Where does reasonable doubt get built? What should the defense be hammering in that courtroom?The prosecution's own digital forensics expert contradicted their catfishing theory — and was transferred out of the unit. The lead detective who questioned the theory was reassigned. The original prosecutor was removed. Twelve homicide detectives had 24 different theories until Juliana Peres Magalhaes gave her proffer after sitting in jail for a year.Motta explains how a skilled defense attorney weaves all of this into a narrative that makes jurors question everything the state is selling. He breaks down how to neutralize the framed photo evidence, how to flip Banfield's law enforcement background from liability to asset, and what it means that Judge Azcarate excluded the child's forensic interview.The prosecution needed 19 months to charge Brendan Banfield. They've had investigators transferred, experts silenced, and prosecutors removed. Motta tells you what reasonable doubt looks like in a case with this many problems.We're taking your questions live.
