  • George Wagner, IV is standing trial for the April 2016 murders of eight members of the Rhoden and Gilley families. Wagner IV faces 22 counts including eight counts of aggravated murder with death penalty specifications, aggravated burglary, conspiracy, tampering with evidence and forgery.
    Wagner’s brother, Edward “Jake” Wagner, and his mother, Angela Wagner, have already pleaded guilty to taking part in the conspiracy to murder the eight Rhoden and Gilley family members over their desire to obtain full custody of the then two-year-old daughter Jake shared with victim Hanna May Rhoden. Angela and Jake Wagner have agreed to testify against their family members.
    George “Billy” Wagner, the father of Jake and George, faces the same 22 counts.
    On the morning of April 22, 2016, family members found Chris Rhoden, Sr., 40, and his cousin, Gary Rhoden, 38, dead in Chris’ mobile home on Union Hill Rd. Chris Sr.’s ex-wife, Dana Manley Rhoden, 37, and their children, Hanna May Rhoden, 19, and Chris Rhoden Jr., 16, were found shot in the head in their sleep in their mobile home down the road. Hanna May had given birth days earlier to a baby girl who was not harmed. Clarence "Frankie" Rhoden, 20 and his fiancee, Hannah "Hazel" Gilley, 20, were also found shot to death in their sleep. Their six-month-old son was in between them covered in blood but unharmed. Frankie’s four-year-old son was unharmed in the home as well.
    Kenneth Rhoden, 44, was found shot once in the eye in his camper on Left Fork Rd. more than seven miles away.
    Angela Wagner’s mother, Rita Newcomb, pleaded guilty in 2019 to a misdemeanor count of obstruction. She had been charged with forgery and obstruction of justice for lying about signing and notarizing custody documents related to Hanna May, Jake and George’s children. Newcomb has agreed to testify against her family members.
    Billy Wagner’s mother, Fredericka Wagner, was initially charged with obstruction of justice and forgery for allegedly lying about purchasing a bullet-resistant vest for Billy. The charges were dropped after it was discovered a plate in the vest was manufactured after the homicides. Prosecutors have said they may refile the charges at a later date. Fredericka has been subpoenaed to testify.
    The victims:
    Christopher Rhoden Sr., 40
    his ex-wife Dana Manley Rhoden, 38,
    their children Christopher Rhoden Jr., 16, Hanna May Rhoden, 19, and Clarence “Frankie” Rhoden, 20,
    Christopher Sr.’s cousin Gary Rhoden, 38,
    Sr.’s brother Kenneth Rhoden, 44,
    and Frankie’s fiancée Hannah “Hazel” Gilley, 20
    The Wagners did it so they could get custody of the young daughter Jake had with his ex Hanna Rhoden, prosecutors said. Jake indeed won sole custody of the child, now 8, after the murders. The Wagners moved to Alaska. That all changed after authorities arrested them in November 2018, sparking a legal battle lasting almost four years.

    The defense really doesn't want the jury to see the brutality of this case. Sorry they need to know that your client and his family not only obliterated a whole family, they left children in that nightmare. A newborn baby left trying to nurse from his dead mother should be an aggravating factor.

    Can I submit a request? Can you PLEASE, PLEASE include a link to a trial's playlist in the description? So many times I will see "Such and Such trial Day 8" and think, "Oh man, I want to watch this from the start!" Then I go to the Playlist section and spend 20 mins scrolling through 100s of playlists, reading the descriptions, trying to find the one I am looking for. It would be SO much easier if there was a link in the description of every video for something like "Follow full trial: "

Day 8 is in there somewhere and scroll down through maybe 7 other videos and I might find day 7 and scroll through a bit more and find day 6, etc. A direct link to the playlist would make it so much easier.

  • @johnchaney9849
    @johnchaney9849 Год назад +2

    The ME has done a great job discussing the autopsies, but I think the defense should have objected to her testimony about the .22 caliber bullets that killed Hannah and some of the others. She said she believed they were .22 Long Rifle rounds, as opposed to a “regular” .22. Well, .22 Long Rifle ammo IS a regular .22. There are also .22 Short, Long and Magnum, but .22 LR is the most common these days by far.
    I figure they may have used subsonic ammo, since it is commonly used with silencers/suppressors. Hopefully a ballistics expert will be testifying at some point.

    Whoever is the boss/supervisor is on the prosecutions team, PLEASE PLEASE do NOT allow that woman on the prosecution side/team to question ANY MORE witnesses who are testifying. Her “uh, uh are bad enough, BUT between some/a lot of her questions when she FINALLY speaks, she pauses long enough to form/create “dead air”. IF she was on a radio show OR television, her LONG pauses/silences would be called “dead air”, which is NOT tolerated.

    According to the testimony from the corner about “Frankie”, he was shot on the right check while he was in the bed, BUT that he shot twice on the left side of the head. With the corner’s testimony about these shots on BOTH SIDES OF “Frankie’s” head, I am wondering IF there were two shooters present there, OR IF the shooter ran around the bed to shoot two more times into “Frankie’s” head.

    Here's where I'm at: George shot Chris Sr. thru the door while he was on the phone, then George lost his nerve, and Jake and Billy took over. Chris Sr was shot only once with the high powered rifle, which George was in possession of (I believe according to Jake) and the other 8 shots came from two similar style guns.

    • @johnchaney9849
      @johnchaney9849 Год назад +2

      Jake said George froze - and he, Jake took the rifle and shot Chris. According to the prosecutor, Jake also said the homemade silencer sort of obscured the front sight of the rifle - and that might have caused George not to shoot.

I've heard the prosecution theories, but thus far there has been no evidence to back that theory. It may be coming later, but for now I will wait.
      I'm not suggesting not guilty, just waiting the evidence to prove guilt.
