'HOT' KILLER-NANNY POSTS SEXY BATHTUB SELFIES WITH MARRIED IRS AGENT BANFIELD BEFORE WIFE MURDERED: Verdict In

from Crime Stories with Nancy Grace · host iHeartPodcasts and CrimeOnline

Brendan Banfield and au pair Juliana Magalhães carry on an affair for months. Banfield begins creating the murder plan after telling Magalhães he wants to get rid of his wife and divorce is not an option. He doesn't want to spend the money, nor does he want to share custody of their 4-year-old daughter. The jury has heard the murder plan Banfield came up with...a home invasion that involves giving Magalhaes a gun and instructing her to call Christine's phone when Joseph Ryan enters the home. Magalhaes is then supposed to call Banfield as he waits at a McDonald's near the home. Peres Magalhaes says Banfield changes his regular routine leading up to the murders so it would not seem out of routine for him to be at the McDonald's at that time of the morning.  Ryan is shot by Magalhães, then Christine is stabbed to death by her husband.  Magalhães confesses to police. Now a jury weighs in.  Joining Nancy Grace today: Mark Tate - Trial Lawyer, The Tate Law Group  Dr. Bethany Marshall - Psychoanalyst, Author: "Deal Breaker," featured in hit show: "Paris in Love" on Peacock, www.drbethanymarshall.com , Instagram & TikTok: drbethanymarshall, Twitter: @DrBethanyLive  Dr. Kendall Crowns - Chief Medical Examiner Tarrant County (Ft Worth), Host of Podcast "Mayhem in the Morgue”, Lecturer: Burnett School of Medicine at TCU (Texas Christian University)  Gigi McKelvey - Journalist, Host: “Pretty Lies and Alibis” prettyliesandalibis.org, Facebook, IG, TikTok: @PrettyLiesAndAlibis, Twitter: @PrettiesLiesAlibi,  Dave Mack - Investigative Reporter, 'Crime Stories' See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
