Welcome back to The Trial USA, the show where we follow the criminal cases unfolding inside American courtrooms, the ones shaping headlines, power, and politics in real time.

Now to our main story, the murder trial of Brendan Banfield.

This week, the woman at the center of the prosecution's case took the stand.

The family's former nanny, accused of helping orchestrate the crime, testified in court for the first time.

To break down what she said, what matters most, and how it could shape the outcome of the trial, I'm joined by Rachel Sharp, the Daily Mail's chief crime correspondent.

So, Rachel, for anyone who's new to this case, what exactly do prosecutors say happened?

Is there any evidence that showed that this was not Christine who made that profile?

Okay, so we have two very different tellings of the story.

But so far this week, we know that the nanny took the stand.

What did she say?

And obviously she's there having to defend herself.

So has she turned on her former alleged lover?

What did she have to say?

So is she facing any murder charges anymore?
