Man gets life in prison for 2016 slaughter of 8 Ohio family members
A man who assisted in the slaughter of eight members from the same Ohio family will spend the rest of his life in prison without the chance of ever getting out, a judge determined Monday.
Gilley was engaged to one of the other slain victims in the shooting planned and carried out by Wagner’s brother, mother and father, according to prosecutors. Wagner and his family schemed to kill the Rhoden family because there was a dispute over custody of Wagner’s niece, whose mother was among the murdered, authorities have said.
Wagner denied he had any involvement in the massacre, but was still convicted of 22 counts connected to the case, including aggravated murder. He avoided the death penalty because his brother Edward “Jake” Wagner agreed to testify against his other family members and pleaded guilty to aggravated murder and other charges.Mother Angela Wagner pleaded guilty to helping plan the slaying while her husband George “Billy” Wagner III pleaded not guilty.
