Rogers Stricken Court Excuses Presence in Suit
In a dramatic Supreme Court ruling Judge Haramoul excused Henry Rogers from attending a $50,000,000 case after doctors reported a July stroke. The magnate, unable to speak clearly or move facially, has not managed business since the illness and was deemed incapable of attending hearings or personal appearances. A motion to compel attendance was denied as unsafe and inhumane given his condition. The suit, involving alleged conversion of revenue tied to petroleum profits, continues with counsel arguing for competency and protection of Rogers’s rights.
