State seeks reversal in furloughed inmate wrongful death suit
The South Carolina Supreme Court weighs whether the Parole and Corrections departments bear responsibility for the 1985 death of Doris Rogers, killed by furloughed inmate Robert Vandroff after prior robberies. Rogers’ son Bobby L. Rogers sued for wrongful death, arguing failure to warn about release and supervise the inmate. The 1993 Dillon County jury awarded $600,000 to the plaintiff.
