Quick Glance: Roger Rogerson - From Corrupt Cop to Criminal
- Roger Rogerson, who died at the age of 83, was a corrupt police officer who failed to adapt to changing times.
- When Rogerson joined the police in 1958 at 17, it was highly unlikely he intended to go rogue.
- While Roger didn’t join with corrupt intentions, he enthusiastically embraced the deteriorating culture.
- In 1981, Neddy Smith arranged a meeting between Rogerson and drug dealer Warren Lanfranchi, where Lanfranchi took $10,000 bribe money.

Quick Glance: Sam Bankman-Fried Avoids Second Trial
- U.S. prosecutors do not plan to conduct a second trial against former FTX Chief Executive Sam Bankman-Fried, who was convicted last month of stealing from customers of his now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange.
- Prosecutors said the strong public interest in a prompt resolution of the case against the 31-year-old former billionaire outweighed the benefits of a second trial.
- Bankman-Fried could face decades in prison when sentenced by U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan.
- A second trial would not affect how much time Bankman-Fried could face in prison, as Kaplan could consider all of Bankman-Fried's conduct when sentencing him for the counts on which he was convicted.
