Brett Rogers will appear in Dakota County District court today in Minnesota where he will attempt to explain to the jury in the case that everyone who saw him drunkenly beating the shit out of his wife is full of BS.
You may recall that “The Grim” was picked up at his Apple Valley home and charged with multiple domestic assault-related felonies back in July after a neighbor called police after witnessing the heavy-handed former Strikeforce heavyweight using his wife’s face as a focus mitt.
According to the police report, the witness stated that he looked out his window and saw Rogers standing over top of his wife in their backyard punching her in the head repeatedly. After the attack, the neighbor says he saw the victim get up and that she was bleeding and missing a tooth. Rogers nine and 10-year-old daughters told another neightbor and officers who attended the scene that they witnessed the assault, which they said wasn’t a one-time occurrence, and their account of the attack matched the other witness’. When officers located Mrs. Rogers a short time later she denied the attack at first, but soon admitted what had happened.
Here is the account that she gave officers while being transported to a local hospital:
“Tiuana Rogers advised that she and her husband had been arguing that night. He became angry and grabbed her with both hands around her neck and squeezed. She was able to get away and went into the back yard. Her husband followed her and got her on the ground and began hitting her about her head and face, causing her to “black out.” By the time she arrived at the hospital, her ear had swollen and had a “cauliflower ear” look. Mrs. Rogers stated she did not want her husband charged with assault because she did not want to cause him trouble with his job.”
The report went on to state that Rogers’ daughters told the neighbor who was looking after them while their mother was in the hospital and their father was in jail that they were afraid to go home and that he had choked them too in the past. The day after the incident the investigating officer contacted the victim to meet with her to take photos of her injuries and was told that she would not comply with the request and that the assault was all her fault.
