I don't doubt you at all. Jake is a murderer, so it's not really a far stretch that he'd lie. That's why I had wanted to hear or see a copy o, his testimony. I now, even more, consider the deal with AW far too forgiving but that's just me.
I only think AW would have wanted K because JW claimed the child to be his, and AW believed him or wanted to believe him and I'm sure he'd have raised the child if HMR had come back to him. Until that night.
I'll never believe that the FB Posts/arguments, in the week or so leading up to the murders, didn't have something to do with setting it all in motion. I believe in the basics of his story and that is about all. Same with AW. She's a piece of work. Manipulation oozes out of her. He had to go through with the DNA b/c it would look weird after he'd claimed the child was his if he then became disinterested in going through with the DNA test.
AW buying her that crib, and JW putting it together was just a way to get in to DR's new place, and get a good layout of the new home. Jm2 He had reason to be everywhere in there. I may be totally off base, but why else would they buy the crib? Even if they 100% knew the child was his, they knew it wasn't going to be used very long. A ruse.
Admitted liar.
The younger brother of George Wagner IV had spent four days being quizzed on what happened the night of April 21, 2016, when eight people were killed.

“You lied to everybody until you got your plea bargain, isn’t that true?” Parker asked.
“Yes.” Jake Wagner replied.
In addition to attacking his credibility, Parker zeroed in on the Jake Wagner’s memory, which Jake Wagner at one point described as a jigsaw puzzle. “Sometimes I remember things that didn’t happen that way,” he said.
“How long have you had this problem?” Parker asked when Jake Wagner said he sometimes has trouble remembering things.
“A long time,” Jake Wagner replied.
“Do you get confused sometimes?” Parker asked.
“Yes.” Jake Wagner answered.
Prior to that back and forth, Jake Wagner had described to the jury that at least two times he had been hit in the head as a child. He said he was so hurt the second time that he vomited if he tried to walk.
His father didn’t believe in going to the doctor, Jake Wagner explained during his testimony. George “Billy” Wagner III would stitch his kids up himself if they got hurt.
Jake Wagner also said his father taught him what he called “survival skills” early on in life.
Survival skills like how to break into cars; how to evade detection; how to break into a house or building with or without a lock pick; how to locate surveillance systems. Even how to survive in the woods on plants and mushrooms.
Lessons on how to break into cars eventually progressed to how to shoplift. Then how to siphon gas from cars. Even how to steal cargo from semi-trucks. Taking pains to stress that he personally never stole a car or cargo from semi-trucks, Jake Wagner – who worked for a time as a truck driver – said he sometimes would serve as lookout for his father.
Recounting a time his father delivered a stolen semitruck to Mexico, Jake Wagner said George “Billy” Wagner III was compensated handsomely.
Jake Wagner also said his father taught him to search corners when entering a room and to always pay attention to shadows. That and to always assume someone was listening in on his conversations.
“That was hardwired into my childhood. No matter where you was, assume that someone was listening,” Jake Wagner said.
“You’re a stone-cold killer, aren’t you?” Parker asked toward the end of the day’s proceedings.
“I was,” Jake Wagner replied.
“You killed eight people!” Parker said.
“I did,” Jake Wagner replied.
“You’re lying all the time, aren’t you?” Parker asked.
“I did,” Jake Wagner replied.
“You are!” John Parker shouted at him. “You sold your testimony to the state of Ohio to save your life?”
"I provided truthful testimony," Jake Wagner said.
"You sold that, didn't you? You didn't throw yourself on the mercy of the court with death specifications?" Parker asked.
“That’s one way of looking at it.” Jake Wagner replied.
