Crystal Rogers case: Judge delays court appearance for Joseph Lawson to 2024
Lawson was the first person arrested in connection to the disappearance of Crystal Rogers
BARDSTOWN, Ky. (WTVQ) — A judge has delayed Joseph Lawson’s next court hearing in the disappearance of Crystal Rogers.
Lawson, 32, was the first man arrested in connection to Rogers’ 2015 disappearance. He is charged with conspiracy to commit murder and tampering with physical evidence.
He was scheduled to have a pre-trial hearing in Nelson County Circuit Court on Thursday, but Judge Charles C. Simms III has pushed that date back to Jan. 5, 2024.
It’s unclear at this time why the court hearing was moved back, however both the prosecution and defense have agreed to the move.
