I’m pleased to advise that on Wednesday, March 11, a Natchitoches Parish Grand Jury cleared my client Johnathan Rogers of the offenses of Manslaughter and Aggravated Second Degree Battery. In 2018 an earlier Grand Jury indicted Mr. Rogers for those offenses and the action of the Grand Jury on Wednesday effectively dismisses those charges.

I have been involved in this case for more than five (5) years and have always felt strongly that my client acted in self-defense and should never have been arrested or charged with any criminal offenses. Clearly the action of the Grand Jury on Wednesday vindicates my opinion in that regard. Mr. Rogers has been free on bail throughout these proceedings.

The court minutes of March 11 showing No True Bills are attached.
