A self-confessed addict was found guilty of lighting a lover's friend's car on fire and painting ‘let her go, she is mine' outside the man's house.Brian Carlton Eugene Rogers, 49, had pleaded not guilty to arson, damaging property, theft and taking a vehicle without the owner's consent.A Supreme Court jury unanimously declared the North Terrace, Pembroke resident guilty of unlawful damage to property and stealing 20 bottles of Rum Swizzle valued at $525.They also found Rogers guilty, by majority verdicts, of arson, taking a motorcycle without authority and stealing a laptop computer and three security cameras totalling $4000.The court was earlier told Rogers began a sexual relationship with long-time friend and fellow drug user Denise Evans Wilkinson in 2009.Both were said to be involved in relationships with other people.On October 8, 2009 Ms Evans Wilkinson spent the night at a male friend's house.According to evidence, her relationship with friend Maxwell Brown was not sexual and they slept in separate rooms at his Boundary Lane, Devonshire home. Early the next morning, Mr Brown's sister smelled oil burning outside and discovered his car was on fire.The court heard Mr Brown hadn't touched his car that night and had been using his bike for transportation. He tried to throw water on the blaze, with no success. He also noticed someone had painted ‘let her go. She is mine' in white, on the walls outside his home.The same day a neighbour also noticed that his work van had been broken into and several items were missing, including a Dell laptop computer, valued at $2,000. The neighbour also saw that 20 bottles of homemade Rum Swizzle were removed from a refrigerator on his porch.Police found Roger's fingerprints on a Heineken beer bottle at the scene and went to his house to question him.Rogers ran away upon seeing the officers. They later found a laptop computer bag, two security cameras and a motorbike, which was reported stolen the day before.Prosecutor Kristy-Ann Kiellor said the defendant's testimony was filled with lies and contradictions.She said he admitted to having a history of violence and offences of dishonesty stemming back nearly three decades and to having anger management problems.Ms Kiellor also questioned why he never explained how the white paint, similar to that used in the offence, got on his clothes. Mr Daniels said his client had no animosity towards Mr Brown and claimed he was blamed for the offence because of his past criminal convictions.Puisne Judge Charles-Etta Simmons ordered pre-sentencing reports for Rogers. A sentencing date will be fixed on February 8.
