10 bucks says the au pair finally squealed and made a deal. I bet she does 12 months + time served and gets deported. Banfield will not enjoy life in prison as a former cop. That poor daughter. I hope there's a level-headed aunt who can take custody. Banfield's mom is cuckoo. |
What about the mother's family? Why should Banfield's mother get her? |
He's not even a cop. Just some kind of enforcement branch of the IRS. Glad to see him arrested. |
Press conference live right now!! |
Said new info instrumental in his arrest but cautions he cab't talk about specifics because they can't risk prejudicing a future jury.
"570 days later, we know the deaths are both in fact murders." |
Loosely here is what was said:
"We know that BB and JPM were in a romantic relationship at the time of the murders. I will not describe JRs relationship with anyone at the moment b/c the investigation continues. We have evidence that CB and JRs lives were taken unlawfully taken. To the Benson and Ryan families, thank you for your patience and trust." |
She flipped, good for her. |
So four counts of aggravated murder, which can involved premeditation and lying in wait. |
We don't know she flipped on him but hopefully so. |
To be fair, that question was asked at the press conference, and the police chief said they would not answer that as not to taint the case and prejudice a jury. |
Thank you, I was wondering how it could be 4 counts. So two for each person? |
Thank heavens! Have been waiting for this news! |
Are these the most severe charges that might have been brought? |
Finally.
That poor, poor little girl. She's had a tough road this far and even tougher ahead. |
