Brendan Banfield has been convicted of aggravated murder. The jury took nine hours and came back guilty on every count. A former federal agent is going to spend the rest of his life in prison because twelve people believed Juliana — the au pair who walked free with time served after her murder charge got dropped to manslaughter.Tonight on Hidden Killers Live, defense attorney Bob Motta breaks down this verdict in real time. We're taking your questions and examining exactly what happened in that Virginia courtroom. The defense called Juliana bought and paid for. They hammered her deal, attacked her credibility, showed the jury a witness with every reason to lie. None of it worked.Bob explains where the defense strategy went wrong. The fundamental problem: they told jurors what didn't happen but never gave them something else to believe. You can poke holes in the prosecution's case all day. If you don't fill those holes with an alternative story, juries fill them themselves — usually with guilty verdicts.We're also breaking down Banfield's decision to testify. He took that stand and called the whole thing "absolutely crazy." He told the jury no reasonable person would kill their wife over a six-week fling. Bob analyzes whether that helped him or sealed his fate.The DNA wasn't on the knife. The digital forensics fight raised real questions about the investigation. None of it saved him. Join us live as we examine why — and take your questions about what comes next.#BrendanBanfield #BanfieldVerdict #BobMotta #HiddenKillersLive #ChristineBanfield #AggravatedMurder #TrueCrimeLive #DefenseStrategy #JulianaAuPair #LivePodcastJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The verdict is in. Brendan Banfield has been found guilty of aggravated murder in Fairfax County, Virginia. The former IRS special agent was convicted Monday in the February 2023 deaths of his wife Christine Banfield, 37, and Joseph Ryan, 39 — a man prosecutors say was catfished on a fetish website and lured to the family home as part of an elaborate murder plot.The jury of five men and seven women deliberated nearly nine hours over two days. They heard from 34 witnesses across three weeks of testimony, including the most damning account of all: Juliana Peres Magalhães, the family's au pair and Banfield's mistress, who told jurors she helped execute the plan and watched Banfield stab his wife.Magalhães originally faced second-degree murder charges. She struck a deal — plead to manslaughter, testify against Banfield, walk out with time served. The defense called her "bought and paid for" and attacked her credibility at every turn. They pointed out Banfield's DNA wasn't on the knife. They challenged the investigation as biased and the digital evidence as flawed.None of it worked. The jury believed the au pair.Under Virginia law, aggravated murder carries mandatory life without parole. Banfield, 40, will never leave prison. His four-year-old daughter — who was in the basement of the house during the killings — is now seven. She'll grow up visiting her father behind bars, if she visits at all.Today we cover the verdict, the key evidence, and what comes next as Banfield's team prepares the inevitable appeal.#TrueCrimeToday #BrendanBanfield #ChristineBanfield #AuPairMurder #GuiltyVerdict #JulianaMagalhaes #FairfaxCounty #MurderTrial #JosephRyan #LifeInPrisonJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Brendan Banfield will die in prison. A Fairfax County jury convicted the former IRS special agent of aggravated murder Monday in one of the most disturbing domestic murder plots in recent memory. The 40-year-old federal law enforcement officer now faces mandatory life without parole for the February 2023 killings of his wife Christine and Joseph Ryan — a stranger prosecutors say was lured to the family home and set up to take the fall. The prosecution's case hinged on testimony from Juliana Peres Magalhães, the family's 25-year-old Brazilian au pair who was having an affair with Banfield. She told jurors Banfield wanted to "get rid of" his wife so they could marry and have children together. According to her account, they created fake profiles on FetLife posing as Christine, catfished Ryan into believing he was meeting a willing woman for a violent sexual encounter, then executed him when he showed up.Magalhães testified she watched Banfield stab Christine seven times in the neck, then stage the scene — smearing his wife's blood on Ryan's body to frame him as the attacker. She admitted firing the second shot into Ryan herself. In exchange for her testimony, prosecutors reduced her murder charge to manslaughter with time served.The defense called her a liar who sold out her co-conspirator. They pointed to missing DNA evidence, challenged the digital forensics, and accused investigators of tunnel vision. Banfield took the stand and called the allegations "absolutely crazy." The jury deliberated nine hours and disagreed.We break down the conviction, the evidence, and the appeal that's coming.#BrendanBanfield #HiddenKillers #AuPairAffair #ChristineBanfield #TrueCrime #MurderConviction #JulianaMagalhaes #FairfaxCounty #LifeWithoutParole #JosephRyanJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two very different closing arguments in the double murder trial of Brendan Banfield. The defense ended strong, poking holes in the au pair’s testimony, saying none of it can be trusted, first because she has every incentive to cooperate with the prosecution and second, because the digital forensics don’t support the au pair’s and prosecution’s catfishing narrative. The prosecution sped though their closing, going through the evidence they presented, point by point, finishing in less than 20 minutes. There was no storytelling and little emotion, and ended with this conclusion: either you believe the au pair or you believe Brendan Banfield. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brendan Banfield just bet everything on himself.The Virginia man accused of killing his wife Christine and a stranger named Joseph Ryan took the witness stand today in Fairfax County Circuit Court. It's a move most defense attorneys advise against — once you testify, everything you say becomes ammunition for the prosecution. But Banfield apparently decided the only way to beat the au pair's testimony was to counter it directly.And counter it he did. Banfield admitted the affair with Juliana Peres Magalhães, the family's Brazilian au pair. He said it started in August 2022. But he told the jury he was upfront with her — this was just another affair, and it wasn't going to change his relationship with his wife. He said both he and Christine had strayed before. They'd gone to counseling. They'd made the decision to stay together.When asked if he plotted with the au pair to kill Christine, Banfield's response was immediate: "No, there was no plan." He called the accusation "absurd" and "absolutely crazy."The prosecution's theory is that Banfield and the au pair catfished Joseph Ryan using a fake profile on a fetish website, lured him to the house, then killed both Ryan and Christine in an elaborate staged crime scene. The au pair, who flipped on Banfield in exchange for a plea deal, testified to exactly that.Now the jury has two completely different stories. And Banfield has to survive cross-examination Thursday morning.#BrendanBanfield #TrueCrimeToday #AuPairAffair #ChristineBanfield #MurderTrial #FairfaxVirginia #JosephRyan #TrueCrimeNews #CourtTV #BreakingCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
