I'm not sure how JW could possibly "prove" the families' allegations against him are untrue. Personally I do not believe he drugged his friends with knowingly tainted drugs, dragged their dying bodies outside into his fenced yard, posed one body in a chair, posed the other two bodies on the ground, and then went back inside and went to bed. I doubt there is any evidence he did any of those things. But how can he
prove he didn't?
And I think the accusations are ridiculous that as "the chemist" he created custom drugs for friends in a lab during high school. He probably had
one high school chemistry class.
Maybe two. And he was supposed to be creating custom drugs in a secret lab before he continued his education at a small regional branch of the state university? (School choice suggests he probably wasn't a high school prodigy.) But how could he possibly prove those things didn't happen over 20 years ago? It's pretty difficult, if not impossible, to prove any negative, even one that supposedly happened a few months ago, but one from a few
decades ago? .
Given what we know now, I can't imagine wrongful death suits against JW succeeding (assuming the civil trials were fair.) First the families denied the dead men ever did drugs. And then said the men may have taken drugs but they didn't "intend" to take drugs. (I can believe they didn't intend to take fentanyl although I don't see why they wouldn't know that could be in other drugs. And I do understand the families' denial but not their harsh and public blame of JW.) But with a wrongful death suit, we are apparently supposed to believe JW knowingly supplied tainted drugs and pressured the men to take them? And according to some family members, when it became apparent the drugs were bad, then dragged the fairly large dead or dying men outside to add hypothermia to the mix? Maybe he even planned to murder them because they saw something they shouldn't have? At least that's the way the harm has been spoken about by some of the families.
I'm also not sure anything goes for families to say because it's their opinion. I know opinions are shielded from defamation. But I always thought saying "I think he killed his wife" was an opinion whereas "He killed his wife" was a statement of fact & therefore possibly defamatory.
Most of the families' statements appear to be statements of fact, at least the ones I've seen (unless the family members were misquoted.)
Of course, we've not heard directly from JW about a possible defamation lawsuit - we've heard from a purported "friend" of JW's. In contrast, we
have heard allegations of murder and intentional killing aimed at JW directly by some family members and girlfriends.
