Rogers’ girlfriend, Katelyn McGraw, 23, is seen on a motion-activated camera in Rogers' apartment positioned near Jones’ feet, and suddenly places money on the floor. Witnesses testified that McGraw told Rogers she pulled the money from his friend’s boot. The alleged theft of cash wasn’t recorded.

Witnesses testified that Rogers went with his girlfriend to Illinois for the birth of their daughter. Hamad said she had two children taken from her previously because of drug problems. But this was Rogers' first child, and she was the greatest joy in his life, Hamad said. Child welfare workers in Illinois then took the baby away.

So when Rogers' money was found in his best friend's boot, "he was devastated," Hamad said. "(Rogers felt) 'first my baby is taken and now this.' Everything is being taken."

Jones Sr. said said during a break in the trial on Tuesday that he doesn’t know if his son stole the money. McGraw is not seen on camera taking Jones Jr.’s boot off and pulling the money out, his father said.

“I don’t really trust drug people. They have a habit of lying,” he told The Journal Times. “Even if he took the $100, are you telling me Andrew’s life was only worth $100?”
