4:04Now PlayingNBC News legal analyst Misty Marris breaks down the high-profile Virginia double-murder trial of Brendan Banfield, who is accused of killing his wife and a second victim in an alleged staged crime involving the family’s au pair. Marris explains why the prosecution’s case largely hinges on the credibility of a cooperating witness who accepted a plea deal — and how the defense is working to cast doubt by attacking the investigation and presenting alternative theories. A complex, closely watched case with major implications for how juries evaluate plea-deal testimony.
