To make that happen, they said he and the au pair impersonated his wife online using a BDSM site to lure Joseph Ryan to the house under the guise of a sexual fantasy.

When Ryan arrived, prosecutors said Banfield shot him, then stabbed his wife, Christine Banfield, and tried to frame Ryan as the attacker.

The au pair later pleaded guilty to manslaughter and testified against Banfield, describing the plan in detail.

Banfield denied this plot, but after two days of deliberations, the jury rejected his version of events.

He now faces the possibility of life in prison with sentencing scheduled for May 8th.

See you then.

He went through back surgery.

And one thing that they say here is that the real enemy here is the medical system.

And that is one thing that you can definitely expect his legal team to argue.

One of our last conversations we had that was good was that he wants my best friend who's a dentist to do his veneers and wants to get a nose job.

Would you ever want to marry me if they knew that I killed a boyfriend and helped?

Nancy, there was a 3D printed gun.

It's a handgun, which is believed to could possibly be the murder weapon.
