Angela's half-brother testifies in trial of his nephew, George Wagner IV 

He did a great job, he is a great witness! Wish all the best for him and his family!! Thank you sir for your honesty!

He is just a good guy who has been dragged into this mess by some evil people. He didn’t deserve to have his life turned upside down either.

This is a truly a "Good Ole Boy" He is humble, funny, sensitive, good father, husband/??😉. i Someone I would want in and around my family. How did his sister become such a evil person. I believe if not for her all 8 victims would still be with us.

The fact that this sweet man is Angela’s brother is mind boggling.

Kinda ironic that Angela thought he was a bad influence on her sons when she was the truly evil one helping 2 plan a murder

I know Chris personally and he is a hell of a guy. Super respectable dude

I am from South Point, not too far from where this happened. It has boggled my mind what happened to these victims. This witness is such a nice, down to earth, humble guy and very believable.

This guy seems like such a stand up guy. His wife and kids and family are extremely blessed to have such a good guy.

This guy appears to be a decent and honest guy, who definitely does not agree with what his half sister and her family did. He's sincere and believable and likely ashamed of his extended family for killing these poor 8 people. I really like this guy and I think he'll be a very important part of the prosecution's case.

Man I had to come here to say that this dude has to be so appreciated by EVERY person in that courtroom and around the country watching… To bring genuine levity to such a tragic situation for him… protect this man at all cost. I just wanna buy him a beer

If only every witness was this likeable. Sir don't let life change you are a Good Man!!!

Chris is just a good ol country boy talks real prayers for y'all involved

He seems to be a good guy! I think he’s a bit nervous which is why he’s trying to be funny in some of his answers. I feel bad for him!

Uncle Chris did wonderful on the stand.

Only a few minutes in and this chill guy seems like the real deal. Nice to see.

He's a straight up tell ya how it is guy g he did a good job I give him good strength for going on the stand and telling the truth I feel he is truthfully God bless you chris

This man is so honest for his testimony, salute to you Bro, MAY GOD ALMIGHTY IS ALWAYS BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

No one should have to be put through having to testify against your family but that is on them you did a great job.

I feel so sorry for this gentleman and have the up most respect for his honesty. This has to be so difficult for him. It’s his family on trial for murder. They Murdered his friend and her family. Including her child. It is disgusting!

He's a nice man who seems to be a very humble and a sweet and caring family man. It's so unfortunate those individual's made this dark decision that's ruined and changed lives forever. Peace and comfort to all who remain effected by this unbelievably sad tragedy. My heart is broken along with yours. Only time can heal this kind of pain. Rest in Peace.

So George stood up against his parents then why if he didn't want to be involved with killing 8 people didn't he stand up 2 them on that..or even turn them in b4 they went thru with the murders

What a sweet guy. So sorry he was put in this situation!

He is sweet!! Got such good personality. Well I know for sure George was involved now if not why dye his hair dark to. Seems like everyone that knows them knows the family dynamic also.

There is nothing funny about this trial.

Thank you for putting this on here, I think the only way to have transparency in our courts is videos such as these.

You did a wonderful job Mr Newcome I enjoyed your demeanor.

Being his half sister it is easy to say that he received the nice genetics while his sister received the evil. So many victims beyond those murdered…evil has no conscience. Good to see this man was not afraid to do the right thing and did what he could to get justice for the victims

I’m guessing he doesn’t like BW…😂😂😂

I was going to watch few mins. but Chris got me hooked on him. I’m old enough to be his parent & I would love to listen to his stories. He is articulated & has a good sense of humour. Sadly he lost a whole bunch of people in one day. I hope he focuses on his family & his new job. Best of luck Chris ♥️🌈🇨🇦

Mr. Newcomb you did an amazing job with your testimony! You seem like such an honest, kind man. Also very funny! Angela's father and your father must be as different as daylight and dark. Thank you for your time. I'm terribly sorry you've had to deal with knowing your family killed those people . Some of who were your friends and never did anything to deserve this!!

You were betrayed. The people you are to love and trust the most are the ones that shatter your exsistance. You weren't a fool for standing and defending them. The integrity you show here alone is impressive. I wish you peace so you can heal in this journey.

Chris gave an amazing testimony, very intelligent and well-spoken. I have nothing but great respect for him.

He seems like a decent man. WTAF happened to the rest of the family? What a horrible thing, all of this.

ANGELA'S HALF-BROTHER SEEMS TO BE A VERY NICE AND FRIENDLY YOUNG MAN...EVERYONE 👌 SHOULD HAVE HIS ATTITUDE...IT WAS A 🙏 ☺️ PLEASURE LOOKING AND LISTENING TO HIM

Chris seems like a really likeable guy 💙 Prayers for you and your family ❤️🙏❤️

What a great guy!!! Too bad his nephews weren’t like him.

Prayers to the the family and friends of the victims

So sorry but I believe he knows more than he is saying

When Honesty takes the witness stand. I believe each and every word this man has said. What a great guy!

You are right Chris it is a Monstrous.act.

Fine example of,. No matter how charming, a snake is still a snake 🐍

I don't know I don't think he's so transparent . Little shady I wouldn't take stock in everything he said .

Prosecutor wins the Guinness book of worlds records for saying the phrase “can you tell us” more times than any human on earth in a single space of time.

after hearing Jake's accounting of the chain of events... please don't get me wrong i despise Jake! But I was such a fan of this dude! now... Does anyone feel like he didn't stay true under oath? is it just me? shinning deer (btw illegal) poaching.. I always felt like these are the same thing! Then there's the wreck that nearly killed Chris! Angela (prosecutor) ask if he knew it was planned? he didn't really lie but did he? idk he said it wasn't on purpose on his end... question was did he know that was the plan?

I watch so many trials and testimonies, and I have to say hearing “useless as tits on a boat hog” during testimony made my week. 😂 I love this guy.

Is he a witness for the Defense? It:s George's trial and he seems to have only good things to say about him.

He’s a real gem. Smiling 🙂 like 👍🏽 it’s all good. Super psycho.

1:23: I know this is a serious matter but the way this witness did an impression on how Beth would make eye contact was hysterical!

He has the most gorgeous eyes

He seems like a jolly guy who makes a good friend, I'm sure he has many friends he's nice to be around with

He comes across as a very honest individual who was grossly betrayed by all of that evil family. I applaud him for speaking the truth about them all, its sad that he lost what he thought was his best mate/brother. I dont think it was possible that George didnt know what was going on , he was in all the meetings etc, and has to be somewhat guilty, even if he didnt pull any triggers.

Go back now, knowing that he was involved in their scam(s) with them, and watch from 40:30...The tells, and the signs of deception he exhibits are glaring. IMMEDIATELY he starts getting fidgety, touching his face, swiveling back and forth, deep breaths, fake yawns, his blink rate increases dramatically at times, he starts to look down-breaking eye contact, often.) All the sudden, his memory; which was failsafe until this point, starts to fail him. He was in a life threatening accident, but wasn't immediately sure if it was just he and Jake in the truck? His truck "broke down" and he called George to come get him. He "can't remember" if George took the truck back, or where George was at the time of the accident?? Jake either swerved to MISS a deer, or they actually HIT a deer...he can't remember?? (He can't remember which story they told the insurance investigator, that's what he can't remember.) How many millions of times has the "swerved to miss a ..." story been used in the history of time, right? He admits to going to a doctor to get pills and then (seemingly unknowingly) admits to selling them to Billy. The fake yawn at around 49:32 that he does is cringeworthy. (He does a couple of those along the way after the wreck story, when he's nervous.) When she asks he if he poached deer with them, it's almost comical, the look on his face when he answers, and how fast he starts swiveling in the chair. This guy is a liar, he's a schemer, and he seems to have fooled quite a few people along the way.

Wow. What a guy. Glad he spoke the truth on how he saw it. You can tell his love for his nephew is strong and he's sad.

Seems like a stand up fella. He's believable and I bet he's got some colorful stories to tell. I like him.

This defense attorney is smart he knows this guy's got a good sense of humor he's playing into it. He also knew he was really close to George. The prosecutor was smart too she pretty much showed how easily George was persuaded by people.

This kid seems so genuine, and is truly ashamed by his family members that did this. He seems to speak kindly of George tho. Is George supposed to be guilty in this also?

You could tell he was clear identify it’s his half-sister, and considering he calls his “wife” who isn’t legally his wife, that says something

Great job Chris. My kind of people. Hard to believe that he and Angela have the same mother.

Angela is just Heartless.

Oh they filled the hole in the wall. For me it still begs the question why George if so emanzipated from his mum was okay with her awful behaviour regarding his then wife. It's strange that he was ok for his wife to leave the bedroom every night and for mummy to come in and give him back scratches and telling them how to raise their son...

Dude details a horrific car crash he was involved in and then notes that he doesn't like flying lol

His eyes remind me of Jason mamoa! He’s hilarious…yeeyee!

I don’t understand how one person can make a deal for the rest… jake pleads guilty as long as everyone avoids the death penalty???

I don’t get where the attorney was going with her questions. It just went on and on. A lot about the witness himself.

Very good witness! I really like this guy

I feel so sad for him what his family is putting him through I know it's unimaginable but thank you your testimony was enlightening

The prosecutor SUCKS!!!!! Worst attorney I’ve seen yet ! I look for her to loose this one !

It seems like George was kind of used by his family. I feel like they knew they needed to include him, because it was too big of a plan to be able to hide from him, but on the other hand... its likely they knew if the made him involved, they knew he wouldn't tell anyone because he would have to implicate himself, too. I don't even think George was able to pull the trigger on any of the victim's (I remember seeing somewhere that only Billy and Jake actually shot anyone). I definitely get the feeling that this is something George would have never done without the pressure of his family. I don't think its something he even wanted to take part in. By no means am I saying he's not just as responsible for this horrific tragedy as his brother, father, and mother... I'm just saying that it seems like George was pulled into something he didn't really want to be a part of. Ofcouse he could have went to police once he knew that his parents and brother were talking about and planning these murders, and there is no justification for him not doing that. I get the sense that he was brought up to not go against family no matter what, and even even he doesn't agree with them, he goes along anyway. Jake seems like he was more like his mother... always wanting to be in control of any situation, being overly picky and needing things to be his way or no way, where George seems more like a go-with-the-flow type.

Angela's step brother is phenomenal! He is as honest and genuine as the day is long. And he has absolutely got a rural street-smarts to him that has helped him navigate a rough road. That's amazing since he's been surrounded by miscreants all his life.

He seems like a great guy..but needs to realize he's in a courtroom. And making jokes on the stand is not funny.

Don't forget that Billy's trial Is Next.

I wanna know about these pills from the fat doctor. I’m fat. Lol.

Angela ask George in one of the wiretaps if he'd taken care of the truck Chris stole. Heard Jake implicated Chris in several family scams including the truck accident insurance fraud. Chris is a charming but I think he's not as innocent as he is trying to come off. I think his family committing these murders has scared him enough to get a real job and stop his " horse trading" ways. He'll be lucky if insurance company doesn't come after him. IMO

Does the prosecution have to start every question with aaaaaan

Can't understand the guy. Is he speaking rednecky English?.

Love him sooooo much!

The granny arrested in connection to this massacre lives with this guy.

I can't focus on testimony for the constant "Um and AAAND" from THE PROSECUTOR. Somebody in her office should talk to her!

Chris is a gem , such a sweetheart.

I like this man! I would want him as my friend if he was near. God bless him!

Ole Ma Barker (Angela Wagner) came alive w/same controlling and putting fear in everyone that she was around. This guy seems to be justa good ole boy.. leaving the farm to trade "stuff" lol

I believe there is a bias undertone here. Sort of good old boys. The woman attorney seems frustrated with it. I feel like the defence is playing a grade school game of girls against the boys instead of grown professional attorneys.

Unpretentious which is refreshing

I’m sure this guy is nice and treats people around him with kindness but this trial is no joking matter. Maybe humor is just his way of coping with stress and anxiety. Kudos to him for getting on the stand and having to speak out against people you love!

How can a Prosecutor Stumble Thru Questions so Much? Half of these questions to Angela's brother She Never Knew what his answers would be!! This is serious, How could she call him and ask so many family dynamics questions but not know what he would answer? This is a Rediculious way to approach this job. Her co-worker Does A Much Better Job, and He Should Have Been Questioning Many More Witnesses. He Would have Done A Much Better Job With Opening Statements Also! This Prosecutor seems like she's nice to Angela's family, jolly & laughing. But She Treated Dana's family with Zero Sympathy. She had an image failure in her opening, it was pretty Ummm Ummm Ummm Ummm Awful, Jumpy, Jumbled & seemed practiced. I think she spent more on her hair than the demonstration items.

At 1.00 in vid notice look Chris gives George when he talks about FB pic of a wolf with one eye. Seeing Ken Roden was shot through the eye Pure disgust in Chris' expression.

He felt Bamboozled , that’s the word he was thinking of but couldn’t remember and said betrayed.

What a nice..honest..humble guy. The kind of guy you like to be around. I feel bad for him that his family turned out to be murderers. What a tragic deal. He knows George was involved hence the answer to the would you love to have him back into your home.....umm that would be a little to close 👍

What a nice man he is. I believe he's telling the truth.

Good job! Now this is a real man!

He comes across as a good guy. There’s something about his personality humble and down to earth.

I just imagine the prosecutor would get more out of Chris if George wasn't present...

Good Lord! Who is scribbling by a microphone?!!!

This female prosecutor is so annoying! She’s horrible! Takes her 20 minutes to ask a question.

how is there ALWAYS someone coughing during a trail??

This witness didn’t help the prosecution, if not he hurt them, he is obviously showing the George was a good guy and wouldn’t follow Angela.

I really like this guy

we done hunt and fish wit each other and yeah we all related to each other up in them hills.

You can tell this is the type of guy that if you were broke down in the side of the road, he would stop, and do his best to get you up, and running.

“ them teeth grindin” LMAO 😅😅😅😅😅 he’s hilarious 😅
