Description
Governor Gavin Newsom has reversed the parole of 1980's skateboarding icon Mark "Gator" Rogowski, making it the second time that the Governor has overturned the state parole board's decision to release him.
Rogowski, once viewed as a superstar in the then-burgeoning skate scene having starred in movies, music videos, and sponsored by Vision Skateboards, was sentenced to 31 years to life in 1992 for raping and killing Jessica Bergsten.
Rogowski, known more commonly as "Gator," admitted to clubbing his ex-girlfriend's friend Bergsten with a metal anti-vehicle theft bar, then raping her before stuffing her into a surfboard bag to silence her screams.
