I imagine George would be living a different happy life had he not been born into the Angela Wagner family.

He can remember in great detail absolutely everything that will save his ass but conveniently forgets everything that makes him look like the liar he is.

He knew it was going to happen and didn't stop it. How can anybody feel sorry for him. He could of stopped it!! No excuse. They All Should be locked up for Life imo. He's just as guilty as the rest of his family.

I don’t understand how he could live with them & not know that they did those killings.

If this guy gets off I’m sure there’s one Roaden or Gilley left to get the justice for the family. They won’t wait until he’s a sleep in his bed, it will most likely take place on the steps of the court house.

If he loved his son he would have went to the law and told them what was about to go down, and he didnt. I would have saved myself and my son from being in this mess. I think a lot of Jake's problem wasn't over the little girl, it was because he couldn't have Hannah.

He conveniently forgets everything that might make him look bad 😂

I come from a family that is extremely dis functional and tryed meny times to disconnect from them but it’s not as cut and dry as people would like to think

And what kind of mother just leads her kids to a lifetime in prison? It is so very sad.

He really thinks he is so smart. He really thought he was going to walk. 😂😂😂😂

The prosecutor is not very good at her job. She’s letting him control his testimony. Besides there is no forensic evidence of him being at any of the houses where the murders occurred. I think he’s guilty of some of the murders but not all of them because that is one sick Ma Barker family. They were all involved but the prosecutor is not proving his guilt.

I think he is lying

He lied.

Prosecution is terrible. This is the best they have in Pike County?

Who are they saying George shot?

Listening to this a second time I really see how she got him to admit so many things with him thinking he’s getting away with his lies.

In the end it was that habit of hanging onto receipts that caught them all.

Anchors watching the case on TV did not get to see the 2 most important witnesses for Prosecution in the case. We really are not in the right position to understand all of the evidence. There is plenty for conviction, but we will see what jurors tell us. I don't believe for one moment that he could have been living with these family members and doing everything with them, but never had any idea they did this crime. And those statements on the tapes?

To understand how this family functioned, just watch the extremely detailed and credible testimony of Jake Wagner's ex-wife. It is a treasure trove of inside information. They decided everything together and George played a major part. Him trying to wriggle out of culpability for the murders is embarrassing to watch.

Such a liar. OMG

Canepa did great on cross. Convenient how everyone else that testified was " mistaken" when it is in conflict with George's testimony.

How can there be so much hate and evil in one family? It seems there was no love or nurturing anywhere...so sad.

He is the only one of his family members to allow video of his testimony.

I kind of think that those 2 pair of shoes that were bought were bought for Jake and billy that just seems to make sense to me and is possible. I have my doubts here with regards to George wearing them

"we" paid off "our" debts with it... and he keeps saying technically it's his mom and dads house... uh no George... technically it's in jake and your name so technically it's Jake and your house ..if he was home at 10 ish and watching a ferry movie he should have heard Billy's phone ring...

He’s slick.

Whoever this guy is that's on the stand.... he's guilty. Can't explain it but the minute I turned my tv on I got a bad vibe from this guy

Boy George didn't know anything about this crime? Mom never mentioned it during their nightly sessions of her rubbing his feet and asking him about his day? Give me a break! Jury will not fall for this nonsense, they heard from all the witnesses. You couldn't find 10 moms in this country who would falsely implicate their own child in such a crime, and she is not one of them.

I come from a NPD (Narcisistic Family System) However I have never seen a Psycho family system EVER in my life. You got Gacy, Bundi, Hell even Michael Myers but this shyt is Unfathomable to group a whole family to Merk

Lady.....Even fine up standing citizens do the same thing to avoid an inheritance tax.

prosecution sloppy trying to tie the address issue to some kind of criminal behavior. there are gun sellers who advise stuff like that (right or wrong it happens)...unfortunately haven't seen alot of the trial, but still scratching my head to what evidence is there besides the words of his brother and mother

He definitely comes from a family of con artists. Most of us would be nervous and anxious but he is cool and under control. Just skipped ahead and saw him found guilty - the jury was not fooled.

You can tell he’s protecting his wicked, evil mother.

Guilty. This lawyer sucks. She treating him like a lil boy.

Even if he said he did not want to be involved, he should have gone to the the authorities anyway. He is an accessory to the murders because he knew it was a plan.

What a family! Disgraceful! And it cost a whole other family their lives, just being involved with the Wagners. So sad…

Prosecutor making a big deal about the address. It may have been a big deal if it was a completely fictitious address where he had never lived or had no connection to but considering it was his previous address it's really not that big of a deal and a lot of places will tell you to list what is on the address on your driver's license because it's less paperwork for everyone prosecutor failed big time in this prosecution

I’m not sure any of his testimony matters if we haven’t seen his brother and mom testify to putting him at the scene with a gun in his hand right there involved in it all It’s hard to know since people watching online don’t have access to all the testimony in the case.

The prosecution really can’t put him at the scene. No evidence. Her snarky Ness isn’t playing well at all!

This is some Appalachian hillbilly stuff right here. Never get out of the boat.

Prosecutor blew it right from opening statement !

I think he is guilty.Just by the dynamics this family works he at least must have known. However I think he walks free for reasonable doubt or a hung jury. Having him testify was a good choice , he 's a likable witness.

You see his eye, something is up.

He frustrated her so during this cross. She’s out of her element. He did very well

I don't care what I told the courts, I would have lied my ass off on the stand for my brother.

OUCH OUCH MY A HURTS HERE THEY ARE COMING FOR MORE. LOLLOL

Guilty

He’s lying but I’m still low key rooting for him in all this

Who has custody of his son?

oh my goodness, beating around the bush to beat the dead horse of remembering.....

Prosecutor is so rude and it’s working in his favor forsure

Seems very believable

The Wagners are a good example of why assault weapons should be banned again.

Attorney’s hair always looks stringy, never looks good.

What a snotty prosecutor !!!! Unreal

Fredericka was the true master mind behind this

So weird but this reminds me of Damian Echols on the stand.. maybe its the voice, IDK 🤷🏼‍♀️

His memory is very selective isn't it?

Why do I feel bad for this guy?

Having a lot of trouble with eye contact Georgie Pooh!

Cheap Grandma making a list of junk in the house in order to comitt insurance fraud before they burn it down: 1. Candlestick bought at flee market $40 2. Used George Foreman Grill $50 3. 8 pairs of XXXL overalls for my hillbilly family $1600

Sick

George is disturbed!!

Listen I'm just chirping into the void I'm but a kernel unpopped at bags bottom & fully aware my opinion does not matter I just had to get it off my chest it was frustrating me because I haven't even gotten past this part but her trying to make a big deal out of his current address being different than the one he filled out on the form to buy weapons is prime example of someone who's obviously out of touch with what she's talking about because everyone who's ever bought a weapon knows that goes on every day probably with about 80% of people who buy weapons rather they live at the address on their license or not they put down the one on their license because everyone knows there will be a hassle otherwise and yes about 9 out of 10 times the folks who are selling you the weapons will say to you if you legitimately ask them they will tell you to not put your current address if it's different from the one on your license so she failed at proving he is some kind of dishonest person at least with that bit of so-called evidence that just wasted 10 minutes and came off looking really stupid and incompetent being a district attorney and that unaware of how weapon sales take place it would not surprise me to find out she is some big advocate for gun control of course I'm whining about all of this with the fact that eight people were murdered never being lost from my mind and brother here I think knew about everything but no I think the person that was with Jake was his dad I have no doubts that this guy is no danger to society and that unfortunately for him he had a gang of psychos for a f****** family I would be completely content with this kid getting less than 10 years total unfortunately for him he'll probably get life w/o parole which is BS being that Mama and the murdering f****** psycho both took plea deals so obviously they're going to say whatever they're told to say by the district attorney at this point that freaking mother I think probably put it in her psycho son's head to do this to begin with she should be getting the death penalty if anybody should aside from the psycho who after murdering 8 people will spend 50 plus years soaking up tax dollars since he took a plea deal

His phone calls he was just too angry all the time talking to jake taking up for his mother. He’s guilty. He shoulda turned them all in and got immunity if not.

Listening to this and reading the information about each person on the side, if the times are correct the Wagners were on their property for hours.

He seems a little slow I kind of believe him. He shouldve taken a deal

most guilty people don't take the stand. he may be innocent

Am I the only one seeing signs of aspergers in George? Jake seemed odd to me as well. Thinking both these kids were on the spectrum and easily controlled and manipulated by their control freak of a mother.

I guess I'm not the only one who feels sorry for him anyway I believe him.

Maybe I'm off but I think he's innocent. Two bad you can't go back and charge the parents for child abuse and teaching them how to steal what horrible people they are.

Mr Wagner is correct when purchasing a gun from a licensed dealer if your ID or driver's license does not match where you currently reside you must put the paperwork in where you have on your driver's license he is 100% accurate on that and then afterwards when you renew your driver's license or ID you need to contact the bureau of firearms and let them know that you have an updated address

Ain't Amurikkka great? You can get an AK at WALMART YEEEHAAAA! Wow. Cocky son of a b.... he is. I love that they are turning on each other. Perfect.

They make the Gambinos look like fine church folk! Fredo I know it was you. Chris Cuomo you Fredo

JUSTICE WILL NEVER BE SERVED UNTIL JESUS CHRIST ARRIVES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I can stand the lady prosecutor...she annoying. Drawing at every straw she can. Please just tie him into the murders and stop trying to get him on wrong addresses

I think he is innocent!
