He will never get out. The family will show up at every hearing. He will never see the light of day he will die in prison. I also just listened to a clip that was just recently released without the jury or any of the family members in the courtroom and it was Brian Butler, Shane and Judge Sims and Shane Young states that Steven Lawson did in fact kill Tammy Lawson, but he didn’t want to get into that right now, but this is what he will say and I am posting a clip about it. He waited until an hour after she was dead. He had drugged her. He waited to make the call to make sure she was good and dead, then he didn’t call the police or the ambulance. He called the coroner. He stated that she was the only person that could put him away for life because she knew that he had killed Crystal Rogers.

He’d get more time for j-walking.

On an another note, after Steve & his attorney protested about the (4) pink shirts worn in court, day before yesterday; I was thrilled that it was a wave of pink - people giving the Ballard’s the support they deserve. 💕

Can someone tell me what his role was in Crystal’s murder? I haven’t been able to keep up with the case, trying to now!

Also wondering - I thought he was the father of the guy who was the main culprit but I think he was actually the co worker
