LIVE: VA v. Brendan Banfield - Day 7 | Au Pair Affair Murder Trial

LIVE: A frantic 911 call led police to the Banfield home, where Christine Banfield was found fatally stabbed and Joseph Ryan was shot dead. Investigators later uncovered an affair between Brendan Banfield and the family’s au pair, #JulianaMagalhaes, and an alleged plot to lure Ryan to the house under the guise of a violent sex encounter.

Magalhaes pleaded guilty to manslaughter and later told prosecutors the scheme was orchestrated by #BrendanBanfield to avoid a divorce.
