he is done, but he has contributed to the length of the trial, most trials go to at least 5pm most days, so a shorter court day made for a longer trial, maybe he has a roast dinner to go home to,

Judge is about to recess for lunch. Says there is a rough copy of jury instructions they will go over after recess. Seems like Judge has finished ruling on charges. Judge's final rulings on charges that will be submitted to jury can be seen on this morning's live stream.

Prosecutor brought up and "quoted" transcript of that interview on cross so they could have played it to prove what was said. So defense not bringing it up on direct excuse is squashed. Prosecution could have played it.

Apparently not. I'll continue to check. Angenette Levy tweeted very little this morning. James and others tweeted nothing thus far.

Don't quote me on this - AirPods or court audio failing; however, I believe judge allowed the following: AC quote:
He engaged in obstruction of justice, he admitted to lying to agents at the border,
giving a false alibi to the agents at the border and he freely admitted he told Chris Newcomb not to talk to the authorities but they didn’t have to show up for inaudible.
IMO, MOO
Apologies for incompleteness.

The state probably wasn't taking any chances that defense would make them play the whole recording during cross, giving GW4 a chance to make his answers match the ones he gave BCI in the interview. Easier to just quote what was necessary from the transcript. JMO
As it turned out, GW4 did get quite a few answers wrong on cross. He proved he was making up his story and the details about what he did the night of the murders.

Pike County massacre trial: No jury this week but key developments still expected Here's what we're watching for: http://bit.ly/3GvjBEc
State wants to dismiss death penalty as a possible sentence for George Wagner IV if he's convicted of aggravated murder charges for eight members of Rhoden and GIlley families in Pike County April 21-22, 2016 But theystill want him convicted of agg murder charges
He is complicit in the murders, was armed with SKS rifle with silencer, Special Prosecutor Angela Canepa says. 'George was always the SKS guy, had the gun and aimed it at Chris Sr. and had the SKS (at trailer where Frankie Rhoden and Hannah Gilley were killed).'
Defense argues against the agg murder charges sticking but Deering sides with state. He already refused to drop agg murder charges in 2021 and just did again Monday.
The jury will consider agg murder charges against George Wagner IV, judge says, reasonable minds could conclude that the defendant is guilty, they are going through all the agg murder charges now and victims. Rule 29 motions from defense being denied, judge saays
George Wagner IV 'was complicit in this entire evening,' Special Prosecutor Angela Canepa says
Judge is denying all of defense Rule 29 motions so far to acquit George of agg murder charges, including death penalty specifications. I do expect state to request death penalty specs only, not agg murder charges, be dissmissed.
Edited: to remove redundancy.

Do we know what “the satisfaction of the prosecution” means?
It means they'll drop the DP for GW.
Guess they were satisfied.
JW still has to testify against his dad, if it goes to trial, in order to have his own DP taken off.

she could have played it at the end of her cross
Assume it means he lived up to the terms of his plea agreement, WRT testifying in GW4's trial. He will have to repeat the process for his father's trial.
In the meantime, its a benefit for his brother, who is no longer facing the death penalty. Also good for the jury, who doesn't have to be sequestered during deliberations.
Not sure what the plea agreement is for AW, perhaps something similar.
All of the other recorded evidence had a BCI agent on the stand when they were played. I wonder if the agents weren't available at short notice?
Why would she need to? The excerpt she quoted from the transcript during cross was sufficient. The judge and defense team have heard the audio and read the transcript.

The jury didn't
Jmo he wasn’t proved lying because she did produce a transcript. I don’t know that is what he said because only Capena said he said at border.
