YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Attorneys representing Pike County massacre suspect George Washington Wagner IV, who was charged along with his parents and brother in the murders eight members of the Rhoden family, told an Ohio judge that their client should not be eligible for the death penalty. The defense team claims new evidence shows he didn’t actually kill anyone.

Jake Wagner in August admitted to personally killing five members of the Rhoden family and pleaded guilty to 23 criminal charges that included multiple counts of aggravated murder. Prosecutors recommended the 28-year-old be sentenced to eight consecutive life terms without parole plus more than 100 years in exchange for taking the death penalty off the table.

George and Jake’s mother, 50-year-old Angela Wagner, earlier this month pleaded guilty to lesser charges, including conspiracy to commit aggravated murder and aggravated burglary. Prosecutors recommended she serve 30 years in prison in exchange for the aggravated murder charges being dropped.
