The amended court record now specifies the alleged perjury happened between July 15, 2015, and Aug. 16, 2023.
Sherry Ballard said a mother's fight for justice never ends. Nearly 11 years after her daughter Crystal Rogers disappeared, she became emotional when she learned the brother of her daughter's killer was arrested.
Houck was transferred from the Roederer Correctional Complex in Oldham County.
Ballard was about to go hunting on the family's property along Ed Brent Lane near the Blue Grass Parkway when he was shot in the chest.
Joseph Lawson, who stood trial with Houck, was sentenced to 25 years in prison after being convicted of conspiracy to commit murder and tampering with physical evidence.
Houck agreed to let his sister, Rhonda McIlvoy, have full custody of Eli, who is now 12, according to court documents filed on Monday.
Nelson Circuit Court Judge Charles Simms III followed the recommendation of a jury, which, in May, found Lawson guilty of conspiracy to commit murder and tampering with physical evidence.
Rhonda McIlvoy filed a motion in Nelson Circuit Court on July 18, ten days after Brooks Houck was found guilty in the 2015 murder of Rogers, asking to maintain custody of Eli, who is now 12.
On Friday, Judge Charles Simms III, who presided over the 10-day trial in which Houck was convicted in the 2015 murder or Rogers, ordered Houck not to transfer any property until at least after an evidentiary hearing scheduled for Oct. 8.
A final sentencing hearing will be held Aug. 21 in Nelson County.
