5:39Now PlayingKatherine Ramsland, forensic psychologist and author of "The Serial Killer’s Apprentice," joins NewsNation to discuss the last-minute appeal by convicted serial killer Glen Rogers, who is set to be executed this week in Florida. Rogers’ attorneys claim he suffers from porphyria — a rare disease linked to vampire legends — and argue that lethal injection could cause him extreme suffering due to the condition. Convicted of two murders and linked to several more, Rogers once claimed to have killed over 70 people. Now, he hopes a medical condition might spare his life.
