Brendan Banfield was convicted of murdering his wife and a third party he lured to the residence, Joseph Ryan on February 2 2026. His Co-Defendant, and the family's au pair, testified against him under a plea deal from the state and was sentenced to 10 years. He is facing life in prison. I am interested to see what Judge A has to say during this sentencing and if Banfield has anything else to say.... because boy was his trial testimony something.
