She claimed that the scene was exactly as they described it, that they don't know what was going on between Christine Banfield and this stranger, but that when he walked in, he was defending his wife by killing the attacker, and the attacker was stabbing his wife.
She stood by that story for more than a year.
And then right before her trial was about to start, and right as we started hearing, as they were reading it in court yesterday, the letters she was writing to Brendan and his mom, she was getting more desperate.
She was getting more depressed.
She was becoming suicidal.
And then this plea deal lands in her lap.
