Au Pair Affair Murders Trial: Prosecution Rests, Defense Begins

Criminal defense attorney Alison Triessl has been closely following the Brendan Banfield BDSM trial for the past two weeks. Triessl relies on her 3 decades of trial experience to talk about the prosecution’s case and what the defense needs to do to overcome the damning testimony of the au pair.
