It blows my mind how people think they'll murder someone and not get caught. Now instead of full or shared custody, they'll never see their kids again and they've lost both parents.
They almost did, and in the past it was easier then you'd think. Modern forensics and cameras everywhere make getting away with it much harder but it sill happens
In the past crimes committed in different jurisdictions were more difficult To prove as there was limited sharing of info between different police organizations. With advances in different electronic .media, cooperation is much better now. and sharing of that info between organizations has vastly improved convictions now.
Terrible parents. Terrible sons. Son shoots the mother of his baby. Father shoots his "best friend". 6 others murdered to cover up the atrocity. Amazing cruelty.
The 8 victims didn’t get to choose to live or die …Their rights were taken away. It’s difficult to understand why criminals have the right to choose. 🤔 Doesn’t add up
Because only the evil insane or uncivilized people kill people. Life without parole is the moral and most punitive sentence. You can't teach people not to kill by killing people. Criminals do not choose. The justice system does. For those who want to see less killing in our country life without is the logical choice.
Exactly, that’s why Jake said his dad came up w/ the idea, I believe that’s because, Angela put it in the dads head/ideas first. I think Jake is protecting his mother, if anything.
Not sure that was a smile, had appeared to be, but definitely had a grimace in it.. or a small child smile when they were caught doing something, which is what it looked like. Which probably indicates a human brain that is not developed in pace with the age he is..
George Wagner IV agreed, helped plan, purchased weapons, and went to the homes. If he all of a sudden got a conscience after he froze, then why didn't he say this isn't what we should be doing? Instead, he dragged the body to another room, went to three other homes where six additional people were murdered. This was not disputed by the defense and the defense even stated in his opening statement that George was there!! These are not the actions of an innocent man!!
Obviously he’s not innocent but at least he in the end could not go through with taken someone’s life. He should still be charged for lesser crimes and he should do time especially since he cooperating and helping the prosecution.
I got earlier this year whileat work. Only one person shot me but there were two defendants. They were both charged and convicted. In fact the one that didn't fire the shot got sentenced to more time because it was his gun and he wasn't supposed to have one due to previous convictions. She got ten years and her boyfriend got fifteen years. George could have walked away at anytime or told right away and he didn't. GUILTY on all charges.
agreed - it's a open court/ public hearing.... the murderers and conspiritors should NOT have the right to opt out of being broadcast to the public. It is in the public interest to hear the testimony for the community and the public full disclosure closure is needed.
Once again governments here in the west live to and love to protect criminals. Come a Muslim government like Saudi, they would have been killed not even two days sooner than proven guilty
Death penalty, for all these monsters, he didn’t want to lose custody of his daughter so he and his family members kill 8 people. And leave a very young baby. Alone 😢 disgusted , with these horrible monsters , that only get a life sentence for taking a life away, we need to stop 🛑 giving these monsters a platinum . End of story) Sending my condolences to any family member left to take care of this very young precious baby , I’m very sorry 😢 for you’re loss . God bless to all , 🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯 🕯 🕊🌈
Projection about Sofia being SAed or only excuse they could come up for evil? Angela wanted custody of both grandkids so thats why it happened. Killer gets to opt out of trial as he opted Rhodens lives out! Really Ohio!
A news reporter, who was in the courtroom while Jake testified against his brother, said Jake was strange and weird. Said he would burp on the stand throughout his testimony. He would laugh and smile at inappropriate times, which sounds like a Psychopath.
absolutely! The BCI had everything they needed to convict all 4 with the death penalty, They could have agreed to life for Angela and George since they didn't kill anyone but not taken death off the table for Jake and Billy since they were the murderers. Conspiracy and destroying evidence could have given George and Angela life but no guarantees that death being taken off the table for the shooters. That should have been the only deal the prosecution should have been considering.
@@thisisanaussiegal3590 I believe Jake is covering for George..I believe George shot Chris Sr. With the high power rifle..I don't believe Jake ran over and shot George's gun then army rolled back to where he shot his gun from..and Angela was the mastermind! Without her controlling the children she was scared she would lose control of Jake and George and without control of them she could not control their money..the nonsense Billy supposedly would not turn Chris in for the weed bc it was his best friend however he will kill his best friend and his entire family is ridiculous..Billy was all in bc he was begging Angela to get the boys out the house so they could be together...imo if you plan and plot the execution of and entire family..you are as guilty as if you killed them all..this was conspiracy of a premeditated murder..the hand of one is the hand of all..death penalty for them all..worst plea bargain ever!
@@donnacook3079 I 100% agree that the death penalty was appropriate for all 4 as they all conspired, 3 attended and all covered up and destroyed evidence. I agree that Jake is giving sympathetic evidence toward George and his mother and throwing his dad under the bus. However, what I'm saying is that the prosecution *could have* somewhat understandably, agreed to take the death penalty off the table and have life sentences for Angela and George but not agreed to take the definite shooters off the death penalty. That may have still worked to get Jake's cooperation. However, I still feel sure that the state had more than enough to prosecute all 4 for the death penalty with or without Jake and Angela's testimonies. Angela most certainly got off too easy. The whole family is evil in the worst ways.
@@mostpassiveuser8904 I understand however I do not agree with the plea bargain they to take penalty off the table for all four with jakes testimony...now we are paying for Billy and George's trail with no death penalty ...also Angela was the mastermind and she only gets 30 years...isn't it odd they killed out of jealousy and control but they don't want to die..and Jake on the stand smirking and holding back laugher...and then the hearing about opting out...and the argument that Jake will be in danger in prison if a prisoner hears of his testimony....injustice
0:31 That Smirk is so Sinister !!.. My sincere condolences to the family members, I'm so sorry for your loss, n I thank my Father that the little baby didn't die as well.. There's so much Evil that roam's this realm. May God Bless, Godspeed to you All. AMEN. 💙
What sense did it make to kill the entire family and leaving the baby unattended to get full custody? Did he think he would actually be able to get away with all of this and have full custody?
@@chiccabee8840 The death penalty is against the ten commandments. That includes the government and the citizenry. Thou Shalt Not Kill. I find it strangely coincidental how so many who believe in the death penalty have it visited upon their loved ones. Self defense is a different matter.
@@bobbybooker2123 I was asking because as a child of God, I am absolutely against the Death Penalty! What example is being set and made by taking someone's life *even if/when* they've killed etc 😔
@@rosalynjeffery9510 I would have thought it was clear I was talking about the Wagners when I said "they" and "plea deals". But just to be super clear I meant the Wagners who are being tried in Ohio and the plea deals that were taken to avoid the death penalty potentially being applied to them.
They took such care to not get caught but, even if they hadn't been arrested yet, it couldn't possibly have been easy living with that paranoia. Much less the guilt (if they're capable of feeling it) of murdering so many innocent people. May the Rhodens rest in peace and the kids grow up safely.
Why would they even THINK that Jake’s little girl might be molested? Is that something which happens frequently in that neck of the woods and is just expected? Sick minds must all think alike!
to me saying that was just an excuse to have a reason to get the daughter away from her mom and fam and blow them all away they r monsters and all those children will know it
There would have been plenty of drama for them if the Wagners had just waited until their suspicions were aroused and gone after that suspect only. Maybe even have had a defense!
Sad to say but what goes around comes around since he himself molested Hanna at the age of 14 ,poor kids are doomed wen they are born to monsters like that
I would disagree. People don’t usually attend criminal hearings to "police" the justice system. Most people want courtroom access just to watch it all unfold and to find out the details. We want access for the same reasons we watch murder reality shows, like Dateline, 48 Hours, 20/20, Crime Watch Daily, etc. And by the way, imo, criminals should not have any say as to whether they can be watched, listened to by the general public, especially when their crimes have affected a whole community. The public has a right to know. Cameras and microphones should have been allowed in that courtroom to hear the guilty man’s testimony, forgetting his rights to privacy just like he forgot about his victims right to life. God bless the families of the victims. May they find comfort and healing in the difficult days and years to come.
Don't understand why these people think they can kill someone and do their crime shopping at Walmart and not get caught...do they not realize Walmart has the best cameras.
That while trial was a complete and utter mess. I've never seen nothing like it. I could only imagine what tricks he comes up with when they reconvene on Monday. That reddit crap didn't work so I wonder what else he will come up with?
@@rosalynjeffery9510 Keeping everyone on the edge of their seats paying attention to him is the hallmark of narcissistic personality disorder, which is not a mental illness. Narcissists have either internal or external feelings of inadequacy which can only be remedied by being the center of attention. Dog chases tail ensues and it lasts a lifetime. Sadly, Darrell will never be relieved of the evil that has hijacked his personality. Having been closely related to someone with NPD, death is a relief. The media circus will almost never see this trial for what it is because hardly anyone is able to admit having dealt with NPD themselves. It is the silent killer.
I'm glad we got to see it because if it was retold, no-one would believe it! His arrogance, thinking he's above the judge and courts etc was the death of him! Mind boggling lol
"The reason why we want public access is to be able to ensure that our justice system is doing what it's supposed to do" 🙄👀 IDK about that, more like the public just wants to be noisy ASF and wants to give their opinions as if their opinions actually matter. The public likes to pretend they're lawyers themselves or behavior analyst or my favourite a psychologist and that's why the public wants to know what's going on inside these court room's, they all want to give their two sense on matters that more than likely they're not qualified to give, LIKE ME!
Evil! Not a human being. A monster. So easy to get Guns, ammunition etc.That is the Law. I t could be stopped with change Law. I feel sorry for The victimes. Sad. So much pain and suffering and Chock. 😪
We could not get rid of alcohol. What makes you think we could get rid of guns and ammunition? If guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns. Cain killed Abel with a Rock. We need more mental health facilities and doctors to help the sick among us before they act out.
I hope god forgives you all this was horrible of you to do I don’t like to judge my sisters & brothers but the lord said eye for an eye you all deserve the death penalty
God doesn't "allow" sin to happen. He gave each of us something"Free Will" and its up to *us* how we choose to live or if we choose to follow God & His Word
As of Tuesday 11-1-22, all of the Pike County George Wagner IV trial videos have been removed from the Law&Crime Videos list. What’s going on here? The recent days have been completely and incorrectly censored, so those videos are useless. Why are the previous videos gone? Maddening.
That awkward moment when you recognize the weapon, the caliber, and the projectile brands of everything in that picture, all of which were buried in concrete... 🙃
Absolute monsters,whole blooming lot,death is to good for all of them,wipped out a family for a custody battle,,their protected better than the victim's, should of been no deals,not in this day and age 👍
So...that criminal immoral family was "family" enough to kill for one of them, then that guy turns around and throws them under the train? Blood is not thicker than water when it comes to facing the death sentence.
The child, Sophia was at home with Grammy (angela) while the murdering of an entire family occurred. Poor child. Once she learns why she has no family. Mom's family murdered and dad and family in prison for murdering the other family. Horrific!
