Angela's half-brother testifies in trial of his nephew, George Wagner IV
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 окт 2022
- Chris Newcomb, Angela Wagner's half-brother, testified that his sister was controlling, described the Wagner home as abusive and explained what it was like growing up with Jake and George. George Wagner IV - along with his mother Angela, father George "Billy" Wagner and brother Edward "Jake" Wagner - is accused of shooting and killing the Rhoden family members "execution-style." The family's bodies were found on April 22, 2016. He faces eight charges of aggravated murder, along with other charges associated with tampering with evidence, conspiracy and forgery.
The fact that this sweet man is Angela’s brother is mind boggling.
Because he’s only got half of the same DNA as this thing called his half sister he’s such an amazing guy he stood up for his family and felt played for it poor guy he will now find it hard to trust anyone let alone his family
That's exactly what I was going to say it's really hard to believe they were raised by the same mom but me and my sister were raised by the same mom and dad and my mom said from when I was born she could tell I was the complete opposite of my sister so I do know it's very possible and happens a lot - Angela's brother just seems like a good ole country boy ...
you women are clueless dumb and clueless do you shower daily?
Half brother. Angela gets half bad and half EVIL sister
@@tarissagray6163 the difference is that he separated from his mother (as he should have) to become a man but his mother stayed under the wing of her mother who was nuts.
He is just a good guy who has been dragged into this mess by some evil people. He didn’t deserve to have his life turned upside down either.
Chris seemed to see through most the wagner 's ways including his own sister. He really didn't say anything bad about George. Just can't believe not one person had the strength or willl to do the right thing and stop this.
Why doesn't George get on the stands when tge defense presents its case and tell the truth instead of waiting for his mother and brother to turn states witness against him ? It is not too kate to change his plea

Chris AND the much maligned Manley family helped to dispel the stereotypes of Hillybilly behaviour.
Yes. He is a very very nice man
Kinda ironic that Angela thought he was a bad influence on her sons when she was the truly evil one helping 2 plan a murder
u got that right
Right!!!! Smh. Gaslighting at its finest.
She was definitely the methodical, Narcissist!!! I was in a similar situation with my first babies Daddy s mom, She wouldn't stop,I lived in a completely different state,and was constantly harassed by her calling CPS,after I interfered with their visitation, and when they caught up with me my daughter was ripped from my neck,and I was 8 Mos pregnant with my next daughter, Very Long Story short, They had $ and I was 21,just had another child,I couldn't offer her what they could,I couldn't cut her in half,and I knew her dads mom had always wanted a daughter,and she would have the best of everything, just never counted on them brainwashing her against me.. 😭
We cant see INSIDE ourself .
In my personal opinion I would even go as far as to say she was the 'mastermind' behind the killings.
He did a great job, he is a great witness! Wish all the best for him and his family!! Thank you sir for your honesty!
I know Chris personally and he is a hell of a guy. Super respectable dude
He seems like a really great guy. It breaks my heart for ALL the people involved in this tragedy 😔
He seems to be he's a handsome
Travis he seems real as fuck good ol country boy keeping 100
@@fairygril69 Kinda looks like Jason Momoa.

Ok i see your statement but why did you have to use f word. Si7nds vulgar
This guy seems like such a stand up guy. His wife and kids and family are extremely blessed to have such a good guy.
Yea, selling pills, an active participant in insurance scam, knew about all the family’s stealing an scams an not reporting it. Yea sounds like a great guy, this guy fooled so many people with his “good ol boy” attitude.
@@For_The_Dream_SC Oh please! Nobody is perfect I doubt you would turn your own family for insurance scam.Atleast he wasn't murdering people.🙄
@@almondeyez_80 i hope you get insujrance scammed then...at least you wont be killed tho right?
@@For_The_Dream_SC did you know doctors and pharmacists sell pills
Adderall is legal meth….I use cannabis to cure my au(tis)m I have since 2010(age 20) I had au(tis)m by a booster shot at age 14 in 2004
I have no sympathy for drug dealers!!!
Yeah he seems sweet. Typical friendly country guy
I am from South Point, not too far from where this happened. It has boggled my mind what happened to these victims. This witness is such a nice, down to earth, humble guy and very believable.
I agree, very believable.
😢 I feel bad for him.
Probably wishes he could divorce from his family 😪 Thank God he didn't get caught up in this horror. Hope all the best for him, wife, and kids
This poor man, I can't imagine having to be up in front of the court reliving what happened. Chris seems like an honest, caring, and utterly believable witness. The way he speaks, trying so hard to be respectful, but you know he just wants the whole situation to go away and to beat the perpetrators, then never see or think about them ever again. He's the kind of man all the jurors can relate to: caring, honest, hardworking, and doing his very best to do the right thing. No matter how many people are called as witnesses after him, everyone in the courtroom will remember his testimony and his words will carry a great deal of weight when they decide what will happen to the defendant.
@@reikoparker3772I liked your comment. It was well worded and highly accurate too. I think his testimony also showed that this side of the family aren’t all bad. I’ve seen so many docs where the family of a killer like nephews, nieces, etc. are all outcasted in their community and it’s not right since they didn’t do the crimes.
If only every witness was this likeable. Sir don't let life change you are a Good Man!!!
Man I had to come here to say that this dude has to be so appreciated by EVERY person in that courtroom and around the country watching… To bring genuine levity to such a tragic situation for him… protect this man at all cost. I just wanna buy him a beer
He was scamming people with insurance fraud ig, and was a thief. Hope he's changed his ways...
@@TheCandiceWangYou are a thief of joy
@@TheCandiceWang He’s unequivocally doing the right thing here. Your comment has no bearing on his actions in this courtroom. Human beings are all prone to sin-yourself included. His past is past. Leave the judgment to God.
When?@@TheCandiceWang
@@TheCandiceWanggot any skeleton’s in your closet? I’m sure you do..,evil thoughts or maybe something you did years ago.
Only a few minutes in and this chill guy seems like the real deal. Nice to see.
He seems to be a good guy! I think he’s a bit nervous which is why he’s trying to be funny in some of his answers. I feel
bad for him!
I have a great amount of respect for him. His mother, sister, nephews ( like his brothers) brother in law, did this horrible acts, and he is doing the honorable thing probably while breaking his heart, after they done shattered it,to tell the truth for a family that didn’t deserve this. May God grant him and his wife peace🙏
I picked up on the nervousness, too, but who wouldn't be? It's a tough situation.
Yeah. He doesn’t know courtroom decorum which is a good sign
This is a truly a "Good Ole Boy"
He is humble, funny, sensitive, good father, husband/??😉. i
Someone I would want in and around my family.
How did his sister become such a evil person. I believe if not for her all 8 victims would still be with us.
🥴
This is the first time in his life he's ever had a job, he went as far as to go with Jake to turn over the truck for insurance fraud he got more than he bargained for and they had to use the jaws of life to get him out. I guarantee he's on welfare and gets every welfare benefit he can wic, foodstamps anything and we all pay higher insurance premiums because of good ole boys like him, as he said this is the first job he's ever had so I'm quite sure he just preferred getting over anyway possible! Not outta nessesity.
@therealz360z7 Where are you getting this information?
Agree
Chris gave an amazing testimony, very intelligent and well-spoken. I have nothing but great respect for him.
Its refreshing to see someone try to be respectful and not swear, it's sad to see how heartbroken he was to find out his family could do something so shameful. Sometimes we forget the family of the perpetrators are victims too.Not just the Rhodens and Gillys are victims of this clan. Bashing the exwife of Jake calling her weird for trying to fit in was unacceptable he's just now got his first job in his life up until now subsidizing welfare with a side hustle has been his career but yet she's weird ? go figure.
The words I think he was trying to say were: Played for a Fool. And yes, betrayed by Master Cons and Sickos.
Yes he is very respectful and you can tell he's just real solid country boy
I agree with that
@@paddyholly2184 Yes, from the testimonies, it sounds like, when he learned of the confessions, he felt played/duped. Chris Newcomb stood up for the Wagners when they were under suspicion, telling people they wouldn't have done something like the murders; he believed them and sympathized with them when they wanted to involve him in getting custody of Hannah Rohden's kids following the murders. (Sounds like they were trying to guarantee family custody once they were under suspicion, while also trying to deflect suspicion away from themselves regarding custody as their motive.) Chris even paid for the lawyer to help him (Chris Newcomb) get custody of Hannah Rohden's kids after the Wagners asked him to.
@@lionswimmer4637 actually it was Hannah and Jake's daughter Sophia and George's son Bulvine and cps didn't want to give him the kids cause he's on welfare and has never had a job in this life. Randa and him finally met Tabitha and didn't see anything wrong with her having Bulvine she didn't seem like the monster the Wagners made her out to be . And Sophia seems happy in the home cps placed her in.
This guy appears to be a decent and honest guy, who definitely does not agree with what his half sister and her family did. He's sincere and believable and likely ashamed of his extended family for killing these poor 8 people. I really like this guy and I think he'll be a very important part of the prosecution's case.
Oh he was definitely horrified! But who wouldn't be they fed him that b.s that Tabbi was horrible and that bci was trying to lie on the Wagners , im glad he got to see the kids are in alot better place.
Behind every good man is the love from a strong woman ❤️
Prosecutor wins the Guinness book of worlds records for saying the phrase “can you tell us” more times than any human on earth in a single space of time.
🤣💯👏
The way she asks questions isn't great. She's too vague. It doesn't work with someone like this who needs prompting to elaborate.
😂
@@SpandexSuperstarr that’s due to the rules of evidence. When she gets more specific the defense attorney will object as a leading question. This happens occasionally here.
I feel so sorry for this gentleman and have the up most respect for his honesty. This has to be so difficult for him. It’s his family on trial for murder. They Murdered his friend and her family. Including her child. It is disgusting!
This man is so honest for his testimony, salute to you Bro, MAY GOD ALMIGHTY IS ALWAYS BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
How often do you see someone know full well they're gonna get hurt in order to scam the insurance rather than get a job ? Straight up guy yea o.k
What a sweet guy. So sorry he was put in this situation!
Wow. What a guy. Glad he spoke the truth on how he saw it. You can tell his love for his nephew is strong and he's sad.
Uncle Chris did wonderful on the stand.
He's a nice man who seems to be a very humble and a sweet and caring family man. It's so unfortunate those individual's made this dark decision that's ruined and changed lives forever. Peace and comfort to all who remain effected by this unbelievably sad tragedy. My heart is broken along with yours. Only time can heal this kind of pain. Rest in Peace.
Thank you for putting this on here, I think the only way to have transparency in our courts is videos such as these.
Mr. Newcomb you did an amazing job with your testimony! You seem like such an honest, kind man. Also very funny! Angela's father and your father must be as different as daylight and dark. Thank you for your time. I'm terribly sorry you've had to deal with knowing your family killed those people . Some of who were your friends and never did anything to deserve this!!
I thought the same thing about how Angela"s father and his father had to be so opposite, she is selfish and evil, He is so sincere and upbeat. You have to like this guy. I bet he"s a good dad!
When Honesty takes the witness stand. I believe each and every word this man has said. What a great guy!
He lied about several things while on the stand
Wait till Jake testifies , Chris was in on the wreck for insurance money he just got more than he bargained for with the jaws of life ,when asked if that was deliberate he said not by me. In other words yes but he wasn't the one that came up with the idea. And several other lies!
ANGELA'S HALF-BROTHER SEEMS TO BE A VERY NICE AND FRIENDLY YOUNG MAN...EVERYONE 👌 SHOULD HAVE HIS ATTITUDE...IT WAS A 🙏 ☺️ PLEASURE LOOKING AND LISTENING TO HIM
Angela's step brother is phenomenal! He is as honest and genuine as the day is long. And he has absolutely got a rural street-smarts to him that has helped him navigate a rough road. That's amazing since he's been surrounded by miscreants all his life.
Half brother. Same mom.
Being his half sister it is easy to say that he received the nice genetics while his sister received the evil. So many victims beyond those murdered…evil has no conscience. Good to see this man was not afraid to do the right thing and did what he could to get justice for the victims
Nothing to do with DNA , everything to do with nurture.
While genetics may play a role there's not been enough research to confirm that genetics do play a role. They had different fathers and were 20 years apart. Angela's father was abusive.
He seems like a jolly guy who makes a good friend, I'm sure he has many friends he's nice to be around with
No one should have to be put through having to testify against your family but that is on them you did a great job.
You can tell this is the type of guy that if you were broke down in the side of the road, he would stop, and do his best to get you up, and running.
Legit.
He comes across as a good guy. There’s something about his personality humble and down to earth.
Seems like a stand up fella. He's believable and I bet he's got some colorful stories to tell. I like him.
Yesss, I would love to hear them...
I feel so sad for him what his family is putting him through I know it's unimaginable but thank you your testimony was enlightening
You were betrayed. The people you are to love and trust the most are the ones that shatter your exsistance. You weren't a fool for standing and defending them. The integrity you show here alone is impressive. I wish you peace so you can heal in this journey.
You did a wonderful job Mr Newcome I enjoyed your demeanor.
I was going to watch few mins. but Chris got me hooked on him. I’m old enough to be his parent & I would love to listen to his stories. He is articulated & has a good sense of humour. Sadly he lost a whole bunch of people in one day. I hope he focuses on his family & his new job. Best of luck Chris ♥️🌈🇨🇦
Agree all the way, Harley! His testimony gave me hope for the craziness we all live in right now.
He seems like a very descent young man
He seems like he'd be a good friend, but let's not ignore that he was selling pills, part of insurance scams, stealing. Family of crooks and thieves, liars.
You may not know the definition of "articulate." I did enjoy him from the documentary on Oxygen, but I could never condone him being a crook, a thief, and drug dealer.
He seems like a decent man. WTAF happened to the rest of the family? What a horrible thing, all of this.
So George stood up against his parents then why if he didn't want to be involved with killing 8 people didn't he stand up 2 them on that..or even turn them in b4 they went thru with the murders
That’s going to be the million $ question….. can definitely see someone being influenced by his family dynamics, and even if blood runs thicker than water- he had a MORAL obligation, to Hannah and Sophie, to turn his evil twisted family in to the authorities, even a secret phone call to the Sheriff, would have saved lives.
IF George wasn't directly involved - He sure as hell didn't Stand Up and Speak Up. Plus he was complicient in taking/keeping Bovine from his mother.
@@paddyholly2184 Bovine? I thought it's Bulvine?...
@@Dilligaf1 I thought the prosecutor was saying Bulvine too. I figured it out that his name is Bolvine. Which means cattle. I'm curious to who picked out the name. Tabitha has zero say so in anything, so I doubt it was her.
He should say he was worried they'd kill him if he didn't go along with it.
I can tell this guy is an all out good man. He’s obviously fun to be around, because he smiles and laughs a lot.
1:23: I know this is a serious matter but the way this witness did an impression on how Beth would make eye contact was hysterical!
This dude seems like a stand-up guy and a loveable character.
He's a straight up tell ya how it is guy g he did a good job I give him good strength for going on the stand and telling the truth I feel he is truthfully God bless you chris
I watch so many trials and testimonies, and I have to say hearing “useless as tits on a boat hog” during testimony made my week. 😂
I love this guy.
On a boar hog not a boat hog:)
Damn autocorrect
@@thedean4954 No worries:)
Chris is a gem , such a sweetheart.
What a nice man he is. I believe he's telling the truth.
I’m guessing he doesn’t like BW…😂😂😂
Chris is just a good ol country boy talks real prayers for y'all involved
Prayers to the the family and friends of the victims
What a great guy!!! Too bad his nephews weren’t like him.
Seems like such a sweetheart. So innocent and sweet. Amazing he could be related to those monsters.
Fine example of,. No matter how charming, a snake is still a snake 🐍
Good job! Now this is a real man!
This guy is so genuine and believable. Great witness, feel so bad for all he went through. Such an awful tragedy.
I think Chris has been one of the best witnesses. The truth, facts and honesty with this guy! I wish Chris and his family many blessings and strength through all this.
This defense attorney is smart he knows this guy's got a good sense of humor he's playing into it. He also knew he was really close to George. The prosecutor was smart too she pretty much showed how easily George was persuaded by people.
Chris seems like a really likeable guy 💙 Prayers for you and your family ❤️🙏❤️
Have to say , I love this kid’s honesty, no matter how nerve wracking this situation is.
Is he a witness for the Defense? It:s George's trial and he seems to have only good things to say about him.
You are right Chris it is a Monstrous.act.
So sorry but I believe he knows more than he is saying
Dude details a horrific car crash he was involved in and then notes that he doesn't like flying lol
Very good witness! I really like this guy
Great job, Chris!!
I love this guy he’s so honest
The way he said “judge sorry about that” after they stopped proceeding for the 20 min break was very nice.
I like this man! I would want him as my friend if he was near. God bless him!
This guy seems like a real sweet guy.
Excellent witness. You can see he is a wonderful guy. My heart breaks for family of the Wagners.
Love this guy's energy
Truley a "Good Ole Boy" and I say that in a good way!!! Chris sounds like such a nice guy!! God bless him and his family!
Fascinating. He's a great witness, brings it all alive.
Angela is just Heartless.
Absolutely she is
Great job Chris. My kind of people. Hard to believe that he and Angela have the same mother.
Same anything including her. Boys
This man is so likeable. Great witness
This kid seems so genuine, and is truly ashamed by his family members that did this. He seems to speak kindly of George tho. Is George supposed to be guilty in this also?
Oh George is guilty too. I don’t think he actually shot anyone. I believe his brother Jake shot 7 people and his Dad Billy shot 1 according to Jake’s confession. It’s confusing because Dad is George too, but they call him Billy. Actually, much of the time (per Jake) George hid behind his dad or was the lookout. Anyways, in Ohio (I am from OH) him being there, participating in critical moments, helping plot, hide, etc he is just as guilty and is looking to spend the rest of his life in prison. At this point the is probably just trying to bet a shot at parole after 20-30’years. It’s not likely though. Unfortunately, their mom controlled and manipulated them for so long they could have been convinced into doing just about anything. Well anything because look at this.
@@cherylbritt7227 Holy cow THANK you! I've watched more now, and have a much more clear understanding. At least as clear as you can hope to be in this double-name, tangled up mess.
The granny arrested in connection to this massacre lives with this guy.
There you go, Chris was furious at Jake and Angela .. nothing about George.
He clearly stated that he felt betrayed by George and wouldn't want him in his house
He said he had calmed down by the time he talked to George so not quite the same.
He comes across as a very honest individual who was grossly betrayed by all of that evil family. I applaud him for speaking the truth about them all, its sad that he lost what he thought was his best mate/brother. I dont think it was possible that George didnt know what was going on , he was in all the meetings etc, and has to be somewhat guilty, even if he didnt pull any triggers.
I believe George was involved just because how he got rid of tabitha to gain custody of her son and how she was abounded by him and his family . He ain’t no saint
He is sweet!! Got such good personality. Well I know for sure George was involved now if not why dye his hair dark to. Seems like everyone that knows them knows the family dynamic also.
Go back now, knowing that he was involved in their scam(s) with them, and watch from 40:30...The tells, and the signs of deception he exhibits are glaring. IMMEDIATELY he starts getting fidgety, touching his face, swiveling back and forth, deep breaths, fake yawns, his blink rate increases dramatically at times, he starts to look down-breaking eye contact, often.) All the sudden, his memory; which was failsafe until this point, starts to fail him. He was in a life threatening accident, but wasn't immediately sure if it was just he and Jake in the truck? His truck "broke down" and he called George to come get him. He "can't remember" if George took the truck back, or where George was at the time of the accident?? Jake either swerved to MISS a deer, or they actually HIT a deer...he can't remember?? (He can't remember which story they told the insurance investigator, that's what he can't remember.) How many millions of times has the "swerved to miss a ..." story been used in the history of time, right? He admits to going to a doctor to get pills and then (seemingly unknowingly) admits to selling them to Billy. The fake yawn at around 49:32 that he does is cringeworthy. (He does a couple of those along the way after the wreck story, when he's nervous.) When she asks he if he poached deer with them, it's almost comical, the look on his face when he answers, and how fast he starts swiveling in the chair. This guy is a liar, he's a schemer, and he seems to have fooled quite a few people along the way.
🥴
I think he really wanted to answer how he felt about his mother going to jail. He also had a legitimate concussion and other injuries.
I don’t understand how one person can make a deal for the rest… jake pleads guilty as long as everyone avoids the death penalty???
justice system is broken
You could tell he was clear identify it’s his half-sister, and considering he calls his “wife” who isn’t legally his wife, that says something
I don’t get where the attorney was going with her questions. It just went on and on. A lot about the witness himself.
I agree.
I didn't get the point of 90% of her questions.
Her questions are too open ended.
how is there ALWAYS someone coughing during a trail??
Ikr! It's disgusting! They all need to get COVID tested.🤢
It's called ashma
This is the type of guy that I'd like to have for a next door neighbor. A genuine good ole boy.
There is nothing funny about this trial.
What a good natured Ohio country boy. Quite familiar with them since I am from there myself. I hated seeing him have to hold back how upset he was that his own sister created this mess and involved his Momma too. I would have loved to be able to hear him say everything that is on his mind and in his heart. He deserves to be able to publicly get it off his chest. I liked that he hung them out to dry in other things too because he was no longer gonna be keeping secrets for these low life’s.
Don't forget that Billy's trial Is Next.
I wish they would take those swivel chairs out of the witness box, drives me crazy when they keep swinging back and forth, apart from that he’s a nice guy.
Nerves
He's ashamed it was his family that did it
I love this guy! If you have the opportunity to see him sittin by a bonfire or in a bar, pull up a seat and enjoy all the jovial stories I'm sure he's chocked full of! He seems to me like an honest, kind, respectful, loving person. God Bless him and his family 10 fold!
A bonfire..😆 Ok!
What is he being so cheerful about? Just wondering.
I agree with most of you, this man is so great. He wants to do the right thing. He has an incredible demeanor. He shows compassion for those who were killed. Love this man and pray he finds peace in his life, after this tragedy.
I can't focus on testimony for the constant "Um and AAAND" from THE PROSECUTOR. Somebody in her office should talk to her!
I’d love to talk to you…
OMG!!!!! I said the same! I couldn’t even watch her so called opening statement!! The ummm and ummmm! She’s horrible!
He felt Bamboozled , that’s the word he was thinking of but couldn’t remember and said betrayed.
You are a standup man. I'm sorry that you had to endure any of this.
Wish he could sit still and not being a clown. It s a serious terrible case, his sister and cousins have done.
They are not his cousins
They?are his nephews
What a likeable guy!
Oh they filled the hole in the wall.
For me it still begs the question why George if so emanzipated from his mum was okay with her awful behaviour regarding his then wife. It's strange that he was ok for his wife to leave the bedroom every night and for mummy to come in and give him back scratches and telling them how to raise their son...
I said the same thing a few weeks ago about the hole in the wall.
It looks like they painted the whole wall bc it looked like 💩 for TV. 😂 The back scratches was weird especially at that age.
He has the most gorgeous eyes
OMG! It's a murder trial ! Sound like a bunch of horny old toothless ladies.🤦🏽♀️
