AFTERNOON BREAK IN OH v. #GeorgeWagnerIV: I think all of the questioning today was to make Jake Wagner comfortable taking questions from John Patrick Parker. @LawCrimeNetwork

After lunch, Parker asked Jake about all of the people he has lied to: The Rhodens- I did. The Manleys - I did. BCI- I did. You lied to Beth Anne - I did. @LawCrimeNetwork

Parker then asks: "you sir, are a cold-blooded killer?"
Jake smiles: "I am."
Parker: You're a liar.
Jake: I was. @LawCrimeNetwork

Parker then has Jake read the GoFundMe story for the account Angela set up to raise money for his legal bills for custody. It ends with "I hate to see my daughter cry." Jake said he approved of his mom setting it up. @LawCrimeNetwork

Parker then shows Jake photos of Corey and Hanna kissing from Facebook. Jake had seen those photos and admits "it brings back memories." He admits, "to an extent" when asked if he was jealous @LawCrimeNetwork

Parker asks whether he sold a woman a chicken at swap days. Jake: "I did." He says he bragged about selling a woman a pregnant chicken at swap days. State objects. He says he's told that story so many times he can't remember whether it actually happened or not @LawCrimeNetwork

Parker asks whether he has problems with his memory. Jake says he does. Jake admits he gets confused sometimes and has trouble remembering things. "Sometimes I remember things in pieces that didn't happen that way." @LawCrimeNetwork

Jake is asked when was the last time that he saw his daughter? He said the day he was arrested. Parker: you said you asked the state for a lot of things? Jake: I did. @LawCrimeNetwork

Jake admits he asked for a family reunion with his mom, brother and dad to happen before he goes to prison and to include Bulvine and Sophia. He was told that wasn't on the table. @LawCrimeNetwork

Jake says he also asked for George and Angela's charges to be dropped. Not Billy's though. State said no. @LawCrimeNetwork

Jake admits he told BCI he hit a deer with Chris Sr's truck the night of the murders on 772. (Is there damage to the truck, I wonder?) @LawCrimeNetwork

Jake also said "I would say I remember things like a jigsaw puzzle. Some of the things are there and some are not. @LawCrimeNetwork

Jake admits his lawyers had presented the evidence against him prior to his proffer. Jake admits about the death penalty that he didn't want to die. @LawCrimeNetwork

Parker: Do you think going to prison for the rest of your life is punishment?
Jake: No @LawCrimeNetwork

Parker: What do you expect when you go to prison?
State objects. Sustained. Parker: Do you think there will be a workout room? State objects and Canepa laughs audibly. @LawCrimeNetwork

Parker further questions Jake about his memory and what he told prosecutors versus what he testified to. He doesn't remember telling prosecutors that he put the SKS in the truck after firing at Chris Sr.'s truck @LawCrimeNetwork

Parker then asks q's about the goose house which Jake now called a duck house. Jake said he took the guns out of the duffle bag in the new barn in June for Father's Day for Grandpa Wagner. Then he says birthday which is in Jan or Feb @LawCrimeNetwork

Jake said he and Billy planned the murders when asked by Parker. Parker then implies through Q's that Canepa and Scheiderer gave answers to Jake by the way they asked their q's. @LawCrimeNetwork

Parker: do you have plans to meet your daughter?
State objects. Sustained. @LawCrimeNetwork Much more later
