Applause is rarely, if ever, heard in a courtroom, but a crowd of about 50 clapped Thursday after Ogden financier Val Southwick was sentenced to the maximum -- nine consecutive prison terms of 1 to 15 years each for fraud. The outburst came after Southwick was handcuffed and led from the courtroom after an impassioned 21/2-hour sentencing hearing. Ogden Mayor Matthew Godfrey, whose family had invested with Southwick, was the only person to speak in support of Southwick. Some in the audience almost began hooting -- drawing an admonishment from the judge -- as Godfrey said " ... this is not an evil man." Godfrey insisted that a murderer or rapist will have to be let out of the state prison to make room for Southwick. He also said a lengthy prison term will not bring any feeling of "vindication or satisfaction" to victims. Godfrey cited the example of the capture 18 years later of the man who murdered his sister in California in 1988. "There was no vindication or happiness that he was caught."
