Au Pair Affair Murder Trial: Brendan Banfield Takes The Stand In His Own Defense

That was effective.

It was effective.

Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes Present

He said that Christine knew about two of his affairs, and he implied he had more than two, and that he knew about her affairs, and he explained how they worked in jobs where they had to be gone for long periods of time, and it's just what happened, but they went to marriage counseling.

Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes Present

So yes, it sounds like

Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes Present

him having an affair wouldn't be marriage ending.

Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes Present

So that takes away some of that issue or motive that you would think, well, yes, she's going to divorce me and then I'll lose my daughter.

So you're telling me he is so in love in six weeks with the 21-year-old au pair that he hatches a master plan to kill his wife.

Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes Present

And he said to that, quote from him,

Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes Present
Au Pair Affair Murder Trial: Brendan Banfield Takes The Stand In His Own Defense

That is absolutely crazy.

Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes Present
Au Pair Affair Murder Trial: Brendan Banfield Takes The Stand In His Own Defense

And when he said that is absolutely crazy, the way he set it up, I hadn't thought about it.

Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes Present
Au Pair Affair Murder Trial: Brendan Banfield Takes The Stand In His Own Defense

I didn't know that he had had prior affairs.

Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes Present

And I didn't know that they had only been in a sexual relationship for less than two months.

Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes Present

So again, the suggestion is that he was talking about marriage, their future with the au pair,

Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes Present

how the au pair was going to be the new mommy, and everything was going to be great.

Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes Present

And six weeks, and in order for this plan to happen, after six weeks, I'm so sure that I am going to do all of this stuff.

Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes Present
Au Pair Affair Murder Trial: Brendan Banfield Takes The Stand In His Own Defense

If you're talking about reasonable doubt and just a reasonable person, that just sounds like far-fetched.

Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes Present
Au Pair Affair Murder Trial: Brendan Banfield Takes The Stand In His Own Defense

Yes, I was like, as soon as he said it, I thought, damn, I get that.

Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes Present
Au Pair Affair Murder Trial: Brendan Banfield Takes The Stand In His Own Defense

That makes sense.

Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes Present
Au Pair Affair Murder Trial: Brendan Banfield Takes The Stand In His Own Defense

And I think we have heard from legal minds, people who know more about juries than we do, that when things just make sense, juries, that's what they bite on.

Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes Present

When things don't make sense, you're like, huh.
