Vermont Woman Hanged After Clemency Bid Fails
Mary Rogers, convicted of murdering her husband Marcus Stegers in Bennington, was hanged at Vermont State Prison Windsor at 1:19 p.m. after Governor Bell refused clemency. Detained witnesses included deputies, guards, and a few reporters as Rogers faced the scaffold in a black gown. The execution followed a long legal struggle and renewed petitions from Ohio backers and lawyers arguing insanity and new evidence.
