An order was issued concerning pretrial activities for the case of one of the Crystal Rogers investigation suspects.

Nelson Circuit Judge Charles Simms III issued an agreed order Wednesday in the case of Commonwealth of Kentucky versus Steven Lawson, under which all pleadings prior to trial will be filed with the Nelson Circuit Court and all pretrial proceedings will be held in Nelson County.

According to the order, a change of venue was approved in October of 2024 to move the trial from Nelson County to Warren County. Per Kentucky law, when a case is transferred the case record is transferred with it and any case filings have to be made in the new venue. The order notes that the prosecution and defense agreed to the order based upon convenience to all parties involved.

Lawson’s trial is scheduled to begin on May 27. During a pretrial conference in February, Lawson’s attorneys said they were still concerned with having enough time to process all of the discovery in the case, and noted that Lawson first got access to the discovery himself when the attorneys were appointed to him in August. Simms said he would permit any requested accommodations to get Lawson to the courthouse in order to review the discovery as needed.

Lawson is next scheduled to appear at a pretrial conference on April 3.
