Sentencing for two men convicted in the Crystal Rogers investigation will have to wait another month.

Brooks Houck and Joseph Lawson were scheduled to be sentenced in Nelson Circuit Court this Thursday, but an order from Nelson Circuit Judge Charles Simms III issued Monday continued the sentencing hearing to September 17.

The order reads: “Unfortunately, the court must continue the final sentencings due to the ongoing serious health issues of the defendant, Joseph L. Lawson.”

A jury in Warren County on July 8 found Houck guilty of Murder and Tampering with Physical Evidence and Lawson guilty of Conspiracy to Commit Murder and Tampering with Physical Evidence. The jury recommended a life sentence for Houck and 25 years in prison for Lawson.
