Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/JJSQ_gojOt8 Day 2 of the Brendan Banfield trial brought the critical testimony and cross-examination of co-defendant Juliana Peres Magalhães (the au pair) to a close. We break down the specifics of Juliana's plea agreement, including the reduced charge to voluntary manslaughter (max 10 years) and the prosecution's recommendation of "time served" contingent on her continued cooperation. The judge, however, has the final say. The defense revealed that Brendan Banfield's mother paid for Juliana's attorney until she signed the plea deal—a key detail suggesting pressure and raising questions of ethical conflict.
