Alleged shooting victim may not be dead
In Addison County Vermont a 1971 murder case against Robert Goshen takes a strange turn as defense argues the victim Ronald Rodgers may still be alive or a killer. Autopsy reportedly found Rodgers without a spleen but the defense claims he could have staged his death and cites a prior elaborate plan to disappear. Prosecutors say Goshen killed Rodgers to avoid implicating him in a grocery store hold-up. Rodgers was to face an armed robbery trial days later.
