IMO, I wondered if he is even capable of telling the (whole) truth.
No. Notice how Jake "the jail preacher" would tell one story on the stand then when asked later he would change his story.
Of course he lied in every Chris Graves' article pre arrest, he even changed his story about when he picked up his daughter. He called the killers monsters. I'm sure he lied along with "mommy dearest" when she told people to call BCI to tell them the Manley's did it for insurance money.
Isn't it interesting that Jake told Angie to buy the shoes and they happened to be the same shoes Leonard M bought in February? Angie bought the shoes in early April.
I believe 100% he lied when he said his reason for confessing came about through prayer when his grandmother said she didn't want to lie anymore because it wasn't the Christian thing to do, she had lied saying she signed the fraudulent custody documents when it was Angie who faked her signature.
No way. Jake Wagner I am totally convinced, confessed for one reason and one reason only:
To save himself. Period.
His trial was closing in on him. In the spring Canepa said he had been working with them for about a month and his trial was scheduled for that summer, 2021.
There was just too much evidence against him. He said he lied to his attorneys that he was not guilty but then because of God and prayer he went and confessed his guilt to his attorneys.
I believe what actually happened is that his death penalty attorneys did the job that death penalty attorneys are paid to do, and that is to keep their clients off of death row at all cost.
I believe his attorneys totally leveled with him about the evidence against him, that the evidence was just too overwhelming against him to overcome. And that his chances of being convicted were extremely likely. Also, that if found guilty of the 8 murders the jury would be likely to sentence him to death row.
His saying he is sorry to the families is because he was caught and cornered like the rat he is. Do you think if he hadn't been arrested that he would have prayed on what to do then had this epiphany from God and then went to LE and confessed? Giving the families closure?
Nope, he even lied on the stand when he said he "had to do it." Yup, he said he "had to do it." He was still justifying the murders in his mind and he would have continued to do so for the rest of his life if he could have gotten away with it.
NOTE:
He was arrested in November 2018 and confessed to prosecutors in spring 2021. Well over 2 years of lying to the Court and the families and the public while sitting in jail thinking about it. He saw the evidence building and building up against him.
His "change of heart" just so happened to coincide before his trial that summer. No coincidence.
