This is just my opinion, but there are links I am too tired to look up right now, since I was up for a few hours today. Anyway most of you have followed the hearings and read the motions and they have been posted here many times before. So JMO.

Jake put a newborn to nurse from the dead mother probably sealed George's fate.
You have more confidence than I do then. Unfortunately, as far as murder goes you are not your brother's keeper, so what Jake admits he did cannot be transferred to George and you can be certain the jury is not going to hold George accountable for Jake's admitted actions. According to Jake, George can't even testify to what Jake did since he wasn't there to see it.
We have lumped this case as the W4 for so many years it's hard to let it go and consider only the evidence that pertains to George.
But remember George is the only one on trial here. Forget Jake and Angie. They have pled guilty and been sentenced already. Jake is a sick pedophile abuser who after AC's opening, I am not convinced he did not act alone in this with Angie's help planning it. Angie is an enabler and abuser and evidently spies on her son's ex's and reports back to them.
Now we need to focus on the evidence against just George. This is a man on trial for his life. The jury owes him that. And you can bet they will only be focused on what George did and only the evidence against George. So far nothing. All the state admits it has is a size 10 1/2 or size 11 bloody shoe print. One at Chris's and one at Dana's I think. The first and last place a crime took place.
Have to listen to that opening again but if AC said George was inside Frankies then where is the bloody shoe print from there? Keep in mind people the only crime scene with blood on the floor to step in was Chris's. The others were shot in bed and not moved from where they were shot. Jake admits he shot Frankie and Hazel while George was not in the bedroom. Jake admits he shot Chris Jr, Hannah and Dana. Jake says George was guarding the door to Chris Jr's bedroom but did not shoot him and did not enter the bedroom so no blood to step in there either. Jake says Billy shot Kenny while George was up the highway as look out. No blood to step in there either.
I did an experiment today. I have nothing else to do right now so I had my oldest GS go to Walmart and buy a pair of size 10 1/2 and size 11 athletic shoes and a bottle of ketchup. When he got back I told him to smear that ketchup all over my varnished wood floor. Then I told him to put on the left shoe of the 10 1/2 and step in the ketchup. I then had him to hop over to the carpet and step down on it. Repeated with the left side size 11. Then I told him to wait until it dried most of the way and measure both. He did so with a jewelry tool I use to measure width of jewelry which has MM's instead of inches. They were 1/1008 mm off. Then I made him clean it all up. lol Not a precise experiment but gives you an idea. I wish I could ask hubby who worked homicide crime scenes how accurate my experiment is but that is not possible right now. Point is that is some very thin evidence. Try it yourself and see. Costs under 25.00 to do it.
As far as George going with Angie and Jake to buy a vehicle, that's not evidence and is a non starter for me. I have went with people to buy a vehicle and I have not killed anyone.
The two vehicles with one following close behind the other could have been Jake and Angie who have confessed to this crime.
Here's hoping the state has more, like video surveillance from one of those houses that captured a clear picture of George in one of those vehicles because they sure can't place him inside the crime scenes. Or surveillance from Chris or Kenny's outside cameras placing him at the scenes. The state has admitted they do not have George's DNA at any of the crime scenes. No forensics on George at all.
No wonder Nash smiled every time AC said "they" or them". I saw him look at George and smirk while the male EMT was testifying. The male EMT made no mention of a bloody foot print by Chris Jr's bedroom and Junk did not ask him to point any out on the crime scene photos like he did with the pacifier.
BTW I have not seen anywhere that there were any eye witnesses to this crime unless you are talking about Jake who we know is a liar and who none of us trust? Or Billy who has not said a word? Angie, according to her and Jake was home in bed asleep so could not have seen a thing.
At this point after hearing all the motions and watching all the hearings in George's case, just not seeing it folks.
I am hoping and praying but not sure my hopes and prayers are going to get a conviction on George.
