Fairfax County Double Murder

Assume there will be media coverage. No one can know what happened unless they were present or have a source. Should know more soon. WP covered last motion hearing.

Does not appear that she was released so that would be 6 months in custody by April. She's probably have a few more bond hearings in the meantime. The idea that she would quickly and easily flip seems to have been wishful thinking.

No trial date has been set so not related to a trial continuance.

Wonder if BB is drawing a paycheck. Her lawyer is not cheap and he likely has one as good or better.

How do you know he's not cheap?

Is BB paying for a lawyer for the Aupair? Or is she getting a public defender?

Someone is paying for this private lawyer.

This was discussed up thread. In an interview her mom said the family was not paying and that Brazil had not offered any help. Since she has a private attorney, not a public defender, it seems overwhelmingly likely that Banfield is paying. Of course, her case going well also benefits his legal interests. Her lawyer has been mentioned in the press and is listed on the VA docket page, Ryan Campbell. He appears to be an experienced and well regarded criminal defense attorney.

The WP covered the last motions hearing just before Christmas. Hasn't their metro section shrunk tremendously since then? I believe that article was not same day, but a few days after.

The preliminary hearing would have gotten covered for sure. Oh well, anyone local up for a field trip to the Fairfax County courthouse? Or have jury duty coming up (could take a quick look at motion on a break)?

I thought it was interesting how There was no coverage either. Even some accounts on Twitter have been covering this and I have seen nothing even 24 hours later. Thinking, maybe the weird weather/delays yesterday may have prevented some folks from going to the motion, and they probably had planned to go to the hearing, which was obviously delayed. But hopefully some reporter will get over there and report out on this. I’ve been stalking websleuths, Reddit, Twitter, etc. lol.

The only outlet that covered the Dec. motions hearing was WP. Not sure if that reporter is still there? Took a few days, I think. We may have to wait until April...

Does anybody know if there is a way to have access to all the evidences? Eg. the messages, photos, etc?
Just curious if those things ever get released.

Not before the trial!

I already called the tipline about this, so LE can do what they will with that information.

I know a lot about his past affair, and whatever he had with the au pair is nothing surprising at all.

Anything else you’re willing to share with the rest of us? Did this take place in VA or NY?

It was in NY, about a year long from 2012 to 2013ish.

Christine was aware of this affair, found out about it and then it ended a few months after. BB was very manipulative of both parties during that time. The affair partner was a woman who was closer to his age than the au pair. They were about 3 years apart.

That is not far from the time of their marriage. Shame she did not leave him then. Everyone knows you can't trust a cheater. Although few take things this far.

To the person who claims knowledge of a prior affair with Brendan and another woman .... I'm an investigative reporter covering this case. Are you available to chat off the record?

There's a "friend" who was posting a few weeks ago who claims they both had others on the side throughout the marriage.

The friend is correct.
