Not open for further replies.
SP talks to his Atty . . . smug face . . . .

no video of Alaina in courtroom that I have seen. There were 4-5 men leaving courtroom wearing biker leather sleeveless jackets. Alaina leaving court - most people have left the court room. SP sits with Atty's @ defense table.

SP has pink socks, standard issue tan colored plastic slippers, pink shirt and blue scrubs looking top and bottoms. he just did fingerprinting and is signing papers @ defense table. Filed a notice of appeal copy filed in open court - copy received. Judge signing conditions of custody. Defense Atty picking up papers from table, talking with SP. Court is now in recess. SP shuffles out with his leg chains . . . .off to his cell.
 
I wish there were video in the hallway; Susan's sister seemed upset and reluctant to leave. :(

I saw that but did not know who it was. She was being pulled thru the doorway and she appeared to be pressing against the door frame trying to push back into the courtroom
 
Are there any media outlets reporting from outside of the courthouse right now?
 
He can't apologize he'd lose the civil case filed on behalf of the two young girls by admitting he did it. Saying "I'm sorry" admits guilt.

He still wouldn't admit in my book as he is one twisted sister upstairs.

I believe he was arrested last Sept? 9-10 months credit time served & not sure if the 85% rule is the same in Wash or for this charge. Hope he got more time that he thought he would get. He surely isn't walking out of jail today. I say that with a smug look on my face too.
 
I see your point, but would a meaningless apology be any better?

Your right, but it infuriates me to no end that he doesn't give a DIP what he stole from those children and their parents. He doesn't care and I have a hard time believing he doesn't KNOW what he did. If he really does think what he did wasn't bad...or hurtful, he's warped and I doubt anything could be done to change it. Even a dang* beating!
 
County jail or prison?
 
Not sure if he goes to prison but some jails will keep a prisoner up to a year. I think he needs hard time in prison.

If I calculated correctly with time served & possibly 85% for good behavior he will only serve 1 1/2 more years while filing appeal after appeal. Not enough.
 
:tears:

When will there be justice for Susan and those who loved her? :please:

Susan and her boys will not be forgotten and there will still be searches for her. The powells won't win.
 
Does anyone else wonder if Alina or someone else in the family has a book deal w/an advance? Where is the money coming from for day to day and to maintain the house?

I suspect SP is old enough to start getting social security, plus being a state employee he may well be eligible to start receiving his pension. The one brother no doubt gets disability as well. Those could be the sources of income. Plus JP left some cash for AP and that could be helping too.

I sure hope they do not end up getting all that life insurance money for Susan and the boys!
 
Pathetic sentence. Seems like the judge is more concerned with having his sentencing reduced on appeal than on protecting women and girls. This is just laughable. He gets a nice vacation behind bars and will be back out to do whatever with his family posse in no time.

Washington has really wagged its finger at WVC, but the truth is that it has also been this kind of excuse-making by the entire WA custody and "justice" system that gave Josh the opportunity, and will now let SP re-offend as soon as possible.
 
To me it also seemed like SP's charges haven't been seen in too many courts. Did they just present Washington cases at the trial? I guess I need to get the names of the cases they mentioned & check.

Paraphilias and Voyeurism is explained at this link.

I guess they can be trained to resist the feeling of wanting to do this type stuff, learn to avoid it, to know the triggers etc.. and if they give meds, it would be to lower their testosterome levels. Interesting how it almost gives you the answer in it to why SP is so f'd up. Bad unstable childhood. He had that but almost sang praises to it on his blog. Or that's when he cracked?

Another article I read said 20% that are diagnosed do esculate to more serious crimes of rape or assault (need to find that one). Heck, how can you catch such a sneaky perv & base a percentage on it, they hide like whimps, sneak around & enjoy knowing they are one too? Scary to think so many more are just lurking somedays.
 
:maddening: OMG -- I just read that SP got only 30 months :banghead:

:maddening: WTH is wrong with the judicial system -- and WHY didn't they give this [mod snip] the MAX ? :banghead:

This [mod snip] is a danger to society !


:please: Will there EVER be Justice for Susan, Braden, Charlie and the Cox Family ?

:moo:
 
I am disappointed that SP's sentence isn't longer but it is what it is I guess. At least he'll be recognized as the perv he is. And how ironic that he will undergo a psychosexual exam.

If I could afford to hire a PI to follow him around once he is released, I would. I feel sure he probably blames Susan for the problems that he and Josh created and I would not be at all surprised if he goes to 'visit' her when he gets out.

He is such a creepy old codger! I love the first pic at link where he is being escorted by a female LEO and wearing shackles.

I think the Cox family is going to file a civil suit very soon. I read that in one of the links just before the sentencing hearing, but didn't save it.
 
Ann Bremner represents the two girls. You can read a timeline of events here. This was yesterday right before the trial started.

UPDATE 1:37 pm PST: Anne Bremner, the lawyer for the voyeurism victims, walked back into the jury room and served Steven Powell with a lawsuit on behalf of the teenage girls.

“I said, ‘Here,’ ” she said.

The lawsuit is for wrongful acts, outrage, invasion of privacy, among other claims.

At 7:04 pm it talks about the Cox's and their plans to sue WVC & possibly SP on Susan's behalf.
