Steve Lawson, Joseph Lawson’s father, underwent a separate trial but received a similar guilty verdict for the same charges as his son. According to the outlet, Steve Lawson was given a life sentence and is in the process of appealing his conviction.

A final sentencing hearing for Lawson and Houck is set for Aug. 21.
