About this episode

Brendan Banfield and au pair Juliana Magalhães carry on an affair for months. Banfield begins creating the murder plan after telling Magalhães he wants to get rid of his wife and divorce is not an option. He doesn't want to spend the money, nor does he want to share custody of their 4-year-old daughter. The jury has heard the murder plan Banfield came up with...a home invasion that involves giving Magalhaes a gun and instructing her to call Christine's phone when Joseph Ryan enters the home. Magalhaes is then supposed to call Banfield as he waits at a McDonald's near the home. Peres Magalhaes says Banfield changes his regular routine leading up to the murders so it would not seem out of routine for him to be at the McDonald's at that time of the morning. Ryan is shot by Magalhães, then Christine is stabbed to death by her husband. Magalhães confesses to police. Now a jury weighs in.
