The verdict is plainly stated in the articles title.......wow

What a scumbag family of nuts! Too bad innocents had to get in their way.

Guilty in the first sentence too.

The Jury should of sentenced him as an abettor to the deaths of Susan, and her children.

One sicko; 2 sickos, Josh, and his Father. This is the kind of prisoner our taxpayers pay for; to feed and house the most wretched kind of human Species.

There is no where to put monsters like this. H----------possibly.

Voyeurism---He got off easy---he lives, while the rest of the family died in a torturous way. Josh, creepo, was a product of his parents. Isn't there a sentence for that?

Now he should be "castrated" like the old days. He'll somehow still be poking holes thru walls in prison to get a thrill. There is no cure for this sickness, equal to pedophiles.

The verdit was gulity on all counts -- sentencing is set for June 15th. Standard sentence is about 4 years. Guess you did not READ the article. Saw a show about this guy and his son and the missing person's case. While they still can not prove a direct connection yet -- it is pretty clear that this old guy had something to do with the disappeance of his daughter-in-law. he is a sick puppy with a gaint ego and a over-blown sense of himself.

That is one sick family.

This man will not fare well in prison. I hope he suffers the fires of hell for what he did and what his son did to those poor little boys.

The apple does'nt fall far from the tree. Sh!t like this has probably been happening in their family for generations!

FREAK!

Aren't there rules about this stuff?

There'll be plenty of windows to look through where he's going.

My guess is he was in on the womans murder/disaperance.

get a rope...

Response to schoolyard who said, " The apple does'nt fall far from the tree. Sh!t like this has probably been happening in their family for generations!"

How right you are! Last December in the Huffington Post, I read a comment from someone who discovered that Steven Powell had a website dedicated to his music under the fake name, "Steve Chantrey". They
suggested that the bio on it revealed that Steven Powell had a troubled youth.

If you go to his website and read the "About" section & "Meet Steve" you will find a story about his early childhood memories. He says that while living in Portland, his pregnant mother “made a unilateral and secretive decision to separate from my dad and moved with my brother, my sister and me” to Ohio. He
doesn’t say why. Steve's dad tracks her down, and they reconcile. Steve then says that his father “made a unilateral and secretive decision to separate from my mom.” He also says the dad takes and sells the mom’s new car, and tells the kids that their mom “went to visit her aunt in Burbank” (!?) The dad takes the kids to where their paternal grandparents are waiting and together they drive the four kids across state lines to where the grandparents earlier had relocated their trailer house to Weed, in Northern California. Then, after getting the trailer, they continued on to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho where they secure the trailer home in a trailer camp located near the freeway. He says that even at 7 years of age, something didn’t seem right. He asked where his mother was and was told he would never see her again! He said that he and his siblings were inconsolable.

Later, when Steve mentioned to a neighbor that he’d been kidnapped (!), his grandmother found out and put some cayenne pepper on his tongue to keep him from saying that again. His dad moved to Yakima, WA, and left Steve to be raised by the grandparents.

Many things come to mind when reading this.

1. Steve’s grandparents were mentally sick to aid and abet in this kidnapping and possible murder scheme.

2. Steve’s dad was possibly abusive and/or a murderer.

3. Steve Powell himself is a confirmed voyeur and pedophile and perhaps an accessory to the murder of Susan Powell, his son Josh’s wife.

4. Steve’s son Josh Powell is a confirmed pedophile (pictures found on his computer show parent/child incest) and murdered his own children and most likely his wife.

My conclusion is this: might we see the deaths of the two little boys as a blessing? Who knows what bent thoughts they might have inherited from this multi-generational family of debauchery.

Reading comprehension issue??

...too bad your IP address doesn't show up with your comment, ya creepy peeper!

If the grandfather was a creeper and the father was a creeper, wouldn't the kids probably become creepers? So why is it so bad they died. Just ended the genetic or taught perversion like so many other posts claim. just a thought using others logic.

Actually they could only throw out the evidence if they found it somewhere not covered by the warrant, it would be "fruit of the poisonous tree" then. Apparently he kept his little mementos in a place the warrant named to be searched making the evidence submittable because it was within the scope of the original search. Kind of like say, they have a warrant to search a home for drugs, but come across body parts during that search, those body parts give reasonable suspicion of another crime therefore they are submittable evidence for another warrant to search for evidence of the new crime.

What I want to know is why the evidence of Susan being spied on was thrown out, if he took pictures of her like this then she was just as much a victim?

True. But the case was pushing the child porn angle and Susan was a grown woman (but the fact that he had pitucres of her might have been part of the basis for the first warrant). It has already been proven that this man had a"thing' for his daughter-in-law --and he has already be so bold in the past to plainly state that he thought he was "all that" and that she 'must have wanted him" --Any sentence they give him will not be enough time.

He used to violate the privacy of others, now his privates will be violated.

This whole entire case didn't pass the smell test and there are two little boys that aren't around because of it. I hope that there is finally justice for Susan and her sons. He had to be involved some way and this does buy some time that they need.

I agee

Hope they throw away the key on this guy. He is one sick excuse for a human being.

I would help toss him, he needs to get the shaft. I hope it is a deep mine shaft.

I hope in the bottom of that mine shaft is a collection of long and rusted spikes

That's a good idea Sam. But I wonder, if he knows, would he be too afraid to tell out of fear of involving himself (as an accomplice, at the least) with her murder?

He is so full of himself, maybe that thought would just fly over his head and he slips up and does tell. There are legal ways of wrangling around a deal - loopholes so to speak!

Child molesters get less time than ANY other offenders! It's a damn shame too.

It's the result of the Drug War. When lenient sentences never halted the illegal drug market, politicians tried making the punishments much more severe to both act as a deterrent and keep those associated with drugs off the streets longer.

This is why murderers, rapists and other violent criminals are not behind bars as long as they should be. Our lock em' up approach to the justice system is clogged up with perps who should be paying bigger fines with community service.

And as the number of those getting jailed grow, most states are cutting back on law enforcement funding and can't build more jails to house everyone.

I believe the violent criminals should be a priority, and should be the ones serving the long sentences. These include murders, molesters, rapists, abusers, and those guilty of assault. Then comes the thieves with gradient time for the size of the theft and I include those who commit so called "white collar" crimes in here, like Maddoff or what ever his name is. They steal millions of peoples money and should be doing more hard time than the guy who only stole to feed his family.

Naw, he's old. Bubba dem likes young, fresh booty.

Maybe the boyfriends can get some information out of him to tell where Susan's body is. Just sayin'
