Remember CC, the Wagners like to be in control so I would say one of them was bragging, JMO
MOO Are we even sure the scorpion is the tattoo in question??
I have never heard of anyone getting a scorpion tattoo to indicate they have killed, I do know that a "teardrop below the eye" tat is normally associated with having killed someone.
IIRC, ALL scorpions have 8 legs so just because there were 8 victims doesn't mean much IMO. If there had been 4 victims, BW would have had to ask for a 4 legged scorpion tat.
"The scorpion tattoo meaning represents intimidation and fear like an expression of great strength, the ability to control and protect oneself, loyalty, and powerful sexuality. The scorpion has the ability to cause death with one wave of its poisonous tail, striking fear into those who get too close."
Good points. 8 segments is normal? Live and learn. Your right. I can't find anything online about scorpion tattoos being a way to advertise murder.
One reason I assume the scorpion is because it's so noticeable. How would tattoos come to the attention of LE without seeing them? His arm tats can easily be covered which is what he did but unless he wears gloves or bandages it is much harder to cover a tattoo on the top of your hand. Kinda jumps out and claws ya
Well I can think of one way investigators could have caught wind about the tattoos - witnesses. CN who most likely knows more about them then anyone else, and the female who they talked in front of about revenge. The Wagners carelessly revealed things to these people so I think it's possible they revealed tattoo information to them. Time frame, Motives for getting them, and where Billy got his tattoo.
Another reason I suspect the scorpion is because Canepa in her closing statement said there is alot more evidence and then she went on to say there are tattoos and a movie about 2 brothers going out killing with silencers.
Mentioning the 2 together makes me suspicious that somehow the tattoos are related to Boondock Saints. The positioning of the scorpion matches up with the positioning of the Boondock Saints tattoos.
I have never noticed any type of bandage or bracelet type thing on him in court before. The first one is his last hearing the 2nd one is a previous court appearance.
TY!
It is longer, a normal one has 5 segments on the tail section.

I'm "cancelling" this post..
There really wasn't much opportunity for BCI to sit and notice his tattoos because his interviews are listed in discovery as all being audio not even partially video.
Also, I see no interviews past May 2017 and the scorpion I think was done in 2018.
So this just bolsters my theory that it was a close witness whom talked to BCI about his tats. I imagine Billy bragging in his arrogant way and saying too much like he did in front of a woman witness when talking revenge.
George too, I see him as bragging and not being discrete like he was with his threats in front of the witness and making sure people knew "I'm a Glock man everyone." Even involving this uncle in buying a Glock.
I guess he didn't think BCI would recover shell casings because of the brass catchers and be able to identify 3 specific guns, otherwise why would a professed "Glock man" use his own Glock on a killing spree?
