And just so you know, in addition to the aggravated murder charges, Brendan Banfield was also charged with one count of felony child abuse and neglect and one count of felony child cruelty related to everything that transpired that day.

That's a great question.

They may have been building this case behind the scenes against Brendan.

Investigators like to take their time.

They like to build their case and be able to to do this just the once.

That's it.

That's all you get.

And so by the time Juliana was arrested, she was not only living in the marital home, a place that she was supposed to be an employee, but she had moved directly into the bedroom with Brendan Banfield.

Look, I've been doing this for 25 years, and I have seen cases across this country of all different magnitudes.

And this is...

The level of detail and the things that have happened and the things that have come out in this courtroom about what went on allegedly behind those, you know, behind those walls of that house.

It's it is it's really hard to understand.

It really is.

It's almost like she sort of slipped right into Christine's place.

It's exactly what it seems like.

And then not only does she do that, but according to Juliana, this relationship continues after her arrest.

His mom, apparently, according to Juliana, is paying for her defense attorney at this point.

Wow.

So Brendan is then arrested in September 2024.

And Juliana decides to cooperate with authorities in October 2024.
