I think the idea to kill Hanna came from Jake.
The idea to wipe them all out came from Billy.
The idea to forge the custody documents came from Angie.
George was just along for the ride.
Generally the most vocal of a group is the one who has the most to prove. Think of a gang. The truly mean ones don't talk about killing someone, they just do it. The weakest or whimpiest (if that is even a word) are the most vocal egging on the tougher ones to do the killing.
I see Billy as being the meanest out of this group. In addition I see Billy and George as being close and Angie and Jake as being close.
George strikes me as being very insecure so therefore has to "talk" the most violent to show his dad that he is tough. He also tries to please his dad whenever he can.
So the way I see it is:
Billy is the tough guy, he doesn't talk about it, he just does it. Billy will not break and he will not take a plea deal.
George follows Billy and encourages him and tries to prove he is just like him by talking the talk. George's allegiance will shift to his attorneys who will then become his father figures. They will advise him to take a plea deal and George will do so to please them and get a chance of getting out early to be with his son.
Angie is the smart one. She tries to figure everything out and Billy listens to her. She is the schemer. Angie will not break and she will protect Jake at all costs.
Jake is the manipulator. He is the one who wants something and manipulates everyone around him to get what he wants. He is the one who makes up lies, and plays the victim to get everyone to go along with what he wants. In this crime Jake is the center who sucked his tough guy dad and follower brother and scheming mother and gullible grandmothers into this whole thing. Jake will continue to lie and try to manipulate his way out of this.

G4 had the most to lose, and it looks as if he's lost it, his son. He already had custody of B. If he stayed loyal to the family, and risked losing his son, who he claims "is his whole world, and I'd not know what to do w/o him" (See G4's FB, loosely quoting), then I think he'll stay loyal now. I believe he'll think the others are staying loyal too.
Something else, on another note, that keeps running around my brain; "There was an obsession with custody of the children," Dewine said, "There was an obsession of control of the children." plural. Makes me think they've talked with TB. I also think that it's possible someone encouraged TB to file those docs, so G4 would be definitely be around. Odd timing on that filing, then it disappeared, iirc.
