Charge against Rogers upgraded to murder

After the Timothy Phillips autopsy, the Oconee Sheriff’s Office announced an upgrade to murder in its charge against Marshall Lee Rogers. Phillips was found last summer with head injuries near Seneca, and investigators learned from medical personnel that he had been shot. He survived several months, but died last week at a long-term care facility. According to the Sheriff’s Office, the autopsy last Friday confirmed that Phillips died of complications due to the injuries he sustained July 10.
