They read stories, played games and the boys really warmed up to them quickly, Jennifer Graves said. "They were really happy to see us."

How nice.

My attention is more on the judge - why did she want to keep researching this? It's an obvious point to me, considering minors are involved.

She said no. Then the media called their lawyers.

I must have missed this yesterday:

Chuck Cox's attorney, Steve Downing, told the court he believes Josh Powell doesn't want the children with anyone else for fear they will share what they know. The attorney said that at one point when the children were with their grandparents, one of the boys pointed to a picture of a woman on a magazine, pointed to her chest and said "Mommy, owie."

I so agree. I love it when they can livestream a hearing, but FGS, don't keep so many people waiting, especially Chuck. He's waited long enough.

A ruling only takes and dang minute. Get on with it Judge and KIRO.

Jennifer Graves said Josh's assertion the children don't know the Coxes or her family is "ridiculous."

Jennifer Graves: "I believe the boys will be in a better place if they are not with Josh right now."

Jennifer Graves, who lives in Utah, said the boys were "over at our house almost weekly. The idea they don't know us is silly."

Chuck Cox spoke to the Tribune briefly, said of the boys: "They're with us and they're doing fine."

Yay!

Thank you so much for that link, epiphany!

I knew I saw that recently but couldn't recall where.

Asked if the boys had inquired about their dad, Graves said "They mentioned something, but we just tried to not go into that kind of thing."

Jennifer Graves: "We need to figure out the truth."

Jennifer Graves, Josh's sister, said it was "sad that it's come to this." She believes Josh is responsible for his wife's disappearance.

"Pick your battles" is absolutely right! Just let it go and get on with it!

However, I would like for SP to be able to watch a newsreel of the judge ruling those boys are to go live with the Coxes permanently. That would be priceless. He could play it over and over in his mind every night as he tries to fall asleep on his hard bunk in his tiny cell with a big snoring guy right above him.

Judge is probably calling in a hairdresser.

I so hope the boys will end up with the Coxes, it seems it would be a much healthier environment for them.

Graves said that could mean the boys would occasionally be brought back to Utah to see their cousins.

Does anyone think it is possible the judge is stalling for time? Maybe for an arrest warrant against JP? Or am I just guilty of magical wishful thinking?

 

[fran]

You know, JP always had his dad to fall back on. Even if it was with a phone call. Can you just imagine his frustration and concern right now? I mean his kids are with the Coxes, what will they say?

He's sweating bullets, right about now. And the MSM's are helping because they want to view the hearing. I bet the judge is questioning this because JP PROBABLY complained about the cameras.

LOL, JP better forgetaboutit! He listened to his dad and now look what a stew he AND his dad are in!

just sayin'

Here's the deal: All coverage may be excluded for portions of the Cox/Powell case. Other parts may be open. Lawyers on it. More by 11:30

 

[JustJax]

While the delay is frustrating, I am hoping that they allow the stream....I say the more pressure and media attention all up in JP's face will push him over the edge. Susan needs to be found and those boys need to be right where they are at now.
