Also something he said earlier is so bizarre. He said that dog he had went with him everywhere including hunting. He would lay at the bottom of the tree stand while he was up there. Now I'm no expert with hunting, but he also just said he spent 1000s on scent away stuff to remove all scent so deer didn't get spooked. The dog wouldn't at all alert the deer that something was off.

If he liked the Rhodens so much, why didn't he stop his family from killing them?

This is what I am waiting to hear from him. Maybe his excuse will be he couldn't stop it because he didn't know about it. I have no clue what he thinks he can prove. I still can't believe he is testifying. There must be a reason I don't see it yet. He has 22 charges to defend and what he says so far doesn't show he is innocent.

Why did your mom and brother lie and say you were involved if you weren't? Why cover it up if you found out after the fact? He yelled at Jake that he should report Jake to BCI. Then why not? Why let himself look guilty?

Because he was guilty but still blamed Jake for it. The prosecution needs to tear him to shreads. Get specific with him, bring out his temper, catch him in a lie, something. Here is the prosecution's one time chance.

I get that he had a crappy childhood but I have never listened to a more negative person in my life.

Then you have been truly blessed.

He's had it better than some others.

 

[justtrish]

Oh here we go! This is what we need to hear.

 

[dgfred]

Hey trish... maybe he sprayed the dog too.

Sgt Schultz!

Did you hear what they snuck in when discussing Vine sleeping with AW sometimes and sleeping with G4 at other times?

Asked if he went to sleep with TV or radio playing. G4 said he went to sleep every night with blue tooth headphones on.

He's claiming he didn't know anything about the family's plans to kill the Rhodens.

They're going with the defense of "my dog didn't bite you because I don't own a dog".

 

[justtrish]

Hey trish... maybe he sprayed the dog too.

Maybe so! I'll have to share this new trick with my husband who is an avid hunter.

 

[Chelly]

GW4 100% blame shifting isn't serving him well as defense strategy. Testimony sounds unbalanced and unrealistic. moo

Convenient and I don't believe it.

 

[justtrish]

OMG he just said he learned of it from his mother.

I thought it was when the friend called Jake and he gave a performance worthy of an academy award?

 

[Betty P]

Is he claiming he was out tearing down a building when everyone else was murdering the Rhodens?

There's Billy giving donuts to Vine again. Didn't realize all the other family members left. Slept at Peterson Rd.

Pro tip: It's illegal to deer hunt with dogs in most places.

Now, he is describing covering a tattoo he got as a teen. He said people picked on it. It was the C from the Cummins diesel logo. He said he covered it up with this:



He is now talking about this tattoo that prosecutors tried to tell jurors was done to commemorate the murders. He said it was just a way to cover up a tattoo he disliked that he got when he was a kid. He didn't even come up with it. The tattoo artist testified the same.

Doesn't remember if Vine was sleeping with him that night. Got up next morning and Jake said they had to go tear down the building. ? When he got back home from tearing down the building, he heard on the news the Rhodens were all dead. Billy was on the phone trying to find out what happened to the Rhodens.


Got on his 4 wheeler and went up in the woods.

No he was sleeping at 10pm that night.

OMG and now he just said his mother called to tell them to come back home, but then he says they were on the way home to get the chainsaw and when they got there the news was on saying people were murdered... No sir you are lying!

Well you don't really need them for deer. For hogs, fox, big cats, bears and such they are awesome.

Says Jake went to UHR to try to get in to see what happened.
Billy stuck around the house for a few days. He and Angie argued, so he left.
GW4 went back to work. Life back to normal. No one told him about the murders.

Oh, please.
