Nick Houck was arrested in June and charged with multiple counts of perjury after Kentucky State Police alleged he made material false statements under oath during official proceedings connected to the Crystal Rogers investigation.
Attorney General Russell Coleman filed briefs in support of the "substantial proof" presented at both of the Lawson trials, saying the evidence provided more than enough proof of their involvement in Rogers' death.
Attorneys for Steve Lawson argued Monday that a mistake made in not performing DNA testing on two hairs found in Rogers’ car in 2015.
Attorneys for Brooks Houck will argue why his trial should be separated from the other two suspects in the case — father and son Steve and Joseph Lawson.
Nelson County Judge Charles Simms noted that in all the records he has seen, the agreement between prosecutors and Lawson stipulated he had to be 100 percent honest with investigators.
The Rogers' family said they are slowly getting more answers in her case.
