Yeah... but Casey A. didn't have a dead baby head with a notch by it. For instance.

This one seems a little more revelant.

That is a really great point and that she is passionate. I get that she is frustrated with the defense team. My point is that it's important to be professional. That's all.

I do see you point too.

This is going to be painful when AW and JW testify if the reporters aren't going to tweet about what was said until hours later or the next day! I can't find one single tweet about RN. It's been over an hour and not a single tweet to even say she took the stand. What happened in there? If I wasn't so far away, I'd want to go sit in court. I can't even find anything from a non reporter that might be attending in person!

Gonna change your name to justcantwait. Haha

Maybe they're boycotting. Seems strange you can't look at L&C and even tell there's been a trial in Pike.

I'll swing by and pick you up, we'll head for Pike.

Right I don't know what the heck Jake's tattoo is all about, but a skull and an 8 ball is rather interesting and even if it has nothing to do with the Rhoden's and even if George is innocent, that is so extremely insensitive. This was his nieces mom and grandparents, his one time friend (Frankie) and people he knew. Less than 2 months later he is getting an 8 ball and a skull? May not be related, but the coincidences are adding up here.

We've waited this long ... But what if they stop covering it?

That's why I think the murder truck was a Dodge with a Cummins.

@dgfred haha I just might! This trial is one I really wanna see justice. There are a few others, but the option to not have testimony recorded or even live tweeting is frustrating. I'd th ink the media would be ready and waiting to report on one of the witnesses that has been most anticipated and yet nothing.

@ColMustard road trip! I have family over across the river into WV. I could bug someone there to make a trip over the river!

Angela Wagner's mother, Rita Newcomb, testified this afternoon about her abusive marriage to Wagner's father, her daughter's rules about how she could babysit her grandsons and how her daughter asked her to lie about forged custody documents, which are a key piece of evidence.1/8

At times, Newcomb, 69 — who seemed to be swallowed in the witness chair — wept as she answered questions by prosecutor Angela Canepa and defense lawyer, John Parker. Her oldest grandson, George Wagner IV, is on trial accused of killing eight Rhoden family members in 2016. 2/8

Newcomb often called her daughter, Jo, which is her middle name during her hour-long testimony. She cried as she recalled how her changed after she married Billy Wagner. "We weren't as close as before." 3/8

Canepa asked her if Wagner came to her after the #Rhoden family homicides and asked her to lie and say she signed forged child-custody documents related to the child shared by Hanna Rhoden and Jake Wagner. 4/8

Newcomb said her daughter told her: "Mom, if you won't sign they will hurt me bad or kill me." But, she testified that she knew it was wrong at the time. 5/8

Authorities charged Newcomb with forgery and later reduced the charges in exchange for her testimony after she came forward and admitted she lied. 6/8

"I told Frank (her lawyer) I'm in trouble and I don't know what to do,'' she testified. "He said: 'Tell the truth and everything will be fine.' And, that's were we are." 7/8

She testified that she owned 50 acres of property and was preparing to build a home, but had to sell it to pay her lawyer in this case. She cares for her 90-year-old mother, she said, and they are living with her son and his family. 8/8

I've been thinking alot about the gun wish list. Jake and George were both in what their early to mid 20's when the list was supposedly made. IMO-a wish list is something children let's say under the age of 10 would make for their birthday or Santa at Christmas. However, an adult would make an inventory list of collectibles or valuables that they already have. At least I have done that in the past myself. Again just all IMO.

I have a running list on a certain popular buying site. One for me, my s/o, and individual lists for other family, that I might purchase gifts for anything from births, to Christmas.

My mistake, I thought you said you were there.

Scioto Valley Guardian pinned a post on their feed saying they are done for the day. Did it look like the defense was questioning RN for a brief time?

Maybe they were...until that reporter stood and shot his mouth off in open court with the jury seated?

 

[arielilane]

Found it! Though it was found on Ms. Levy's page. Tweet from 10/14/2022:

I can't stop thinking about the fact that Chris Newcomb said Jake Wagner's bedroom was hot pink and he would sing the "My Little Pony" song. Newcomb said Jake said it was Sophia's favorite song.

In reference to tweet above:
I wasn’t clear when I first posted this, however, the reason I posted it was because it was left out of testimony I posted yesterday. There were a few tweets left out, and this was one of them. Though testimony it a tweet from Ms. Levy’s Twitter page not from Mr. Pilcher’s Twitter page.

 

[dgfred]

There ya go Trish, iulia has ya covered.

 

[arielilane]

James Pilcher and other reporters have not posted any trial updates on Twitter at this time.

The outburst was immediately after AC called RN to the stand. Honestly, after the audio stopped, I stopped.

I wonder when this was? Who was going to kill her? Did she mean Billy and the boys? BCI? It sounds like this might have been before they were arrested. Was this after the BCI interview at the border where she knew they were on to her about the custody documents?

Midday, Day 22, #PikeCountyMassacre trial of #GeorgeWagnerIV, with Angela Wagner's mother, Rita Newcomb, up to testify this afternoon. She has "opted out" -- which means media cannot capture images/audio. Journalists will need to be in the courtroom to report her testimony. 1/5

I'm wondering exactly who "they" are? This was before W4 were arrested. Who was AW afraid was going to hurt her bad or kill her?
