Fairfax County Double Murder

Agree.

The victim smearing is really making my blood boil. BB has not only committed double murder but also is humiliating his poor wife in the process. Imagine how awful this must be for her family.

I wish him nothing but a slimy place to rot in prison. I hope he gets assaulted daily once he finally goes to jail.

If it goes to trial, the jury will have the benefit of observing the au pair and maybe even getting her testimony. Where the physical evidence is confusing or limited, I think her presence, manner and possibly testimony will help the jury tremendously on whether to convict or not.

ETA I hope she does testify, because then she’ll have to answer the prosecution’s questions on her insane behavior -

Why did you assume a car parked in the driveway = a home invasion?

Why did you take a child inside the house?

Why did you leave the child to walk toward the room with screaming and shouting, instead of calling 911 and leaving the house?

Why did you hang up on 911 when we can hear a man moaning in the background?

When did you decide to become Mommy 2.0?

And on and on and on.

For those who attended the preliminary hearing or bond hearing, what were your impressions re: how she comes across?

Her online complaints about CB or about BB paying too much attention to child and not enough to her and focusing on his treating her like a "princess" create one impression, but curious how she reads IRL?

Clearly BB thought that by smearing CB and JR in death, everyone would make him out a hero who rid the world of deviants. It must confuse him and Big Mama that so many, most importantly the authorities, see right through it all.

Hoping for justice for Christine and Joe. That poor child, spending formative years this way. He may think he's some good dad but he has destroyed her life too. Smdh.

I can't imagine anyone having the chutzpah to try to defend such a monster, perhaps they are paid astroturfers.

Is there any end to paid leave in such circumstances, any feds know? I mean, thankfully it isn't something that comes up often. There has to be more there, no one this cold and determined to misuse power and show how much smarter he is has not done so by midlife. Before IRS LE he was IRS, like Big Mama, yes? It was Christine's family that are LE? BB likely has other family members on the spath spectrum, there are genetic and environmental factors. He continues to act out his "rules and laws don't apply to ME" with all the speeding while being watched. He likes to walk the line, making spare cash driving and putting ability to drive at risk, over and over. VA still has weekend jail for traffic violations, don't they?

Pretty sure you aren’t allowed to have “outside gigs” when you are on paid leave…

I want to believe this, but when is the last time the chief or other Fairfax county spokes people have made a public comment? I don’t think it’s been in this calendar year has it?

Do you not understand how trials work? It’s not the defense’s job to provide a story. It’s their job to poke holes in the prosecution’s story. The defense doesn’t have to prove anything except the prosecution is wrong.

If BB had not fired his service weapon, am I correct in understanding he would not be on leave? He has not been charged, so that seems to have been the key factor. Since there was another gun in home, seems like a poorly considered element of plan, unless he did plan to be on extended paid leave? He was not put on leave prior to AP's arrest in October. Can anyone with fed experience explain this more? What if he is not arrested for years, will his paid leave just continue or is there any kind of end date?

Prosecutors laid out their theory of the case at the preliminary hearing (the point of a prelim) and the bond hearing last week. It has been consistent all along.

I think PP may be referring to online victim smearing.

The case has not yet been set for trial, so not sure what you are talking about.

Is it still paid though, is that just indefinite?

His repeated speeding indicates he may lose his license soon, so, that will also curtail driving gigs. You'd think he'd be more cautious but he seems like a seething type of guy. If he can't drive will be a bit likel house arrest. What an idiot and absolute tool he is.

No competent defense attorney is going to let her testify. The only way this happens is that the trial is going badly and she decides to implicate Banfield while on the stand.

Right, but what happens when he arrives, having planned to cut off a woman’s pajamas and cut her with a knife during a simulated rape, and she isn’t compliant because she has no clue who this stranger is with a knife in her house? Does he think her fighting him off initially is part of the act? Do things get out of hand? We know it got at least as far as her pajamas being cut.
