Gene Alexzander "Alex" Scott, a 26-year-old former U.S. Army veteran from South Carolina, was sentenced to 60 years in prison on Thursday for the murders of his grandfather and great-grandmother. Prosecutors argued that the killings were financially motivated.

Scott was convicted of shooting Billy Ruth Rogers and Gene Rogers in their mobile home on Doe Street in Richburg, South Carolina, on Father’s Day 2020. The jury delivered a unanimous guilty verdict earlier this week, leading to Scott's sentencing.

During the sentencing, Scott maintained his innocence, claiming he found his relatives already dead and asserting that he had an alibi. He stated he was with a friend in Columbia, South Carolina, at the time of the murders.

"I did not kill my grandparents and I never would. One day, we will all die, and I hope there's a God so you can all ask me if I did it. And I hope you choke on that answer when he tells you I did not," Scott said. "Don’t give me leniency because it’s not going to be given away. Throw me in prison and lock away the key if that makes you all happy.”

Family members of the victims attended the hearing, wearing shirts and pins in memory of Gene and Billy Ruth Rogers.

The two-week trial included testimony from law enforcement and forensic experts. Jurors saw police body camera footage showing Scott's reaction upon discovering the bodies. Prosecutors argued that the footage depicted Scott as performing for the police, rather than genuinely reacting to the scene.

“There’s blood all over, it’s like somebody executed them,” Scott said to police in 2020. “I can’t get it out of my head, I can’t get it out of my head.” One deputy testified that Scott's behavior seemed staged, describing it as though he "was putting on a show."

Prosecutors presented evidence that Scott's motive was financial gain. They claimed he hoped to collect on his grandfather’s life insurance policy and draw from his retirement account. Scott had received $80,000 from his grandfather earlier in the year but was denied additional funds needed to start a security business.

The trial included testimony from a pathologist who detailed the victims' injuries. Both were shot in the back of the head, with Billy Ruth Rogers also sustaining a graze wound on her hand. Investigators challenged Scott’s account of discovering the bodies, pointing out inconsistencies with the layout of the mobile home.

After a year-long investigation, Scott was arrested in Germany, where he was serving in the U.S. Army. He had previously served as an ammunition technician in the U.S. Marine Corps.

Scott’s attorney announced plans to appeal the verdict, seeking a new trial.

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke discusses the serious allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs. Despite Diddy’s complete denial and disparaging comments about the victims, a video surfaced showing him assaulting Cassie in a hotel, which aligns with her civil suit details. Dreeke explains that this video not only corroborates Cassie's testimony but also lends credibility to other victims' claims. Diddy’s subsequent public apology, where he admits his behavior but focuses on his own suffering rather than the victims, is seen as self-serving. Dreeke suggests that Diddy’s response reveals his narcissistic tendencies, as he fails to show genuine remorse or empathy for the victims. The discussion highlights the challenge of dealing with powerful individuals who manipulate and intimidate their way out of accountability. Dreeke emphasizes that Diddy's public admission, though likely unintended, could be a significant blow to his defense, as it implicitly validates other allegations against him.

Main Points
- Serious allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs include sexual assault and abuse.
- Diddy denies the allegations and insults the victims.
- A video showing Diddy assaulting Cassie corroborates her civil suit.
- Diddy’s public apology focuses on his suffering rather than the victims’.
- Dreeke highlights Diddy's narcissistic tendencies and lack of genuine remorse.
- The video admission inadvertently supports other victims' claims.
- Power dynamics and manipulation have helped Diddy avoid accountability.
