YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOn the one hand, maybe Brendan Banfield had nothing to lose this week by taking the stand to deny he disguised a double murder to look like a stranger from the internet killed his wife, says former Palm Beach County, Florida, State Attorney Dave Aronberg, “The problem is,” he told “Elizabeth Vargas Reports” on Thursday, Banfield "came across as cold and calculated and I don’t think very likeable.” Closing arguments in the “au pair” murder trial are set for Friday.
