Blacks and Latinos have the same priorities as everyone else—schools, jobs and public safety. Liberals seldom turn to this column for political advice. They do, however, seem to trust the New York Times, so maybe they caught the Gray Lady’s recent analysis of why the Democratic Party is in the demographic dumps. Leftists such as Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez denounce Republicans as “oligarchs,” yet millions of blue-collar voters flocking to the GOP remain unpersuaded.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WDRB) -- After hours of deliberation, a jury found Steve Lawson, one of three men charged in connection with the death of Crystal Rogers, guilty on all charges. Lawson has been found guilty of conspiracy to commit murder and tampering with physical evidence. Rogers was last seen alive on July 3, 2015, during the Fourth of July weekend. Days later, her car was found abandoned — still running — on the side of the Bluegrass Parkway. Her purse and other belongings were inside.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WDRB) -- In damning jail phone calls played Thursday for jurors in the Steve Lawson trial, his mother and another person repeatedly criticized him for his role in the disappearance of Crystal Rogers. While Lawson repeatedly said he didn't have anything to do with her 2015 murder and didn't know where her body was, he did admit he knew Brooks Houck — Roger's boyfriend — had talked about killing her.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WDRB) -- On the second day of Steve Lawson's trial in the 2015 murder of Crystal Rogers, perhaps the most surprising moment had nothing to do with Lawson. After defense attorneys criticized the investigation into Lawson, saying other suspects were ignored, special prosecutor Shane Young loudly informed the jury there are two other suspects: the mother and brother of Rogers' former boyfriend, Brooks Houck. "We believe them to be involved," Young said of Rosemary and Nick Houck.
