The judges now have an answer.

When Steve Lawson’s appeal was assigned to a panel of judges last month, there was an open question: would the lawyers get to argue the case out loud?

We now have the answer, and it tells us something about how the judges are approaching this case.

I've been covering the Bardstown cases for more than a decade. My reporting includes interviews with the detectives who know the cases best, the families who have suffered, and the experts who can break down what the police lingo and court rulings mean for the case.
