YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Family au pair Juliana Peres Magalhães took the stand in a Virginia courtroom and told jurors why she says she “finally confessed” against her former lover, Brendan Banfield, who is on trial accused of orchestrating a chilling double murder. Prosecutors allege Banfield plotted with Magalhães to lure Joseph Ryan to the family’s home through a fetish website before killing both Ryan and Banfield’s wife, Christine Banfield. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber breaks down the dramatic courtroom testimony with former Fairfax County prosecutor Eric Clingan.
