Indeed as Presiding Justice, he by statute had to approve our wiretap applications. He was always wise and practical, he moved his cases along fairly, he had no trouble making hard decisions, and he usually had a good-natured twinkle in his eye. There was a lot to admire and emulate about Joe Rodgers. I will miss him, and send my love and regards to his family. ### Print Email Tweet Previous Article | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
