Until this trial I had no doubt all four Ws were guilty. Not a doubt! I even stopped following this case, figured it was done after the evidence presented at GWIV’s bond hearing and the confessions. This trial has been bizarre, though, AC opening statements, day after day, week after week with no mention of GW. Bizarre. For me, GW testimony made me think he may be guilty. Too well coached, but his anger showed. He did well on cross, believable, good answers, didn’t let AC put words in his mouth. If he is innocent and the jury believes him, he has a right to be angry at this point. OTOH, if the jury doesn’t believe him, believes JW, then his anger makes murder plausible.
It’s possible he wasn’t there that night and didn’t participate in the planning. But hard to believe he didn’t know until JW’s proffer. We still don’t know what happened that night. JW’s proffer was coached to fit the evidence. AW’s too.
State has not proven its case. For weeks I wondered who was on trial, this week I wonder what are the charges? And I don’t think the W family is as enmeshed as we’ve been told.
