OH - Pike Co - 8 in Rhoden Family Murdered Over Custody Issue - 4 Wagner Family Members Arrested #84

Can't believe AC didn't object to comments about TC, as her health is not relevant to this case. IMO

I am curious if George was treated for the STD he mentioned Tabby had. If Tabby was treated and he wasn't then just maybe she got it again because she was sleeping with George who maybe wasn't treated. I guess mentioning this is to somehow show Tabby was not a good person. She already testified that she cheated on George.

I notice that George is chatty. I wonder how this will go when the state gets their turn. He is asked a simple question and he goes on and on.

I also see George is just staring right at him, not looking around at all.

I also see some smirks and facial expressions I wonder if it's a nervous thing like Jake had?

If he looks beyond Parker, he sees the victim's family.

If I had to match G4's voice to his face, I would be wrong.

Edit: moo .. I think the prosecution might be able to get him riled up. He seems to get hotter when talking about things that he doesn't like.

 

[Betty P]

No errand could be as important!

I listened on my cell phone.

See the trick the defense team pulled here? They knew secretly they were going to put GW4 on the stand to testify. In preparation, they pulled all of that delaying BS over the evidence so that the prosecution was exhausted from working long hours. They have short notice to put together cross-examination with little sleep and lots of exhaustion.

I'm not believing anything GW4 says and I doubt the jury believes him either.

It's disgusting how he pretends he and Hanna were such good friends, when there's tons of evidence to show otherwise.

Also amazing how well rehearsed this dog and pony show is. They've been working on this for some time, while using BS tactics to drive the prosecution team and judge to exhaustion.

To me, George's testimony comes across as rehearsed sour grapes about Jake, Billy, Angela and Tabby. Everyone else is to blame, not GW4. At this point, I don't think jury will buy what he is selling.

Robotic. Well oiled machine. Diesel machine. IMO

TC is not on trial here!!! IMO

What is great is he is opening a lot of doors for the prosecution to get him on cross. Imo.

Well right there is a rift between AW and her mother-in-law. Burning the house FW wanted to lease to someone else, and telling AW to move out of it.

moo

 

[Betty P]

I'm assuming the prosecution can call in witnesses again to refute this testimony. They should do that.

Maybe at lunch break, they should bring Tabitha in to sit in the audience.

ETA: Did Billy really have $50,000 to put down on the MO house? Who gave him that money? Freddie? Even though she knew they were under "laser focus" for murdering 8 people.

 

[arielilane]

IMO, if GW4 didn't care so much for his family why didn't he take his gal and son and his CDL... jobs were plentiful and leave?

Thinking the same here. I hope it's not exhaustion as Betty said, but that's still dirty of Parker if that's what they intended. (but I think it was) moo

Edit: break in the feed! arrrgh

Oh I have full confidence the state is ready for this. I think getting a chance to cross him will wire any of them up as if they were on George's caffiene! I bet they could get no sleep and still come out firing on all cylenders. They had to have this in their mind the entire trial. I think they already have a plan for how to get him fired up.

Start with talking about what he seems to like to talk about.
Then talk about Jake and Billy.

If my family mixed me up in something that had me facing the death penalty, I be chucking them under the bus as fast and hard as I could chuck.

100% agreed. Unfortunately. This is truth. IMO

 

[Tena]

So if he hated being there, and had potential of making good money, why didn't he move out and away from them. What kept him there? The answer will be interesting.

 

[Dudly]

I am right there with you on that. I want to see hard solid proof on george, not a bunch of pictures. We all know 8 people were murdered and after they described how many shots, where they were, not much else to say about that.

JMO

What if there is no hard solid evidence that he did not participate?

 

[arielilane]

He said his brother set the fire. George said he wasn't sure when they were going to do it, but one day when he was working on a truck, the fire started and he thought well here they go "burning another house"

Yeah, but he's a grown man. If he was so pure and principled he should have reported them.

Also, poachers are scumbags, criminals. Real hunters look down on them and routinely report them to state game officials. At least that's how it was where I grew up. Making your kids poach is even worse.

 

[ColMustard]

Paying bills by money order. No bank accounts? moo

Moo edit moo: I guess the temptation was too much to have a box full of blank checks!

 

[Betty P]

How does he counter confessions from AW and Jake?

Is he going to have Billy plead guilty and confess that precious GW4 wasn't involved?

Every chance he gets he is throwing digs at his brother, mother, and father. It just doesn't line up with the conversations we heard on wire tap. He might feel this way now about them, but I really question if he just hated everyone so much while he was living there because he never left. All this stuff just happening around him and he didn't like it, agree with it, or want it to happen, but he stayed.
