11/4/22 Evidentiary Hearing: Prosecutor Wilson also says the defense will get the case Monday or Tuesday. A black 2010 GMC pickup truck sent sparks flying Friday morning in the trial. During a hearing Friday, with the jury out, it seemed evident that Wagner's defense team plans to argue their client was too big six years ago to fit under the false pickup bed. "I'm not a farmer," attorney John Parker said. "I don't pretend to be one. But I do know that bales of hay weigh a certain amount. I'm told 40, 50 pounds is not unusual for a bale of hay." The defense team criticized prosecutors for not being more forthcoming with photos of investigators recreating the false truck bed. Prosecutors said the photos show that someone who's 6 feet tall & weighs 252 pounds, which is how big George was six years ago, could easily fit in the back of the truck.
Judge Deering says if he allows truck pictures, jury needs to be instructed to provide weight as they see fit. On the transcripts and snippets - they have the weekend to review. He is going to allow truck pictures as long as foundation laid with jury instruction.

Aside from that issue, Deering recognized the defense team needs additional time to review extensive wiretap recordings (2018 wiretap transcripts recorded while JW & GW4 were driving for R+L Carriers). As a result, he sent jurors home without hearing any testimony Friday. Final decision on the transcripts & wiretap snippets would be played will be made Monday. Defense will be calling their witnesses starting Monday - out of order but the jury will be made aware of that.
