YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

We’re LIVE from Virginia for Day 5 of VA v. Brendan Banfield, the so-called “Au Pair Affair” double murder trial. Prosecutors say a husband, his au pair and a staged “violent sex game” ended with his wife, Christine Banfield, stabbed to death and Joseph Ryan shot and killed.

Juliana Magalhaes, the Brazilian au pair, has already pleaded guilty to manslaughter and points the finger at Banfield as the mastermind. Was this a home invasion… or a murder plot to avoid divorce?
