#GeorgeWagnerIV trial concludes it seventh week (6th week of testimony) with stunning testimony from Jake's Wagner's former wife, Elizabeth Armer, 29, who appeared calm and collected during cross examination. 1/5 
Armer said her father was in the military and that is why her family moved often when she was a child. She testified she lived in an Amish-Mennonite community for seven years before she moved to Alaska, where she ultimately met Jake at church. 2/5
She recounted Wagner family meetings of which she overhead conversations of which she was not a part. She said Jake was "not very interested in learning in general," he didn't read books, was not a good writer and didn't have a good understanding of Christianity. 3/5
She said the family threatened to murder her and her family members and it was those threats that lead her to plan her escape after the Wagners and she moved back to Ohio in 2018, which she did on July 8. 4/5
At the end of his cross examination Wagner's lawyer, John Parker, asked her why she didn't want to talk with defense lawyers before. "Because the Wagners terrify me ... would you want to talk to people who terrify you?" 5/5
