Yes. There is no evidence against George. But I bet that jury is as sick as I am of hearing Jake and Angie's names and seeing all the stuff they bought to make silencers and commit murder with. Every bit of the evidence in the last 27 trial days has been against Jake and Angie.

George is lucky is to get an honorable mention and it is George's trial. It's all Jake and Angela Wagner. every day, all day, day in and day out.

Think about how much evidence AC has against Jake and Angie versus George. Might clear up some confusion for you.

JMO
I've heard lots about GWIV. A lot of the testimony so far has been laying foundational facts about evidence needed to be in place for AW and Jake's testimony. It's Jake who has confessed to being at the murder scenes with his father and brother. The way he described in the proffer what happened that night was given as a synopsis for the jury in AC's opening statement. The actions of the players have been briefly but clearly explained. Now the jury just has to hear it from the horse's mouth, so to speak.

GWIV at the very least is a conspirator to aggravated burglary and murder. Personally I think it's a real possibility that GWIV killed KR. But thst's just my opinion.

You think AW would take the risk of leaving those grandkids in the hands of their mom TC and little SR's remaining R family members? I find that to go against everything she planned for. She was going to be the momma now to HR's child. She'd never jeopardize that by being at those kill scenes. AJMO

I think AW never thought for one second she would ever get caught and go to jail. She believed whole heartedly she was way smarter than everyone including PCSO and never expected Sheriff Reader to call in BCI.

So yes I do think she was there and i do think she is the one who shot that SKS at Chris Sr's house. I also think Animi took great pleasure in putting those 5 bullets into Nana's head.

She also said she didn't buy shoes for her sons in that same interview.

JMO
But we know from the video she did in fact buy them at Walmart. I can't wait to hear the
GWIV /JW tapes from the trucking trips. Maybe they mention the lousy shoes mom brought us, lol

A size 10.5 mens shoe = a size 9 womens shoe. I can go with that

A lot of women wear a size 9 shoe. My sister does. Princess Diana did. So it is very possible that Angie wore that size 10 1/2 mens shoe that equals a size 9 womens shoe.

And yes I do hope and pray they take both Angie and Jake down. They were behind it all.

JMO
IMO, a conspiracy of Billy, Angela, Jake and George were behind the massacre of 8 innocent people and I am confident they will all go down together with the trial evidence presented as part of a very sick enmeshed Family Conspiracy.

So far the trial has presented a very clear picture of the evidence of all of their unhealthy involvement in each others lives. Angela even tried to control their sex lives. Angela ran off all of their girlfriends and wives. That speaks volumes to me.

Their convoluted finances are also damning.

I believe the Prosecution is saving the best for last:)

JMO

PS - I am tired too.

Well I respectively disagee...especially after seeing the test silencer not work very well. Maybe that's what made her decide, nope not me, I got babies to raise. She'd never put herself where bullets were flying when she had two toddlers to mold. I just don't think she would take that chance. It goes against all her planning. AJMO

IMO, if she was that concerned about the raising of BW and SW she would not have gotten anywhere close to the murder scenes.

I firmly believe she was the one at home on the Peterson farm 'taking care' of the children.
She was also managing the cell phone activity and TV viewing while the other 3 were at the murder scenes.

But yet he was right on target when he put those bullets in Frankie and Hazels heads. No problem with a too heavy silencer there.

JMO
Correct me if I am wrong, but a Glock and a SKS were used at the scene of CRsr's murders. A 1911 was used on Frankie and HHG. The stray shots at CRsr's were from the SKS, a semi automatic rifle.

They both might have had silencers, but they were also shot at different proximities to the victims. The SKS shots were from CRsr's front yard, through a door, at a moving victim. The 1911 shots that killed Frankie and HHG were up close and personal at sleeping victims.

Not seeing why, after all we have heard about Angie's involvement in these murders, why anyone would want to defend her.

For 27 trial days all the evidence is against Jake and Angie, I am really sick of hearing those two names. If you can't see by now, in every day of testimony that Jake and Angie were behind all of this, how they schemed and planned everything, then I am at a loss for words.

Angie was not the sweet little grandma who stayed home and took care of the kids. She is a cold bloodied murderer who was right there with a gun killing right along side her mentally ill son Jake.

but to each his own opinion.

You are entitled to your opinion.

IMO, no one is defending Angie. She was an integral part of the Conspiracy. All four had their parts and the murders would not have been able to be completed without the participation of each and every one of the W4.

She's as guilty as the ones that fired the guns. That's the conspiracy. I will never agree with what I think is a much too lenient sentence that AW got. She should never of even had the chance to be released from prison, IMO. Anyone that planned, aided and then tried to covered up these heinous crimes should be in prison for life. AJMO

Another point to make is (and not directed at your BettyP, your post just triggered my thoughts)
ALL 4 of them lied to BCI including George! So to claim Angela lied before so why is she telling the truth now is really not a great excuse for not believing George participated because he lied also. If let's say he had no idea till the next day like the defense said on opening, why did he move to Alaska with his murdering family members? Why did he lie to bCI at the border crossing and say he'd never seen those shoes before? If Angela did buy them and show the boys, but they were "old man shoes" so she tossed them, then he would have seen them before. The defense can't really claim that Jake and Angela are liars so why believe them now, when George lied about things and here we are now supposed to believe the narrative the defense will put up about him not knowing about this plan. Nope don't think so.
Defense wants the jury to believe JW and AW are liars except for when they are saying something to benefit their client. I would like to hear how they determine which parts should be believed and why the rest are lies…

I remember Billy in that interview talking about how Chris Sr wasn't a big guy but strong and fast. He "would climb right up you like a banty rooster climbing up (King Kong or Godzilla). Something like that. Said he wasn't a big guy but he could really fight.
Does he know that from personal experience? MOO…

Related, but unrelated question.

Fredericka Wagner's charges were dismissed without prejudice so she can be charged again. Here is the entries in her court file that I wanted to comment on.

06/26/2019REPLY IN SUPPORT OF THE STATE'S MOTION TO LIMIT PRODUCTION OF GRAND JURY TRANSCRIPTS FILED
06/26/2019MEMORANDUM CONTRA DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO COMPEL DOCUMENTS RELATING TO THE SEARCH OF FREDERICKA WAGNER'S RESIDENCE ON MAY 13, 2017 FILED
06/26/2019MEMORANDUM CONTRA DEFENDANT'S OMNIBUS MOTION REGARDING THE CONDUCT OF PRETRIAL DISCOVERY BY THE STATE OF OHIO FILED
06/26/2019MOTION TO DISMISS WITHOUT PREJUDICE FILED Attorney: ROBERT JUNK Attorney: CANEPA, ANGELA R
06/26/2019JOURNAL ENTRY -- UPON MOTION OF THE STATE OF OHIO, THE COURT GRANTS AN ORDER OF PROTECTION AND DECORUM FOR THE WITHIN PROCEEDINGS; COUNSEL SHALL NOT MAKE ANY PUBLIC STATEMENTS REGARDING THIS MATTER UNLESS SAME ARE MADE ON THE COURT RECORD; COUNSEL SHALL NOT PROVIDE ANY STATEMENTS OR INFORMATION TO ANY SOURCE WHICH MAY IN ANY WAY INFLUENCE ANY PRETRIAL PUBLICITY IN THIS RESPECTIVE MATTER; THIS ORDER SHALL REMAIN IN EFFECT PENDING FURTHER ORDER OF THE COURT AND SHALL SURVIVE THE DISMISSAL OF THIS ORDER FILED COPIES FILED RETD TO COUNSEL AND PARTIES
06/26/2019DISMISSAL ENTRY -- UPON WRITTEN APPLICATION OF THE STATE OF OHIO, AND FOR REASONS STATED ON THE RECORD, THE STATE OF OHIO REQUESTED THAT THE ABOVE-NAMED CASE BE DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE; FOR GOOD CAUSE SHOWN, IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT THIS ACTION BE, AND HEREBY IS, DISMISSED, WITHOUT PREJUDICE FILED COPIES FILED RETD TO COUNSEL AND DEFENDANT

So who thinks that prosecution dropped the charges till the trials are over. Maybe they didn't want to release documents about the search of FW property or some other evidence in this case so not to impact the trials of the big 4? Who thinks she will face charges once the other 4 are done and sentenced?
My opinion only but I think FW will face charges unrelated to the murders…

I'm glad Ive been fortunate enough in my life to never have experienced a family as the Ws. You read about these sort of folks in books. I know JW and GWIV were groomed, conditioned by AW and BW raised these kids to be your run of the mill, theif, hustler, scammer and overall dishonest family. I imagine GW4 and JW were beaten until the capitulated and started walking the company line....Maw boss ruled the roost. You did as your told when your told. Apparently it is how they opperated their entirelife. JW and GW were given marching orders to get their woman under control. The kids need to live with us. JW was sweet on 13 year old girls yet he wanted to give advice to HR about watching SW around other men, Sicko
.
JW knew from personal experience about young girls and older men. MOO

We do have a woman's Georgia Boot and womens boot tread in discovery that has not come up. If she changed her mind, when and why? These items seem to imply that she at one time planned to be there IMO.


She couldn’t end up with Sophia if she was there and things went wrong. MOO
 
  • #658
Yes. Except it was proved in court that George did not buy any of that stuff.

JMO
If items were ordered on line or by phone, anyone could have been using JW’s credit card.

As an aside, I wonder if both Jake and Angie had some OCD.

Jake was fastidious about cleanliness. Angie shows some tenancies as she was so particular about how Tabi and Hanna cleaned and did laundry. Not only that Angie kept the shoe receipts, but she also took the time to file in the box of 'Important Papers'. If she didn't plan on returning the shoes, why would she file the receipts?

Just an observation.
All the thousands of images she and Jake saved of screenshots of peoples texts, FB messages, and other social media, transferred from older phones and computers.

Billy and GW4 were more the ones to be out hunting, shooting and killing things.
