Glad this much is over, it's a huge step. It will never be over for the families, but this is a step.

After we learned more early on, I kept a space open for all the Ws as suspects. Many people did, but someone was always there to tamp down suspicions.

<modsnip>

We suspected they were here, too. There was a big push to name the Manleys as suspects. A lot of other theories were pushed. They were also the only ones who trash-talked the victims. Implied they were a terrible family, corrupt, dealing hard drugs and rumors (false) of incest. Once the Wags went to Alaska, it tapered off.

We know there was a 9mm and a .30 caliber rifle at CR's, and a .22 at FR's. Just from memory, I could be wrong.

Yes, and the prosecution assumed the .30 was GW4's as he was a "Glock man". IIRC, the .30 was used on Gary Rhoden. His autopsy report noted he was killed with larger caliber bullets.

Junk speaking.

Says today is the 5th Anniversary of the murders.

I am stunned! But Praise the Lord! Justice, finally for the Rhoden, Gilley, and Manley families!

Did he have to alocute? (sp?)

The .30 cal is believed to be the SKS rifle, most likely with the night vision scope that was purchased.

9mm is a pistol round, but there are 9mm rifles as well.

A 9mm round is wider than a .30 cal round, but the .30 cal rifle round can be much heavier and use a larger powder charge.

So I wouldn't be sure which they are calling larger, the .30 may have done more damage.

More often than not, a Glock will be a 9mm.

Thread title now begins with "Guilty".

State agrees to dismiss if Jake agrees to testify truthfully against the other defendants.

Wow!! This is the best scenario for the trials that we could have hoped for, as I think we'll get way more information than we would have had someone not flipped. I just didn't think it would be Jake.
