My thought too! The letters were… off. In a lot of ways. |
Gross! How was he pulling so many women!? An odd that JM is laughing about all the cheating. “ I discovered even more betrayals on Brendan's part, haha, since the beginning of their relationship, several that he never mentioned, I was shocked, haha. They have a couple of friends, right, who always go on cruises together every year because the couple also has a boy the same age as <child name>, and a few years ago, the guy's wife (Christine's best friend) gave Brendan blowjobs several times (she herself told the investigator) lol. I don't know if Christine knew about it and was okay with them still being best friends, going on vacations together, etc. :'). And much more as the years went by. Screwed my "trust" even more, right, because if she traveled for work for 1 week, and he used to find someone to have sex with. I've been here for over 10 months, I can imagine him going crazy without sex lol.” |
| I’m curious why he dropped out of college after a year. What was going on with him then? Unfortunately he stayed long enough to meet CB. 🥺 |

Christine had a degree and was well paid as a NICU nurse. Even if no alimony his lifestyle would drop a lot if they split. No big house. No au pair. No cruises probably. Before he moved to this LE role for IRS he made either mid 50s or mid 60s, recall it being posted as public salary info back when this happened. He actually not only could not afford the assets they jointly could, he also needed her income, wonder if there was a large life insurance policy? Then post murder he moved his mom and grandmother in so maybe sharing assets there.
The letters with Tess were a far cry from Snitches get stitches Julianna. Maybe she wised up to their “bonds” being about keeping her silent? I still don’t get how you would think he wasn’t going to kill you next?! |
They definitely show her immaturity and failure to grasp the real world. |
| I have so many question for Christine!!!! |
That interaction apparently was closer to the plea… |
| PSA trial starting 30 minutes early at 9:30 this morning |
She was a PICU nurse. Very different from NICU. |
Yeah. I hope this does not sound elitist or nationalistic, but my guess is that she had very little quality education in Brazil and that coming to the US as an au pair was her big break. Living in a "fancy" house and landing a "rich" guy who could provide for her was her equivalent to winning the lottery. She was motivated to help him murder his wife because, from her perspective, it set her up for life. Now that it hasn't worked out, her attitude appears to be "oh well. I'll just go back to Brazil." She seems to have no understanding of the gravity of what occurred here. BB and Juliana obviously spoke of marriage - she referred to his mom as her "mother in law." She also wrote that if she and BB had a son, whoever he married would be the "luckiest girl." That's an odd way of thinking about an unborn child. |
| The mic can't pick up anything defense attorney says but every whisper the Prosecution says... this am whatever was discussed with the judge in private resulted in prosecutor whispering "now I feel like I have to".... |
Because being a serial cheater doesn’t make you a murderer and if the prosecution tried to argue that because BB was a serial cheater and that was somehow relevant, they’d be torn apart by the defense. “So he had casual sex with hundreds of women during his marriage. Yet you’re saying that he somehow suddenly had to murder his wife? Despite having all of the casual sex he wanted while she was alive?” See? It weakens their case by confusing things. The fact is that he killed her based on the evidence. They should stick to that. And possibly the theory that he wanted to play house with the au pair, which he couldn’t do when his wife was alive. He clearly could (and did!) have sex with all sorts of women while his wife was alive so that being a motive for killing her doesn’t hold water and a good defense attorney would be all over that. And it would muddy the waters . |
I think the defense was trying to show Brendan was upset, crying, “injured.” They want to show him as a grieving husband. I don’t personally think they accomplished much of anything either but I think that was the intent. |

What is the point of all this today? He keeps trying to get these officers to stumble but its not working. He's so caught up on email signatures, dates, email subjects, etc. You can tell the officers are getting frustrated
"Are you the type of officer who follows the evidence or follows a theory"? "Do you listen to a story without challenge?" Its so condescending. |
