In season 9, episode 10, we see the
love story of Alesia Warrior and Darrell Rodgers who committed the
murder of Jeremy Warrior in the state of Kansas. A love story
gone twisted, that ends with Alesia Warrior being convicted by a jury
of the premeditated first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit
first degree murder and being sentenced to 50 years and Darrell
Rodgers pleading guilty and sentenced to life in prison with no
chance of parole for 20 years.
Oxygen describes the show as a couple's
scheme for money and desire doesn't turn out exactly as they had
planned.
The two committed murder via a planned "home invasion robbery" during which Alesia was shot and paralyzed from the waist down. This got old as Darrell didn't want to be a caretaker. Out of revenge for his cheating and leaving, she told the police what happened, only to recant on the stand later.
Her appeal includes:
The State's theory was that Warrior, Darell Rodgers, and Jamar Moore conspired to murder Warrior's husband, Jeremy Warrior (Jeremy). As evidence of motive, the State presented testimony regarding marital discord between Warrior and Jeremy and established that Warrior and Rodgers were having an extramarital affair. Financial gain was an additional motive; after Jeremy's death, Warrior received benefit payments in excess of $335,000 from life insurance policies she took out a few months before the murder.
The murder occurred in the predawn hours of April 23, 2005, as Warrior drove Jeremy to work. Typically, Jeremy would drive himself to work, but Warrior drove him that day. The reason for the change of routine, according to Warrior, was that Jeremy's car needed a new headlight, and she planned to take his car to a Firestone store to have the light replaced. The State cast doubt on this explanation through the testimony of the manager of the Firestone store. The manager told the jury that his store employees had broken the car's headlight when it had been in for repairs before Jeremy's death. The store had ordered a part and was planning to replace the headlight at no charge, but the part had not arrived before the day of Jeremy's murder.
