an outstanding man. Think about this bit of irony. 

Since the Bank foreclosed on the Kelly G Rogers home at 8 Riva Ridge, the Rogers were forced to find a rental. Naturally, they chose to locate within the same neighborhood. It's a snapshot to how they think; this neighborhood contains big homes, big money people and big status for those who live there.

If you knew the Rogers, you know exactly what they're all about--STATUS.

So get this;

• M. Jay Allison, CEO of Comstock, is the neighbor to Kelly G Rogers and Carrie rental home.
• Carrie Rogers father is Fred Sewell, a respected and accomplished oil and gas consultant. 
• On May 9th, five days after Rogers' arrest, Comstock issued this press release;

"Comstock also announced that Frederic D. Sewell was elected to the Board of Directors at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders which was held yesterday.  Mr. Sewell has over 50 years of experience as a petroleum engineer and is best known as the co-founder and former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Netherland, Sewell and Associates, Inc., a worldwide oil and gas consulting firm until his retirement in 2008.

"We congratulate Mark, Gary and Blaine on their promotions and welcome Russell to our executive management team", commented M. Jay Allison, Comstock's Chief Executive Officer.  "We are also excited to have Fred Sewell, an icon of our industry, join our board of directors."

By the way Jay, your new board members' son-in-law was just busted for oil and gas fraud!

With more charges possibly looming in the future against Kelly G Rogers, neighbors in this quiet Frisco subdivision might want to run background checks before renting anymore homes.

You never know who might show up next door.

Law360: Atty Charged With Swiping $3M From Oil Scheme Investors

Law360, New York (May 14, 2012, 9:50 PM ET) -- A Dallas-area attorney (Kelly G Rogers) has been indicted for allegedly stealing $2.8 million from investors in his oil and gas scheme and for failing to tell them he had been the target of suits accusing him of federal and state securities violations.

In a grand jury indictment filed May 1 in state court, Kelly G Rogers, of Frisco, Texas, is charged with theft, money laundering and securities fraud in connection with the investment shares in Falcon Energy LLC he sold to investors between August 2007 and October 2011.

Kelly G Rogers used the funds — which include a $950,000 investment from Oklahoma City-based oil land leasing company Basin Management Group Inc. — for other purposes and disposed of the money “in a manner that made recovery of said property by said owners unlikely,” according to the indictment.

He never told investors that he had been sued in February 2007 in Texas for alleged violations of federal and state securities laws, fraud, and breach of fiduciary duty in connection with his sales of investments in a Louisiana oil and gas venture, the indictment says.

Prosecutors say Kelly G Rogers also failed to disclose that he was one of the defendants named in a July 2007 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission suit against Global Finance and Investments Inc. over a $9.9 million Ponzi scheme that preyed upon over 100 investors nationwide.

Kelly G Rogers was one of the alleged facilitators of Global Finance company head Charles Davis, according to the SEC. According to the suit, he created similar investment offerings and passed funds on to Davis.

Kelly G Rogers also solicited investors through Level Par Investments LLC, claiming to do trade in bank debentures, the government alleged.

Shortly after the suit was filed, Kelly G Rogers settled with the SEC by agreeing to disgorgement of $100,000 and a civil penalty of $50,000. He was also enjoined from future violations of federal securities law.

Representatives for prosecutors and for Kelly G Rogers could not immediately be reached for comment Monday.

Counsel information for Kelly G Rogers was not immediately available.

The case is Texas v. Rogers, case number 380-81033-2012, in the 219th District Court for Collin County, Texas.

Kelly G Rogers--The Indictments

From the Texas State Securities Board Bulletin: Now Accused of Oil and Gas Fraud, Attorney's Long List of Legal Woes Gets Longer .

Kelly G Rogers, a Frisco attorney, was indicted May 1 for stealing $2.8 million from investors in two separate oil and gas schemes.

Besides two counts of aggregated theft, Kelly G Rogers was charged with two counts of money laundering and one count of securities fraud.

The State Securities Board investigated Rogers and Dale Barron, an enforcement attorney for the agency, is serving as a special prosecutor for Collin County in the case. Kelly G Rogers has left a trail of lawsuits from prior business dealings, but according to the indictment he disclosed none of them to his investors, as required by law.

Among the non-disclosures: a 2007 lawsuit by the SEC that resulted in a $153,000 settlement; a Dallas County state district court suit alleging he violated federal and state securities laws in connection with the sale of oil and gas interests in Louisiana; a 2009 Bankruptcy Court filing in which he listed debts of $2 million; and previous misappropriation of funds from investors in one of his ventures, Falcon Energy LLC.

Kelly G Rogers is also scheduled for trial in Collin County state district court in June on an earlier indictment; the charge is misapplication of fiduciary property in yet another energy venture. Barron will also be the special prosecutor in that case.

Here's a nice little summary in the Courthouse News Service.

State v Kelly G. Rogers Delayed for TENTH time!

Is this getting old or what?

For the TENTH TIME IN A ROW, since July of 2009, Judge Suzanne Wooten has allowed Kelly G Rogers and his lawyer-John Charles Hardin to delay his trial.

The new trial date (Yea, Right) is February 20th, 2012. You got it, almost SIX years after the $435,000 had disappeared from the corporate coffers, another trial date is on file and pending.  

In State of Texas v Kelly G Rogers, the State is claiming that Kelly Gordon Rogers removed $435,000 from an oil and gas company in 2006.

Fast forward to 2011 and he's still wheeling and dealing in the Oil and Gas business. In a previous story, it was disclosed by the State of Nevada that Rogers reactivated Falcon Ten Energy, LLC., to presumable conduct more oil and gas deals.

Good Grief Judge Suzanne Wooten.

Kelly G Rogers Trial--NO MORE CONTINUANCES

Five Reasons why Judge Suzanne Wooten SHOULD NOT GRANT another continuance to Kelly G. Rogers--Frisco Lawyer.

We're coming up on the moment of truth for Kelly G Rogers, Frisco Lawyer. Less that TWO weeks until he stands trial after he was indicted in July of 2009. Here we are--some TWO years later and we're still not assured of a trial.

While we fully expect Kelly Rogers--Dallas Lawyer--to request ANOTHER continuance, we at the Kelly Rogers Report have FIVE REASONS why we are begging Judge Suzanne Wooten to stand firm and move the trial forward as scheduled.

Eight Trial Dates Have Come and Gone: How much time does someone need to prepare for trial? Yet, the court has passed trial dates on EIGHT different occasions: October 29th, 20009, December 3rd, 2009, January 15th, 2010, March 19, 2010, May 25th, 2010, July 14th, 2010, November 3rd, 2010 and April 13th, 2011. Frankly, we're questioning the competency of the Collin County DA's office here. So let's keep this date...

Justice Needs to be Served: Many who read this blog each week have one thing on their mind--watching justice served to Kelly G Rogers--Frisco lawyer. Many have lost everything as a result of investing with this guy. He's as slippery as a bloated codfish and seems to lye his way out of everything. It's never his fault. Well, this time it is his fault and we need to see him served.

Kelly G Rogers Needs to do some Jail time: It's not clear what the sentence is for a first degree Felony for Misapplication of funds. However, it's important that Kelly G Rogers be humbled by serving time and being labeled a convicted felon. Maybe then he will be humbled...although it's doubtful. Until he serves jail time, he will continue to be a "Get-Rich-Quick-Schemer" that is always looking at how to make a fast buck--regardless of who he hurts or what rules he breaks. No remorse. No fair play. No team of advisers. Just complete and unadulterated arrogance.

Kelly G Rogers needs to be Disbarred: Lawyer. It's a title he flashes around like a "Get out of Jail Free" card. It gives him the self promotion and credibility he needs to scam people into thinking he's someone special. They're impressed, they invest, Rogers moves the money somewhere other than where it should be, the investor sues and Rogers represents himself at nominal costs. However, the investors are forced to pay an outside Lawyer $150-$250 per hour to find their money. If Rogers is convicted of a felony and disbarred, he'll then need to come up with his own money to defend all these lawsuits. It would level the playing field and safeguard the public by taking away his title and ability to bully his opponents and manipulate the legal system.

Need to put an End to this Case and Move on: We've all been watching the development of this of this case since 2009. However, many have been praying for justice since 2006 when Kelly Rogers Frisco Lawyer decided to raise money, start companies and invest in Ponzi schemes. Now we need to see this come to any end--by convicting the scoundrel--and allowing us to move on with our lives. It's been a sad, pathetic and very costly five years for many. While most have put all this in the  past, some need to see this last chapter close. Like the Harry Potter story, a bitter sweet ending to journey that was exciting for a few days before smashing our dreams on the rocks of disappointment, despair, shame and anguish.

So Judge Suzanne Wooten, we beg that you REJECT ANY and ALL attempts by Kelly Rogers to gain a continuance on this trial.

How do we know he'll ask for an extension?

He's Kelly Rogers--Frisco Lawyer....so why would you expect anything different?

Casey Anthony get 4 years for Lying

By Amy Pavuk and Anthony Colarossi, Orlando Sentinel

11:01 a.m. EDT, July 7, 2011.  

Casey Anthony will be released from the Orange County Jail on July 13.  Chief Judge Belvin Perry sentenced Casey Anthony this morning for lying to police, giving her four years in jail and credit for the time she's already served since 2008.

Considering how much time she's already served, court officials have calculated that she will be released from the Orange County Jail July 13. The sentence also includes four, $1,000 fines for each of the four counts of lying to police.

The sentence is the maximum Perry could impose under the jury's decision.

But unhappy Anthony opponents still gathered outside the courthouse to express their displeasure about her acquittal Tuesday on a charge of first-degree murder in connection to her daughter's death.

"I feel she got away with murder and it really irritates me," said Donna Marini, an Altamonte Springs woman who attended most of the trial proceedings.

Nearby her, though, Casey Anthony supporters chanted for her release. One many stood with a sign asking "Casey will you marry me?"

"I would date her," said the sign's holder Tim Allen. "Everyone deserves a second chance."

Inside the courtroom, Anthony showed no reaction while Perry discussed her lies and imposed his sentence.

Earlier, she arrived in Perry's courtroom appearing relaxed and happy.

All of Anthony's lies

Anthony, who normally wears her long hair in a bun on top of her head, wore her hair down in court today. She huddled with her attorneys, Cheney Mason and Dorothy Clay Sims, while smiling and stroking her hair before the hearing began.

Her smiles disappeared though after she learned Judge Perry's sentence.

Perry disagreed with Lisabeth Fryer, one of Anthony's attorneys, who argued that Anthony's four convictions for lying to police should be consolidated into one count.

That's because all the lies were told in one conversation, Fryer said.

Fryer noted that the concept of "double jeopardy" should be applied. She wanted Perry to sentence Casey on one charge because the false statements Anthony gave law enforcement stem from a single incident on July 16, 2008.

She also noted case law to support her argument.

Assistant State Attorney Linda Drane Burdick disagreed, saying "It is our position that there is a temporal break between the lies.

Burdick says Casey's lies were intended to lead law enforcement "on a wild goose chase."

She says she did have time to pause and reflect about these mistruths and they did not occur in one single instance.

Perry agreed with Burdick that Casey's guilty verdicts represented "four separate and distinct lies" that led law enforcement on months-long search for her daughter Caylee, forcing them to spend "a great deal of time, energy and man power looking" for the child."

Just as the jury spoke loud and clear about finding Casey not guilty of the most serious charges against her, including the murder of her child, Perry said, "the jury spoke loud and clear as to the remaining counts, four, five, six and seven."

Hearing on costs set for Aug. 25

Earlier, Burdick let Perry know about the state's interest in collecting investigative costs from Anthony related to the search for Caylee Marie in 2008.

A hearing on that issue was set for Aug. 25.

Perry also told Anthony that she has a right to appeal his sentence for her lying convictions. Perry said the defense has 30 days to appeal.

Perry says if she does not file timely notice of appeal, she forfeits her ability to appeal.

Court is in recess right now as officials calculate the amount of credit she should receive for time she's already served in jail. That will determine how long she will be held at the Orange County Jail.

Outside the courthouse

Meanwhile, protestors upset with Anthony's acquittal on more serious charges, including murder, are chanting outside the courthouse. Some spectators also expressed support for Anthony, including one man who wants to marry the single woman.

A minority of protesters outside the courthouse shouted: "Free Casey!"

Earlier, at least two deputies were seen at the Orange County Courthouse carrying gas masks in anticipation of a strong reaction following this morning's sentencing.

Other officers are patrolling on horses.

Public outrage has been building since Anthony was acquitted Tuesday of first-degree murder and other serious charges in connection with her daughter's death in 2008.

Crowds gathered around two designated free-speech zone, where several people stood with home-made posters and signs. Several of those expressed disproval of Casey Anthony's verdict.

One poster had a picture of Anthony with silver duct tape over her mouth. One man was wearing duct tape over his own mouth. Other signs were directed at Caylee, such as one that said "We love you."

Other spectators gathered to photograph and videotape the crowd.

Patti Lockwood of Orlando, who said she's followed the Anthony case since day one, stood nearby and watched the crowd.

"I'm down here to see what kind of time she's going to get," Lockwood said of Anthony's sentencing.

Calls to theOrange County Sheriff's Office about its preparations have not been immediately returned.

'I don't feel like justice was served'

About 50 people gathered peacefully outside the courthouse this morning for today's milestone moment.

The scene outside the courthouse this morning seemed relatively normal -- spectators who were lucky enough to get tickets Wednesday lined up as they have for weeks.

Debbie Calderon and her daughter Kristelle Calderon of Ocoee were numbers 23 and 24 in the line.

They have been to the courthouse a few times before -- Kristelle, who wants to be a prosecutor, was hoping to get a glimpse of Nancy Grace.

The mother and daughter watched the trial regularly.

"She's guilty," Debbie Calderon said. "I don't feel like justice was served."

 

Kelly G Rogers--total disrespect for the rule of law

What does Barack Obama and Kelly G Rogers have in common? OK, OK, stop laughing for a moment because we want to make a serious point here.

Both think they are the "Chosen one"? No. Both think they're the Messiah? No. Both have been indicted by a grand jury? No, not yet. Give up?

The answer, based on the evidence we've managed to accumulate; both share a total disrespect for the rule of law! I think you could call it arrogance.

Arrogance is the attitude that the rules don't apply to you, just everyone else. Arrogant people like Obama and Rogers seem to take advantage of every situation. They know the law, therefore, know where it starts and stops--and know the gray areas. They walk right up to the line, urinate on it and continue right over it because the law only applies to the "Little People" and not to them.

Similar to the Pirates of the Caribbean whereby the "code" was more like a guideline that a hard-fast rule. Same attitude with these two. As a matter of fact, the American people and those who know Kelly G Rogers of Frisco, TX know exactly what I'm talking about. These two will simply not be bothered by these petty rules.

To illustrate the point, just take a look at the attached page outlining the infractions of Kelly G Rogers of Dallas. Located on the Collin County site, this recap is just dandy. Once you enter Kelly Roger and hit enter, an entire page of violations and lawsuits appear. I counted,  20 entries credited to his arrogance. How many do you count? And how many do you have? I'll bet its no where near 20? Why so many? Arrogance.

Go ahead, put the names of some friends in and see if they come up. I entered a few names I know and the most I could find was ONE --and that was another lawyer here in Dallas. But TWENTY?

Total disrespect for the rule of law. And as such, its not hard to understand why so many stood up and cheered when the Rogers lost their home to foreclosure and were forced to move. A small amount of payback for the time being. Happy New Year.
