Joseph Lawson, one of three men convicted in the murder of Bardstown mother Crystal Rogers, filed an appeal Monday.
Nearly a decade after Crystal Rogers disappeared, two men convicted in her murder are expected to learn their sentences Wednesday in Nelson County.
A Nelson County man was indicted on a felony charge of retaliating against a participant in the legal process, specifically the Crystal Rogers murder trial, according to court records.
In the roughly 30 hours of phone calls, Brooks Houck talks about being in shock, a plan to use his son to hopefully get him out of prison and his desperation leading him to cry out to God.
Hundreds of pages of documents, pictures, text messages, cellphone records and other evidence collected in the Crystal Rogers murders case were made public Tuesday afternoon.
The filing comes about two months after attorneys for Lawson asked a judge to either grant him a new trial or throw out the May 30 guilty verdict, arguing he was denied a fair trial.
Newly unsealed court documents claim Brooks Houck's mother didn't use her cellphone between June 16 and Aug. 4, 2015, indicating she was using a different phone around the time Crystal Rogers was murdered.
The judge did not allow media cameras in the courtroom during the trial, but released the court videos Thursday after verdicts had been reached in both trials of the Crystal Rogers murder case.
In summarizing the two-week Crystal Rogers murder trial, prosecutor Shane Young tried to keep his conclusion very simple for a Warren County jury.
Judge Charles Simms III said he expects the defense will conclude its case Thursday afternoon.
