An IRS agent, a Brazilian au pair, a secret affair, and a wife who was told “divorce was not an option.” Prosecutors say that’s where the murder plot started.
Tonight we break down the Brendan Banfield au pair trial: the FetLife messages, the staged “home invasion,” the child in the basement, and the deal that lets the au pair testify after a manslaughter plea.
Scott Reisch uses 30+ years of criminal defense experience to dissect motive, premeditation, and whether this was a badly staged self-defense story or a cold, calculated execution.
