Grandmother charged with forging custody documents in Pike Co. massacre returns to court

Obstruction of justice is second degree misdemeanor. punishable 90 days jail max or fine, court costs, restitution.

Asking RN if she understands it all, as well as possible penalty.

Lol, RN is kind of arguing with the judge. Asking if he was quoting maximums, but not more than.

She says she understands. Penalties Judge quoted are maximum. If she agrees to ameded charges here in court, they will permit that. She discussed with Gerlach.

She says she agrees to amended charge of Count 4 - Obstruction of Justice.

Where can I go to watch Rita live? Anyone?

Watch

I wonder what FW is doing this afternoon?

RN said she felt its not a good Christian thing to lie. Her change is voluntary, plea of guilty.

Says no one has promised her anything for pleading guilty to reduced charge.

Rita flipped. She is going to cooperate with the State. Angela set her mom up. Rita's signature was faked!!!!

Now I get why Angela told Rita not to testify against them in those phone calls--she was afraid her mom would flip!!!

Wow just wow.....

Not surprising that AW would do that.

Gerlach wants a copy of something. Audio of agreement? IDK

If docs were notarized, RN still did that in a fraudulent manner. State is dropping that charge, though as part of the deal.

 

[Betty P]

Great news, but I have to run. Will catch up with all of you later!

Newcomb has acknowledged that she was not the individual who signed the 3 separate custody documents at issue in the case. Newcomb is a notary. She had been asked to say that it was her signature by Angela Wagner, her daughter, according to prosecution

******
The custody/guardianship documents in question granted custody to an individual should the parents of the children die. Those documents, according to the indictment, were signed 19 days before the Rhoden murders. @Local12
*****
The documents appointed a guardian for the daughter of Hanna Rhoden and Jake Wagner and the son of Jake's brother, George, in the event of their deaths. (Don't be surprised with the prosecution says Angela Wagner was the appointed guardian on those documents) @Local12

Thought he said Grand Jury, but not sure.

 

[Betty P]

Amended charge of obstructing official business comes from the fact she admitted she lied to the Grand Jury about signatures.

She's pleading guilty to 2 charges - Obstruction of Justice and Obstructing Official Business.

No sentencing today, hearing later.

AC requests she remain on bond, but allow her to get rid of house arrest and ankle monitor. Other conditions remain - she can't talk to others in the case, including Fredericka, or 4 Ws. Gerlach wanted RN to be able to talk to Fredericka.

No contact with all previously ordered to have no contact with, including victim's families.

BREAKING...

Pike County grandmother accused of covering up Rhoden family murders agrees to plea deal

"..Rita Newcomb has reached a plea deal with the state. She will be found guilty of obstructing official business. All other charges will be dropped.. "

Just in:

Rita off house arrest no ankle monitor...still under pre-trial services.

Rita's signatures on custody documents were faked

Angie asked mom to take the fall...
Rita decided not to go to jail for Angie.
(can't make this stuff up)

Bail conditions remain in place: no contact with Wagners -including Fredericka. No contact with victims' families. Must still report to pre-trial services officer. @Local12
***********
Asst. Attorney General Angie Canepa says the obstruction charge is related to Newcomb lying to investigators and then lying to the grand jury about the documents. Sentencing is being deferred. The ankle bracelet for house arrest will be removed. @Local12

Watch

Thank you Cool Cats, I went straight over there and got to watch what I think was close to the ending. It was very interesting.

 

[Mind your biscuits]

Well, chucked under the bus by your own mother, nice one RN. Moo

 

[Momof4RN]

Thank you to all who translated todays wonderful news.
I guess I have to just imagine what AW’s face looks like today.

‘IANAL but if she admits it wasn’t her signature then she didn’t notarize it and therefore it’s only her word. AW must have used the stamp and copied RN’s signature. At least the docs are now known to be forged.

Maybe, but her daughter threw her under that bus first. Moo I'm glad she came clean, and I think that she is relieved.

No prob.
I will look for a copy. There are always videos put out of the Hearings. So you can see the whole thing.

 

[Dudly]

I would be willing to bet sentencing was delayed so AC can see how much RN will spill the beans. AC said RN will provide the Prosecution with info. in exchange for the other charges being dropped...
