Day 11: No Verdict Yet After Closing Arguments
from The Banfield Trial: Unfiltered Courtroom Notes · host Fox 5 DC
It was a packed house in court today as attorneys delivered closing arguments, followed by four hours of jury deliberation with no verdict yet. With their star witness Juliana Magalhães (the family’s au pair), digital footprints, blood forensics and more, prosecutors told jurors Brendan Banfield killed his wife Christine and Joe Ryan, a stranger he lured to their home to set up as a fall guy. The defense countered that the au pair's testimony was bought and paid for, and that Banfield declared under oath that he's innocent. Will the verdict be reached on Monday? Tune in next week to see.
