FBI Expert Robin Dreeke on Juliana Magalhães — Evaluating the Star Witness in the Banfield Murder Trial

FBI Expert Robin Dreeke on Juliana Magalhães — Evaluating the Star Witness in the Banfield Murder Trial

Juliana Peres Magalhães admitted on the stand that she pulled the trigger on Joseph Ryan. She testified that she watched Brendan Banfield stab his wife Christine to death. And she's the only living witness to what happened in that bedroom.

But the defense showed the jury jail letters where Magalhães promised to never cooperate, said she would "take the blame" for Banfield, and declared she would "give my life for his." She only flipped after she was hospitalized, after Banfield's family stopped paying her lawyer, and after she started negotiating with Netflix.

Former FBI special agent Robin Dreeke — who led the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — joins True Crime Today to evaluate the au pair's credibility. What red flags does he see? How does a behavioral expert assess a witness who lied for a year? And does the Netflix deal change everything — or is it just noise?

Banfield has pleaded not guilty. The trial continues in Fairfax County.
