You should do the defense teams closing. I'm telling ya, I went in with an open mind and there's no hard, solid evidence. It's a DP case, I've taken it seriously and hoped there was one redeeming human in the bunch of them. I believe in coincidence, odd timing, and such, but at some point, is all of the these things in this man's life, during a certain time period, ALL based on odd coincidences? If so G4 is one unlucky man.
I have some help. Hubby is watching this trial. He said way back in week 2 if it had been him he would never have suggested to the DA to arrest George. they had no evidence. Now today we hear from Agent Ryan S that they had no evidence or even probable cause to arrest george. That is why the wiretaps. Ryan S said the wiretaps were a last ditch effort to get probable cause to arrest george. Even with those they had to take it to a grand jury to arrest him. As the old saying goes a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich. But a conviction is a whole different story. They sat in jail for 3 years. Did not move forward one inch toward a trial. Suddenly Jake gets a wild hair in his butt to confess. The first proffer (the one the defense got) Jake said George was not in on the planning (easy to believe since he was out on the road with billy for a week then with Jake for a week, hunting, philandering, scrapping with Chris N, fishing with friends.) Jake said George was not with them at the murder scenes. Jake said george did not help with the cover up. All in Parkers opening, because that first proffer was all that Parker had.
Then suddenly the guards at TWO jails managed to make a huge screw up and let Jake and Angie talk. Remember that in pre trial hearings??? Now that didn't happen easily. In fact i would say the odds of that is very low. First Angie had to call CN and have him tell Jake a day and time to call CN. To the minute. Or vice versa. then Angie had to call CN at that very same time. By some miracle there were no other prisoners waiting in line to use the phone at jake or Angies jail at that very moment. BTW no guards listening in on either one of their star witnesses. Angie and Jake call CN who merges for a conference call so Jake and mommy can talk to each other for who knows how long? And no guards, BCI, Canepa even bothers to listen to the phone calls you know the jail taped. Ask you self why? How did this very well choreographed conference call slip by so many jailers investigators ect. Want an answer? Because Canepa set that conference call up. Why? Because they had nothing on George. She set it up so jake could tell mommy if you want a 30 year deal, no DP for any of us, we have to give them george. Canepa may even have been on that conference call with them. But the end result was a half azzed attempt by Jake and Angie to put george in it all. Angie couldn't do it until the last few minutes of her testimony when she said "oh BTW, george said he wanted to confess right after the murders and take the fall for all of us, oh and that shoeprint, he said that was his." That after hours of testimony from jake where they never discussed the murders at all. Jake made a half azzed effort to put george in it by saying george had the SKS but for some reason forgot to fire it at Chris sr. So hero jake had to take it from george and shoot. Then Billy goes bat shyte crazy and once again hero Jake has to step in and calm Billy down. Guess george was still in rigor mortis and couldn't move a muscle. Then all of a sudden Jake says he had george dig a hole. But then he testifies he cut up the weapons, he and billy mixed the concrete, and poured it in the buckets. hero jake coming to the rescue again. Then Billy asks george and jake to build a goosebox for gramps birthday. So george helps build a goosebox. No evidence he knew what it would be used for except a gift for gramps on his birthday.
Suddenly Canepa gets a new proffer from jake putting george in the mix of it all and as a bonus a proffer from Angie.
Then we hear from Ryan S today they had nothing on george, not even probable cause to arrest him.
Doesn't any of this sound suspicious to anyone except me and hubby who has been a federal investigator for almost 40 years and worked some horrendous crimes like the Murrah Building?
Then there is the lawsuit George would win against the state of Ohio for keeping him locked up for 3 years without probable cause. The last guy a state did that to got 14 million dollars from the state. Ohio can barely pay for this trial.
Just a few late night thought for you. the biggest being out of hundreds of hours of recordings why doesn't the jury and us get to listen to those phone calls between Jake and Angie that we all know the jail recorded??????
