TACOMA, Wash. — After deliberating for 4 hours Tuesday, the 12-member jury in the Steven Powell case went home for the evening without reaching a verdict.
The jurors will return to the Pierce County courtroom on Wednesday to continue deliberations.
For the prosecution, that means finding Powell guilty of 14 counts of voyeurism. For the defense, it means acquitting Powell because the state failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt.
In convicted, Powell faces up to five years in prison for each of the 14 counts.

This trial is of great interest to many of us who believe evidence points to his involvement in Susan Powell's murder.

Pure Witch-Hunt, based on phantom speculations and in-direct circumstantial evidence if at all.
Nothing to go on, No evidence tying them together More..
Why would Steven Powell have pasted Susan Powell's head on bodies of nude women? Thank goodness the judge ruled the evidence admissible to the jury.
