Brooks Houck, Joseph Lawson and Steve Lawson are all charged in connection with the death of Crystal Rogers. 

Attorney Brian Butler said Houck is a "pariah" locally and also didn't want the trial to be held in any county in central Kentucky, including Fayette or Jefferson counties. He suggested Boyd County or Daviess County, since they are outside the Louisville and Lexington media markets and are "demographically" similar to Nelson. 

“At this point in time, I do think the prudent thing to do is to try to get a jury seated here in Jefferson County,” Judge Ann Bailey Smith said. 

“The large and diverse population of Jefferson County bodes well for the seating of a qualified jury in this case,” according to the motion by the Kentucky Attorney General's office. 

The attorney for former Louisville Metro police Det. Brett Hankison has asked that his wanton endangerment trial be moved because of a “media circus” that has portrayed Hankison and officers in a “false and negative light."

The trial for former Det. Brett Hankison has been scheduled for Aug. 31. Prosecutors said it will take them 3 to 4 days to put on their case.
