HOW LONG THE WIND STAYS BLUSTERY NEXT. >> THIS IS WLWT NEWS 5, LEADING THE WAY. KELLY: THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. IT IS DEFINITELY A CHANGE SINCE EARLY THIS MORNING. THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US. STEVEN: WE TOUCHED 60 DEGREES AND YOU AND I GOT TO WORK AND THEN BY THE TIME WE GOT OFF THE MORNING SHOW IT WAS BARELY 40. ALLISON: WE ARE GOING TO STAY IN THE 30’S FOR THE WHOLE DAY, BUT ON TOP OF THAT WE HAVE A WIND MAKING IT YELL LIKE THE 20’S AND BLUSTERY. HONESTLY JUST CALLED. SOME WIND GUSTING CLOSE TO 30 MILES AN HOUR. SOME SPOTS LIKE OXFORD TOPPING 30. 31 MOUNT ORAB UP. THEY WILL STICK AROUND FOR MUCH OF TODAY WITH THE STRONGEST COMING IN EARLY THIS MORNING AND GUSTS UP TO 44 MILES AN HOUR IN CVG. SIMILAR IN WILMINGTON WITH A WIND GUST OF 39 MILES AN HOUR. THE STRONG GUSTS ARE PRETTY MUCH FINISHED FOR THE REST OF THE DAY BUT WE WILL — WE WILL FEEL SOME REACHING 30 MILES AN HOUR FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY. THE TEMPERATURE CHANGE IS BRUTAL AND YOU KNOW IT AS SOON AS YOU STEP OUTSIDE AND YOU FILE IT. IT FEELS 20 DEGREES COLDER RIGHT NOW THAN WHERE WE WERE YESTERDAY. SO THE COOL AND COMFORTABLE DAYS ARE PRETTY MUCH OVER. IT WILL STAY COLD FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY. 36 FEELING LIKE 25. 32 THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY AND UP UNTIL 2:00 FEELING MORE LIKE 27 DEGREES. COMING UP I WILL GO OVER WHAT TO EXPECT THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY AND THE WEEK. KELLY: THANK YOU. MUCH TO CHECK IN ON. JURY DELIBERATIONS ARE UNDERWAY IN THE PIKE COUNTY MURDER TRIAL, THE FIRST ONE AFTER 2.5 MONTHS OF TESTIMONY. STEVEN: GEORGE WAGNER IV COULD FACE LIFE IN PRISON IF CONVICTED. WE WILL BE ALIVE AT THE COURTHOUSE ALL DAY, AND WE START TODAY WITH TODD DYKES. THINGS ARE GOING AND QUESTIONS ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH. TODD: THERE HAS BEEN SOME MOVEMENT. IN THE LAST HALF HOUR BEFORE. GEORGE WAGNER’S FATE IS IN THE HANDS OF 12 PIKE COUNTY RESIDENTS. THOSE OF THE JURORS WHO BEGAN HEARING RESIDENTS AGAIN — EVIDENCE AGAINST GEORGE WAGNER BACK IN SEPTEMBER AND AFTER SPENDING MORE THAN 40 DAYS LISTENING TO TESTIMONY THEY FACE A TALL TASK. THEY NEED TO SYNTHESIZE A HUGE AMOUNT OF EVIDENCE AS THEY HONE IN ON THE KEY QUESTION, IS WAGNER GUILTY OR INNOCENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE PIKE COUNTY MASSACRE THAT LEFT EIGHT PEOPLE DEAD. TODAY MEMBERS WERE NOT INSTRUCTED TO TALK ABOUT THE CASE WITH ANYONE INCLUDING AMONG THEMSELVES. THIS MORNING THAT IS NO LONGER THE CASE AND THEIR MISSION IS TO DECIDE IF WAGNER TOLD THE TRUTH WHEN HE TESTIFIED THAT HE DID NOT TAKE PART IN THE MURDEROUS PLAN. >> IF YOU FIND THAT THE STATE PROVE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT ALL OF THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF COMPLICITY, YOUR VERDICT MUST BE GUILTY. IF YOU FIND THE STATE FAILED TO PROVE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT THAT THE DEFENDANT IS GUILTY, EITHER AS A PRINCIPAL OFFENDER OR AS COMPLACENT — COMPLICIT IN THE GIVEN ACCOUNTS OF SPECIFICATIONS, THEN YOUR INDICTMENT MUST BE NOT KELCE AS TO SPECIFICATION. TODD: THAT IS IT IN A NUTSHELL. GEORGE WAGNER FACES 22 COUNTS INCLUDING AGGRAVATED MURDER. BECAUSE JAKE WAGNER TESTIFIED DURING THE TRIAL THE DEATH PENALTY IS OFF THE TABLE. THE MOST SEVERE PENALTY THAT GEORGE WAGNER FACES IF CONVICTED WOULD BE LIFE IN PRISON. FOR NOW REPORTING LIVE, TODD DYKES. KELLY: AS WE HAVE REPORTED. GEORGE W — WAGNER’S ATTORNEYS TALKED ABOUT THE LACK OF DNA EVIDENCE IN HIS CONNECTION WITH THE CRIME SCENE. WHAT EVIDENCE THAT HAVE — WHAT IMPACT SO THAT HAVE IN THE JURY? TODD: NOT INSIGNIFICANT. THERE IS BEEN MOVEMENT BECAUSE THE STATE’S CASE HINGES ON JAKE WAGNER’S TESTIMONY WHO PUT HIS BROTHER AT THE CRIME SCENE AND THAT HE TOOK PART. A SHORT TIME AGO JURORS ASK FOR A COPY OF HIS TESTIMONY VIA TRANSCRIPT. THE JUDGE WAS AGREEABLE TO THAT, BUT THEN THE JURY DECIDED THAT THAT WAS NOT NECESSARILY THE CASE SO THERE HAS BEEN WIND ON THE RECORD HEARING A MOMENT AGO AS DELIBERATIONS BEGAN. IT IS GOING TO COME DOWN TO WHO THE JURY BELIEVES, WHETHER JAKE OR ANGELA TESTIFYING AGAINST GEORGE OR IF THEY BELIEVE THAT GEORGE WAS ASLEEP AND KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT. WE WILL SEE HOW THAT TURNS OUT. KELLY: TODD DYKES REPORTING FOR US AND HE HAS BEEN FOLLOWING IT SINCE THE BEGINNING. UC STUDENTS RETURNING FROM THANKSGIVING BREAK TO FIND THAT THEIR HOMES WERE BROKEN INTO. STEVEN: POLICE ARE LOOKING INTO THAT STRING OF BURGLARIES WITH SEVERAL OF THEM HAPPENING ON THE SAME TWO STREETS WHEN POLICE BEGAN RECEIVING CALLS ABOUT BREAK-INS CLOSE TO SHORT FINE. STUDENTS TOLD POLICE THAT THE SUSPECT ENTERED THROUGH AN UNLOCKED DOOR AND THROUGH OTHERS INTRUDERS BROKE A WINDOW AND RIPPED OUT THE SCREENS. ONE STUDENT SAID THAT ALL THE DOORS WERE KICKED IN, ALL THE FOOD WAS EATEN AND $30,000 WORTH OF ITEMS WERE MISSING. POLICE ARE URGING STUDENTS TO TAKE THE VALUABLES WITH THEM ON THEIR BRINGS AND TO HAVE A SURVEILLANCE CAMERA ON THE PROPERTY. INCIDENT IS UNDER INVESTIGATION. KELLY: POLICE HAVE IDENTIFIED THE VICTIMS OF A DEADLY CRASH THAT LEFT A MAN DEAD AND ANOTHER INJURED. THE VICTIM HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS STANLEY COX AND HIS CRITICALLY INJURED PASSENGER IS DEVER COX. STANLEY WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC WHEN ANDREW APPROACHED THE RAMP AND CRASHED INTO THE VEHICLE CAUSING A I’VE CAR PILEUP. — A FIVE CAR PILEUP.
