Wagner Demands Court Hearing Amid Trial Push | Cincinnati News

George Wagner, the man behind the 2016 Pike County murders, is demanding transparency as he seeks a court hearing, claiming he’s been fed lies and silenced for eight years under a gag order — even though he admits he struggles to read or hear and had his letter written by another inmate. Prosecutors want to keep his trial local, arguing media frenzy has faded since it was moved last time, while the judge has set January 11 for trial on eight counts of aggravated homicide. Meanwhile, the death penalty question is back on the table after an appeals court ruling — and Wagner’s family still awaits justice.
