TACOMA, Wash. — A jury handling the voyeurism case against a missing Utah woman's father-in-law is restarting deliberations.
Jurors are scheduled to return to court in Washington state on Wednesday morning to determine the fate of Steve Powell. They failed to reach a verdict during several hours of deliberations Tuesday.
Powell is charged with 14 counts of voyeurism that stemmed from an investigation into the 2009 disappearance of his daughter-in-law Susan Powell. Authorities in that case found a disc in his bedroom that they say contained images of young girls who lived next door.
Defense attorneys question whether someone else could have taken the images, and jurors asked Tuesday whether the disc was found in boxes containing only items belonging to Steve Powell.
