THE WAY. MIKE: DESCRIBING HIS BROTHER AS STRONG AS A BULL OX, JAKE WAGNER SAYS GEORGE HELPED HIM DIG A HOLE TO BURY MULTIPLE MURDER WEAPONS. GOOD EVENING. I AM MIKE DARDIS. SHEREE: I’M SHEREE PAOLELLO. THAT WAS JUST ONE OF THE REVELATIONS JURORS HEARD TODAY. IN THE FIRST PIKE COUNTY MURDER CASE TO GO TO TRIAL. WLWT NEWS 5’S TODD DYKES IS LIVE IN WAVERLY WITH MORE. TODD. >> JAKE WAGNER IS THE STATE OF OHIO’S STAR WITNESS. HE’S ALREADY CONFESSED TO EXECUTING A PLAN TO KILL 8 MEMBERS OF THE RHODEN FAMILY IN APRIL 2016. JAKE IS TESTIFYING AGAINST HIS BROTHER GEORGE WHO’S ON TRIAL FOR MURDER. ASSUMING HIS TESTIMONY LIVES UP TO PROSECUTORS’ EXPECTATIONS, THE PROSPECT OF THE DEATH PENALTY WILL GO AWAY FOR JAKE, GEORGE AND THEIR PARENTS, BILLY AND ANGELA WAGNER. BECAUSE JAKE HAS OBJECTED TO LETTING US BROADCAST HIS TESTIMONY, THIS IS THE BEST LOOK AT HIM. IT IS A PHOTO CAPTURED BEFORE HE WAS LED INTO THE COURTHOUSE. JAKE TESTIFIED GEORGE HELPED HIM BURY THE MURDER WEAPONS IN A BARN NEAR THEIR HOUSE. LATER, JAKE SAID HE PUT PARTS OF THE GUNS IN CONCRETE BUCKETS THAT WERE PART OF A HOMEMADE NESTING FLOAT FOR GEESE, WHICH THE WAGNERS GAVE TO BILLY’S DAD IN JUNE 2016. >> THEY GAVE IT TO HIM FOR FATHER’S DAY THAT YEAR AND FLOATED IT ON THE POND, THAT BIG POND THAT YOU SAW OUT THERE. AND USED THE CONCRETE BUCKETS FULL OF THE MURDER WEAPONS AS ANCHORS. >> THAT’S A PORTION OF PROSECUTOR ANGELA CANEPA’S OPENING STATEMENT. JAKE’S TESTIMONY SO FAR HAS BASICALLY CORROBORATED WHAT CANEPA SAID MORE THAN ONE MONTH AGO, WHEN GEORGE WAGNER’S TRIAL GOT STARTED. SHEREE: TODD AS YOU’VE BEEN REPORTING, A BATTLE FOR CONTROL OVER THE DAUGHTER JAKE WAGNER HAD WITH VICTIM HANNA RHODEN WAS THE ALLEGED MOTIVE FOR THE KILLINGS. HOW MUCH HAS JAKE TALKED MUCH HIS DAUGHTER SO FAR? AND WHAT’S HIS DEMEANOR LIKE ON THE WITNESS STAND SINCE WE ARE NOT ABLE TO SEE OR HEAR HIM? >>. AND IT IN HE’S SPENT A FAIR POINT. AMOUNT OF TIME TALKING ABOUT HIS LITTLE GIRL. TODAY, WE LEARNED HE TOLD HER ABOUT HANNA’S MURDER A WEEK OR TWO AFTER THE PIKE COUNTY MASSACRE. THAT WAS THE EXTENT OF THE TESTIMONY. AS FOR JAKE WAGNER’S DEMEANOR, HE’S BEEN CONSISTENTLY CALM, COOL AND PERHAPS A BIT CALCULATING. HE’S SHOWN VIRTUALLY NO EMOTION WHILE TALKING ABOUT HIS DAUGHTER OR ABOUT THE KILLINGS HE’S CONFESSED TO. SHEREE: LIVE FOR US ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH. MIKE: TURN INTO WEATHER, I ALMOST FEEL LIKE WE NEED THE BREAKING NEWS BANNER ON THIS BECAUSE IT HAS NOT BEEN RAINING IN SUCH A LONG TIME. RAIN CHANCES FOR SOME CLIMBING AS THE SUN GOES DOWN. SHEREE: KEVIN ROBINSON HAS THE LATEST CHECK ON THE RADAR AND CINCINNATI’S WAS ACCURATE FORECAST. WE ARE GETTING A LITTLE RAIN BUT NOT FOR LONG. KEVIN: AND NOT A LOT OUT THERE. I THINK A LOT OF FOLKS ARE GOING TO BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THE AMOUNT OF RAIN THE END UP RADAR IS STILL QUIET SO IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO DO OVER THE NEXT ONE TO TWO HOURS, I THINK YOU ARE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE. IT IS STILL GOING TO BE DRY BETWEEN NOW AND MOST LIKELY 6:00 OR 7:00 THIS EVENING. I WILL GIVE YOU THE EXPANDED VIEW AND SHOW YOU THE AREA OF RAIN COMING IN FROM OUR WEST. IT IS NOT PARTICULARLY HEAVY AND A LOT OF IT IS FALLING APART AS IT MOVES THIS WAY. IT IS ALL STILL TO THE WEST OF I-65 SO IT IS STILL AT LEAST 100 PLUS MILES AWAY FROM THE MAJORITY OF US IN CINCINNATI. THAT WOULD BRING ANY REAL THREAT OF RAIN IN HERE PROBABLY UNTIL 7:00 OR LATER THAN THAT. WE WILL KEEP AN ION AND HAVE AN UPDATE ON WHO OR WHICH COMMUNITIES SHARE THE BEST CHANCE OF SEEING THE MOST RAIN AND THE CHANGES THAT WILL FOLLOW. SHEREE: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE UPDATE. A CONFRONTATION AT THE BANKS CAUGHT ON CAMERA. THE 14 SECOND CLIP HAS NOW BEEN VIEWED MORE THAN 14,000 TIMES. THE WOMAN WHO SHOT THE VIDEO TOLD WLWT NEWS 5’S KARIN JOHNSON MORE HAPPENED THAN WHAT PEOPLE ARE COMMENTING ON. KARIN IS LIVE AT THE BANKS TO EXPLAIN. >> IN THE VIDEO, YOU CAN SEE THE INCIDENT TOOK PLACE AT ONE OF THE PICNIC TABLES OUTSIDE HOLY GRAIL. IN THE VIDEO, YOU CAN SEE A MAN, WHO APPEARS TO BE A SECURITY GUARD, IS SEEN SLAMMING ANOTHER MAN’S HEAD ON THE TABLE. TONIGHT, A WITNESS EXPLAINS WHAT LED TO UP THIS. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS VIDEO A MAN AT THE BANKS HAD HIS HEAD SLAMMED AGAINST A PICNIC TABLE AT LEAST TWICE BY ANOTHER MAN WHO APPEARS TO BE A BOUNCER FOR THE HOLY GRAIL. THE VIDEO VIEWED THOUSANDS OF TIMES ON SOCIAL MEDIA HAS PEOPLE CALLING IT DISGUSTING, NAUSEATING AND DIFFICULT TO WATCH. >> HE COULD HAVE REALLY HURT THAT GUY. LIKE, HE COULD HAVE GAVE HIM A CONCUSSION OR SOMETHING. >> AVA NEWBILL WAS THERE AND SHOT THE VIDEO. WHILE SHE DOESN’T AGREE WITH THE VIOLENCE, SHE SAYS WHAT YOU SEE IN THE 14 SECOND CLIP DOESN’T TELL THE WHOLE STORY. >> YOU KNOW, HE, HE WAS EXCESSIVE WITH HIS USAGE OF FORCE. BUT I STILL FEEL LIKE, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY HAS LIKE THEIR WITS END AND IT’S JUST LIKE HE WAS GETTING PUSHED TO HIS WIT’S END WITH THAT GUY, AND IT JUST KIND OF ESCALATED. >> LEADING UP TO THE INCIDENT SUNDAY NIGHT NEWBILL SAYS THE MAN WHO HAD HIS HEAD SLAMMED STARTED SHAKING OUTSIDE RAILINGS. >> AND THE SECURITY GUARD WITH HIM JUST KEPT GIVING HIM VERBAL WARNINGS LIKE, YOU NEED TO STOP, YOU NEED TO LEAVE. >> NEWBILL SAYS THE GUY WAS THROWN OUT. >> BUT HE RETURNED WITH INTENT TO MESS WITH THAT GUY.
