Brendan Banfield's Testimony: "He Was Stabbing Her — I Wish I Shot Him Earlier"

Brendan Banfield's Testimony: "He Was Stabbing Her — I Wish I Shot Him Earlier"

Brendan Banfield finished testifying in his own defense today — and the jury now has his complete version of what happened inside that bedroom. According to Banfield, he walked in on Joseph Ryan holding his naked wife Christine on the floor with a knife. He announced himself as police. He told Ryan he was under arrest. And when Ryan allegedly made "a very forceful stab" toward Christine, he fired. One shot. Head. Then he says he held his dying wife as she told him she was "bleeding out" and that she loved him.

The prosecution's cross-examination challenged every part of that account. Christine was stabbed seven times — Banfield says he only saw one. How? "The knife is inside of her hair. I can't tell the movement." Prosecutor Jenna Sands also forced Banfield to admit he'd used a fetish-style site for a previous affair, and introduced fourteen pages of love letters to au pair Juliana Peres Magalhães. Baby names. Declarations of love. Banfield confirmed he was "definitely in love with her."

Then came the rebuttal: Banfield's own IRS supervisor testified the "important meeting" Banfield claimed he left home for that morning never existed. Both sides have rested. Closing arguments begin Friday at 10 AM. Brendan Banfield faces life in prison.
