BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — The prosecution rested its case against Steve Lawson on Thursday, but not before playing revealing jailhouse calls.
Lawson is one of three men charged in connection to the death of Crystal Rogers, who vanished from Bardstown in 2015. Her ex-boyfriend Brooks Houck and Steve Lawson's son, Joseph, are all facing charges.
On day three of Lawson's trial, it was tense yet again, to the point that a court officer had to stand between the lead attorneys.
But Steve Lawson's jail phone calls were the standout moment. Beyond discussing Rogers' disappearance, how the two callers pressed Lawson about what happened is telling.
They brought Rogers' family to tears in the courtroom.
In one call from Jan. 5, Lawson's mother asked, "Brooks Houck didn't ask you to kill her?" Lawson responded, "He said, 'I want her gone.' I said, 'What are you talking about? I don't know why you're talking to me.' No more, no less, end of story."
They also discussed Rogers' car found on Bluegrass Parkway and Steve and Joseph Lawson's involvement.
Lawson's mother questioned, "Why in the hell did you take him to get her car?" Lawson admitted, "I don't know, mom. That's the truth." She further asked, "When you knew she was missing, why didn't you say something?" Lawson replied, "Yeah, I should've said something right then."
In a second call, a few days later with an unknown person, Lawson was asked about Crystal's body.
Lawson said, "I'm telling you I don't know." The frustrated caller accused Lawson, "It's premeditated murder," to which Lawson responded, "There's no premeditation on my end." The caller angrily stated, "You could've saved that girl's life... and you didn't," and Lawson replied, "I never set nobody up."
A quick recap of the trial up to this point 맥스카지노 the prosecution has rested after calling 12 witnesses.
The defense closed day three with its first witness, an expert in forensic DNA, who testified about the two hairs found in Rogers' car that were never tested.
Friday will bring more defense witnesses, closing arguments, and potentially the start of jury deliberations.
