      Totally agree. especially after hearing how controlling he was and his Mother was. When I heard that he grabbed Hannah by the throat, because she did not want to do yard duty, (just after she had Sophia) that made me think - what are you?? her boyfriend or her Father??? (not that a father would do that - but a father would be on your case if you were supposed to be doing something and you were more interested in being on your phone or something else).
      He acted like he OWNED her. He acted as if he OWNED Sofia. He lost it when he could not control her and she moved out with Sofia. Is it any wonder she left. even at her young age, she knew this was not how life was supposed to be.

    He said he was afraid of Sophia being around Hannah’s family and friends. He thought his family would be a much better place for her. Are you kidding!!!! Of course, she’d be much better around a family that was involved in every type crime you can name. They burned down homes and vehicles for insurance money. They stole and robbed businesses (oh, but only the ones who had insurance- so it wouldn’t hurt the working man.
    The Billy is the worst. He raised these boys into a life of crime. And he, was the one who said that Hannah had to be killed.
    Most bizarre family I’ve ever heard of. I can’t comprehend an entire family all agreeing and going along with and planning the murders of an entire family in 4 residences. And they killed anyone else who happened to be there.
    Oh but George and ignorant Billy think they are smart enough to go to trial and get off. George may get a lighter sentence since he apparently didn’t shoot - I hope he doesn’t. But Billy should rot in prison.

      Well the other two seem to think they are so clever. I Think it's insulting to keep saying you are not guilty after it's all out in the open. George IV is not innocent in any kind of way. They say he didn't kill anyone but he did more than his mother when he went into the houses and to put his hands on a person and drag them around!! No ! The three of them should have gotten the death penalty and the mother, life without the possibility of parole .

    To all you future killers out there, this is not the way to handle things just because you are not happy or getting your way, or have a new love. You need Jesus in your life to be happy, and god will help you always, God will never let you down, like man, Trust in the lord with all your heart. God first, family second and then comes work. God is coming soon, look at how this world is going? So bad, killings murders, and teaching kids they are not a boy or girl in schools? So wrong. God should be first in your life and Jesus in your hearts and read your bible. the bible tell s the future. God s wrath will fall on this earth and I feel sorry for everybody left behind.

I really hope that Hannah Hazel mom was able to get custody. I am so glad that Frankie's son is with his mom and Vine is back with his mom. The Wagner's didn't even stop and think about how many lives would be affected by their actions. A horrible horrible tragedy for everyone 😢

Jake spilled the beans because he was to scared he'd get the death penalty yet had no problem killing.only a true coward could testify against his own family for helping out his problem.
