If G4 was present on Rhoden property and armed with a gun (which we know from Jake), nothing Angela said will help him. The state has subpoenaed Silas Wagner, who will testify that Jake and George came to him to buy the murder truck. He signed the fake custody papers in case he died during the massacre. And Angela testified that he left with the other two and came back with them.
And--the conspiracy is more than the actual murders; it also involves planning, preparing, doing things like disabling security cameras and jamming cell signals, and covering up. If he burned his clothes--guilty. Jake testified that he helped put the guns in concrete--guilty. She testified DIRECTLY that she, Billy, Jake and George were all involved in planning and covering up the massacre. I don't see why people think George is going to walk free.

The concern I think, is that George could walk away from murder convictions if the jury doesn't believe Angela and especially believe Jake. I think people have been looking for the "smoking gun" in this trial for evidence that directly shows George's envolvement.
Instead, what it looks like is the co-defendant's testimony is what explains George's involvement. Explains specifically how he was involved. There are dozens of co-defendant statements backing up the prosecution's
Murder Conspiracy charge against George and placing George at the murder scenes that night.
The circumstantial evidence alone by itself against George - without Jake and Angela's testimony - could make him look guilty but might not be enough to some jurors to meet the necessary "beyond a reasonable doubt" threshold.
I think the co-defendant's testimony pushes the charges against George past the "guilty beyond a reasonable doubt" threshold. Their testimony makes George look guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt."
I see all kinds of circumstantial evidence against George but only one piece of direct evidence - his signature on fake custody documents.

Where can I find out how the defense tried to make Jake's testimony look like lies against George? What were the defense's questions to Jake? Without being able to watch or hear I don't know how the defense tried to discredit Jake, and now, Angie on the stand.
Does anyone have any good media information on this with links?
Without Angela's and especially Jake's testimony George's lawyers had a chance. But if the jury believes their testimony, then the lawyers must realize George will be found guilty. Angela and Jake are sending George to prison on a silver platter, right into the prosecution's lap.
I'm loving it!
