LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The third man charged in connection with the death of Crystal Rogers is expected in court Thursday.

Steve Lawson is scheduled to be arraigned in Nelson County. The special prosecutor in the case said Lawson will appear by video and not in person.

Lawson was arrested earlier this month, charged with conspiracy to commit murder and tampering with physical evidence.

His son, Joseph Lawson, and Brooks Houck — Rogers' boyfriend at the time of her disappearance — are also charged.

Steve Lawson's bond is set at $500,000 cash. His attorney said Lawson is innocent, and had been offered immunity by federal investigators.
