Former IRS Officer Sentenced to Life

A former IRS officer sentenced to life for orchestrating a brutal double murder to be with his lover, Brendan Banfield’s chilling plot involved luring a man to his home under false pretenses, shooting him, and then killing his wife — all while his four-year-old daughter watched. The au pair, who admitted to helping plan the crime and firing a fatal second shot, received a 10-year sentence. Banfield, who claims innocence and says the system failed him, was convicted of child endangerment and called “evil and calculated” by the judge. Victims’ families shared their anguish as the court underscored the horrific disregard for life and innocence. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
