Hey there, folks. It is Thursday, January 29th, and Brendan Banfield, the man accused in the so-called Au Pair Affair double murder trial, is on the stand. And today, for the first time, any of us have heard his version of events, the day his wife and another man were killed in his bedroom. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and T.J., We've heard the prosecution's story. We've heard their star witness's story. Robes, this is a much different story. He's gone through the whole thing. You tell me, first of all, is this a believable story?
This was a hard one for me to fully get my head around because the way Brendan Banfield told the story, I have to believe and the jury has to believe that Joseph Ryan came over to Christine Banfield's house to kill her. That is hard for me to get my head around because so far what we've seen in terms of any sort of text messaging back and forth, it seemed as though Joe Ryan was just a guy who was into some role play, some kinky sex. There's nothing in his past and nothing that I've heard yet that would suggest or give any kind of motive When someone has a gun on you to start stabbing that person's wife or if he thought it was the police, why would he then murder? I had a hard time with his version of events.
And that was key. And I think you're right, Robes. You couldn't get your head. He had me up to that point. You just can't make sense of it. So a lot of you've been following this case. Is this the third full week? I think maybe of this trial now, but Brendan Banfield on trial for killing his wife, Christine, and another man, Joe Ryan. According to prosecutors, Brendan Banfield hatched a plan with his au pair, who he was having an affair with, hatched a plan to set up a fake fetish website account for christine banfield and then lure this man over to have that man engage in some kind of a sexual activity and then have brendan banfield come in see this man attacking his wife kill his wife kill the man and then have the man take the fall for the wife's death that gets you caught up so the au pair robes tells this whole story it goes along with the prosecution story
