WATCH HERE: Chris Newcomb, Angela Wagner's younger half-brother, is on the stand in OH v. #GeorgeWagnerIV @LawCrimeNetwork

Newcomb is asked to describe the Wagner family dynamics. He said they were close.

When asked, Chris Newcomb said his sister was controlling. He said "when she said jumped, they jumped." Billy and Angela's relationship was "Dysfunctional." Billy was "as useless as tits on a boar. I'm sorry, am I allowed to say that?" @LawCrimeNetwork

Newcomb says Billy didn't want to do anything. He was always scheming. @LawCrimeNetwork

@LawCrimeNetwork Angie Canepa: “Was George protective of Jake?”
Chris Newcomb: “That was his little brother. He was told to protect him and take care of him.” Newcomb said Angela Wagner tried to act more like a mother to Bulvine and Sophia than she should have. @LawCrimeNetwork

Newcomb says George asked him to find a .40 caliber Glock for him once. Newcomb buys and trades things. @LawCrimeNetwork

Newcomb says of Hanna May Rhoden: I thought the world of her. She was a great mother. From what I saw, she was a great mother. Newcomb also liked Frankie Rhoden. @LawCrimeNetwork

Newcomb says George is the better mechanic between him and Jake. He says Billy told him about how he stole diesel fuel. He said he also knew that Billy used pills. Billy gave him money to get pills from an MD. @LawCrimeNetwork

Newcomb said he saw GW4's tattoo with the skull with the 8 ball in his mouth. He said he saw it but they didn't discuss the meaning @LawCrimeNetwork

Newcomb says the Wagners told him not to talk to BCI. He said he defended them at first. He said when Jake pleaded guilty he was enraged. He said that if he saw him, he would have beaten him within an inch of his life. "That is a monstrous act." @LawCrimeNetwork

Newcomb says he was also enraged at his sister, Angela. He says his mother, Rita, was also charged in the case. (Rita later pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and agreed to testify). I would guess she'll be coming up soon. @LawCrimeNetwork

Rita Newcomb pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor of obstructing official business in December 2019 for lying about notarizing custody documents. Newcomb said he felt betrayed when Jake confessed. He would have never thought his family would do that @LawCrimeNetwork

Newcomb said after the homicides, somethings seemed to take on more significance, such as this profile pic on George's Facebook page. It has a wolf shot in the eye. Newcomb said he was aware one victim was shot in the eye (Kenneth) @LawCrimeNetwork

After this line of questioning ended, GW4 was whispering to his attorneys as court took an afternoon break @LawCrimeNetwork
