GW4 wanted to go to trial and was the first of the 4 to to have a date set, but his attorneys needed more discovery. I don't think GW4 will plea and admit any guilt, I think right now it is all about his attorneys defending him against anything incriminating he may have said on the tapes.
I think GW4 will want his attorneys to get the tapes thrown out or get parts omitted from from his trial or spin them and do damage control etc...
Think about it though. Think about how you are having multiple conversations in your own home or your grandmother's home etc...and you start talking off the top of your head, off guard, not thinking about everything you are saying like we do at home. At home we say what we want, no one is listening right?
And imagine what the Wagners may have revealed.
I think that what the Wagners thought would happen was that eventually the case would die down and just stay a cold case and they would go on with their lives just like before but better, because they now have full permanent custody of not just one, but both children.. .
Then they got a surprise:
Murder has no statute of limitations and the BCI investigation and DeWine's laser focus will now follow them the rest of their lives, they will never be free of it, as Jake said in Alaska:
"It followed us here."
As they faced their new reality they realized, yes, they could be arrested so they actually discussed breaking each other out of jail.
The Wagners must always have total control and they could not control HR and her family. This enraged them so they decided kill her and her family and regain total control.
The Wagners must always have total control and they cannot control LE continually investigating them. This enraged them so they began to plot revenge against LE and anyone who goes against them...2 Cents........
