At one point, Jimmy father's could no longer work and Jimmy, the grandparents, his brother and Jimmy's father all moved back in together, Jackie Lee Rodgers Jr. said.

I realize that.

He's a monster, but it still broke my heart to see his face when his brother said that.

I have heard so many of these horror childhood stories when I worked for Social Services...its gut wrenching

Same here. He’s an adult and knew better. They were HIS choices, but holy crap. The little boy he once was must’ve been absolutely shattered.

His dad died in the Phillipines while visiting a woman he had met and was romantically involved with. Jackie Rodgers left the service on family hardship to raise his younger brother who was 16 or so. #trialtweets #TeresaSievers #NBC2CourtCoverage #JimmyRodgersontrial

For several years, Rodgers explains their father, aunt, and grandparents all lived together for several years after the grandparents lost their home. #trialtweets #TeresaSievers #NBC2CourtCoverage #JimmyRodgersontrial

My goodness!! His brother breaks my heart. JRR is a menace to society and shouldn’t be cut slack, but I feel for him in his upbringing.

 

[Curious Me]

I can only catch so much, so thank you for the texts updates.
Their father went back to work as the brother was in Iraq. Father had gotten involved with a woman from the Philippines. Father died. Brother got a Family Hardship to care for Jimmy. Brother did what he could at 22 yrs. old, but he had emotional struggles too.

Brother crying now. He didn't know Jimmy needed more. Jimmy was far behind in school, special ed classes, bullied some and picked on.

The defense is still representing him so this is their strategy to paint a horror filled childhood for sentencing relief... its sad but JRR knows right from wrong....

Jimmy Rodgers was developmentally behind, which led to him being picked on and he got into fights because of that, Jackie Lee Rodgers Jr. said.

Throughout school he was in special education classed because he was behind.

The idea was after high school, Jimmy Rodgers would join the military to help straighten him out, Jackie Lee Rodgers Jr. said.

Rodgers' had too many issues then became a convicted felon.

Jackie Lee Rodgers Jr. is talking about Jimmy's possession of a firearm offense.

This was the offense that landed him in federal prison where he met Curtis Wayne Wright Jr., I believe.

The guns belonged to Jimmy Rodgers' deceased father. Jimmy's house was raided and he was charged with felon in possession of firearm, Jackie Lee Rodgers Jr. said.

 

[Curious Me]

Jimmy did graduate from high school which is amazing considering all his limitations and problems.

Guns in house were deceased father's. The house raided and Jimmy got a felony possession fire arm charge.

Brother says Jimmy gullible and believes what people say and wants to believe the best in them.

"He often believes what people see and takes it at face value," Jackie Lee Rodgers Jr. said of his brother.

He accepted the deal of murdering a defenseless woman for $10k. So, he isn't that developmentally arrested.

He was able to pass a written driver's exam. Wasn't he? He was able to pass a road test. Wasn't he? He was able to live independently. Wasn't he?

He was "smart" enough to discard and/or destroy incriminating evidence. Wasn't he?

Anyone who will chuckle at murdering a small woman with a hammer is more than developmentally slow. He has something seriously wrong with him and should not be out in society because he apparently doesn't know how to control himself.

Need I go on?

I hope that he gets LWOP.

Jackie Lee Rodgers Jr. said he sees Jimmy Rodgers' occasionally, such as on her birthday.

 

[Gardenista]

Info from JRRs bro makes me think he should never, ever be allowed in the public again.
