FRANKFORT (05/06/26) — Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman is asking the state supreme court to uphold Brooks Houck’s conviction in the murder of Crystal Rogers.
Coleman filed a brief Wednesday in response to Houck’s appeal of his conviction to the Kentucky Supreme Court, arguing in support of the proof presented during Houck’s murder trial last year.
In his January appeal, Houck argued the state never proved Rogers, his girlfriend at the time of her 2015 disappearance, was ever even murdered.
Prosecutors focused on Houck’s actions in the days before and after Rogers’ disappearance in obtaining a guilty verdict and life sentence.
