Juliana Peres Magalhães, the Brazilian au pair, pleaded guilty to manslaughter in a double-murder scheme intended to frame another man for the killing of Christine Banfield.
Prosecutors revealed that forensic evidence indicated Brendan Banfield had smeared his wife Christine's blood onto Joe Ryan, whom they attempted to frame for the murder.
Despite the pleas and claims of innocence by Brendan Banfield, court evidence suggested a calculated plot involving Magalhães to shift blame onto an innocent party.
Detectives were initially skeptical about the narrative presented by Magalhães and Brendan Banfield, which postured as a violent encounter gone wrong.
