Brendan Banfield Says His Wife Was Stabbed By Intruder On Stand

Brendan Banfield took the stand and claimed his wife was stabbed to death by an intruder, not him. He claimed he came home to find the stranger raping his wife, Christine. Prosecutors say Banfield lured a stranger to his home for a sexual encounter with his wife. Prosecutors say Banfield shot Joseph Ryan and stabbed his wife to death, making it appear she had been attacked by a stranger. Banfield was having an affair with the family's nanny, Juliana, who testified her role in the elaborate plot.
