WQXE News 0 Comments

Documentation related to Steven Lawson’s appeal of his conviction in the Crystal Rogers investigation was filed in Nelson Circuit Court Tuesday.

Attorneys for Lawson submitted a notice of appeal to the Kentucky Court of Appeals from the final judgement and sentence of imprisonment entered on August 7. Lawson was found guilty of Class B Felony Conspiracy to Commit Murder and Class D Felony Tampering with Physical Evidence on May 30 and sentenced to 17 years in prison on August 6.

The attorneys also submitted a motion to proceed in forma pauperis, which requests Lawson continue to be represented by a public defender without further proof he needs one as he was previously found to need one in his criminal case. The motion notes Lawson’s financial situation remains unchanged as he has been imprisoned since sentencing.

A designation of record for Lawson’s appeal was also submitted, which designates the entire record of his court proceedings as the record of the appeal. This includes arraignment, bond review, and pre-trial hearings, the four-day jury trial, and the sentencing hearing.

Lawson is currently incarcerated at the LaRue County Detention Center.

Multiple hunting seasons getting under way in Kentucky

Fall hunting opportunities are getting under way in Kentucky.

The first of three dove season sessions is under way in the Commonwealth, running now through October 26 with a daily limit of 15. A new regulation in effect for 2025 means that hunters may not use decoys on public-controlled lands during the month of September. Visit the Migratory Bird Hunting page on the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife website for other dates and limits.

Kentucky’s archery deer season opens this Saturday, September 6, with crossbow season opening on September 20. Both seasons will close on January 19. This year’s calendar includes an expanded youth-only modern gun season from October 11 through 19, with the regular modern gun season running November 8 through 23. A special season for antler-less deer will be open in the fourteen counties in the CWD Surveillance Zone, including Breckinridge, Hardin, and Meade counties, on September 27 and 28. Hunters should review the state’s CWD regulations on the KFW website.

Unless you are a Kentucky resident hunting on your own property, hunters born after 1974 are required to receive hunter education certification. Visit the Hunter Education webpage on the KFW website for course schedules and requirements.
