They always say follow the money traithem,
On the other hand, there are many colleges she could have attended virtually free of charge with grants and low interest loans. Got herself a career which paid very well.
But then she could have just got a job like Dana did.
One thing that is weighing on me in all this testimony is what they are saying about Jake not letting Hannah leave the house. During the time Hannah was with jake and even when she lived with the W's Hannah finished high school. Hannah had a job. Hannah was at Chris Sr's side in the hospital. Hannah visited family and friends. Hannah had a car.
Like I said, all this emotional testimony about Jakes abuse is damaging the states case against George. Do I think Jake was abusive? Violently so. But what does that have to do with George?
The prosecution is stomping all over their own case and covering any real evidence they have against George up with the truck load of red herrings of emotional testimony about Jake abusing Hannah.
JMO
There has been a lot of testimony, (proffers are testimony) not hearsay, but actual testimony from Angela and Jake that George was at the crime scenes.
You come across like the jury won't believe a word of what Jake and Angela testify to under oath.
Then on top of that the prosecution told the court they had George committing all 4 parts of the crimes without Jake and Angela's testimony.
The
planning, the
preparation, the
execution and the
cover up.
Also the prosecutor said that Complicity in Ohio is if 2 or more people engage in criminal activity for the purpose of one doing one part the other doing the other part then each is responsible for the whole.
He, the prosecutor, said that the defendant doesn't seem to get that he doesn't seem to understand that - he wants to argue that he didn't do this or he didn't do that when the evidence will show that at the very least he participated in every phase of this crime.
Until Nash's opening statement the defense did not deny that George was there, they did not deny at the hearings or in their Motions that:
1.) Angie placed him there.
2.) Jake placed him there.
3.) He went at the last minute.
4.) He only went to protect Jake from Billy.
5.) He hid at Chris's in the truck.
6.) He didn't shoot anyone while being there.
You have Jake's first hand account of George buying items to make suppressors, George helping to buy the murder truck, George modifying the murder truck, George hiding at Chris's in the murder truck, George pointing a gun at Chris but then Jake taking it away, Jake saying George moved bodies at Chris's then stood near Chris Jr's bedroom in Dana's house. Angie saying George went with Billy and Jake to the murder scenes.
2 guns used in the murders were listed as George owning them on Angie's laptop. Jake had a family gun list on his phone. George practiced shooting suppressors in his woods, George signed fake custody documents, George made threats and many incriminating statements and BCI has 8,000 statements of interest from the Wagners. George bought a glock and a night scope and a mask and used Jake's rewards card, George voted to do the murders and Angela vividly remembers asking George if he wanted to go through with it. George was in the truck at Walmart while Angie was buying the murder shoes.
Angie admits buying the murder shoes just for George to use in the murders and there was no wear on the tread of those shoes. Angie said she showed the shoes to George but George says no, she never did show him the shoes. George told lies to BCI they have recorded including telling BCI that custody was fine with Jake. The shoe expert proves there were 2 different shoe prints at the crime scenes.
The trial is still in the beginning and the prosecution hasn't even had the chance yet to prove all this evidence and get all this testimony in front of the jury. The prosecution knows they have to prove this evidence and testimony against George.
If all 12 jurors agree that George was at the crime scenes he will be convicted of murder. Nash knows this. This is why I believe Nash is changing his story and now saying George wasn't at the crime scenes, and didn't know about the murders until after they happened. George being at the crime scenes supports several other charges against him.
Give the prosecution time to prove it's case against George before you have him acquitted of 22 felonies.
Also the prosecution said they have both circumstantial evidence and actual evidence against George.
And yes they did everything together and voted on everything together. There was never a time George, Angie and Jake never lived together. Of course the prosecution will have witnesses to prove this. They have all the bank accounts showing shared money and proof the brother's worked together.
No juror in their right mind will believe George knew nothing about the murder plot. No juror in their right mind will believe that George could not have called LE or warned the Rhodens which would have prevented the whole thing.
Now Nash is saying that George didn't like how his family was run and that he fought with Billy over it and tried to talk the 3 out of committing the murders. If this was true George would have stopped his family from committing the murders, Nash is so full of it.
Canepa said there are wiretap recordings catching George speaking to Jake about
them - not just Angie and Billy and Jake - but them, also meaning George - being in trouble, and that Jake should have smashed his laptop and thrown away his phone.
It won't be hard for the State to prove that George was going along with his family's Murder Conspiracy. They have 8,000 recordings of interest. Remember these few quotes from George? Scheiderer said they have incriminating statements from George. These are only a few, there will be 100's more I think because they have 8,000 of interest.
Incriminating statements:
1.) If they have the gun they have the silencer. (After Scheiderer sent George a photo of a gun BCI thought was used in the murders.)
2.) I told you to get rid of your phone.
3.) We have a family emergency. (After Scheiderer sent George the gun photo.)
4.) Don't come down here we have company.
5.) Jake's always getting us in trouble over some woman.
6.) I want to bash Scheiderer's face in.
7.) Make Reader pay make DeWine pay - violent tendencies Scheiderer said.
8.) We're being bugged don't say anything till we get home.
9.) I bought a night scope.
10.) I bought a Captain America mask.
11.) Making fun of Jake's religion many times = they don't celebrate Halloween so what was the mask for?
12.) Those not arrested will break the others out of jail.
13.) We will take revenge against anyone who goes against us.
Canepa said in her closing argument at the Bond Hearing that George's buying a night scope made it convenient to shoot people in bed in the middle of the night. Well it was dark when he was standing in Dana's house with everyone in bed.
