A final sentencing hearing will be held Aug. 21 in Nelson County.
A jury of 15 people, including three alternatives, were seated Tuesday, and opening statements will begin Wednesday morning for defendants Brooks Houck and Joseph Lawson.
It's rare in Kentucky for murder cases to make it to trial without any of this evidence, attorneys told WDRB News.
Lawson, 54, was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder and tampering with physical evidence on May 30.
In an order Tuesday, Nelson Circuit Court Judge Charles Simms III wrote that "unfortunately," in the high-profile murder trial of Crystal Rogers, he must "impose limitations" on the media and public.
Moises May, who is standing trial on charges of kidnapping, human trafficking and assault, among others, said he and Jonna Wilson had an agreement that if she didn’t go to rehab, she would chain herself up, according to police testimony.
The defense argues Lawson has not yet been shown all of the evidence against him yet, and that just recently more evidence was turned over by the federal government that was only recently discovered by prosecutors.
Last month, Hankison's attorneys asked a judge for a new trial in the Breonna Taylor case. Prosecutors have called their arguments a “desperate” attempt using “baseless” claims.
The jury — made up of six women and six men, one of whom is Black — has deliberated for about about 10 hours total after hearing seven days of testimony.
"Even when officers face the most serious threats, they can’t fire their weapon unless they know what they are shooting at."
