Trial delayed until January. Fairfax County prosecutor taken off au pair double murder case after drinking incident

It is a very sad case (both Banfield and Peres Magalhaes appear horrible people. My personal opinion and I understand the need to strike a deal with Peres Magalhaes, and stick to the deal).

However, “sorry, folks, Fairfax County Prosecutor fell off the wagon and trials are delayed now” sounds almost comic.

Wishing the prosecutor to make his January a dry month!

And may Christine Banfield and Joseph Ryan get full justice! It is a very mean case.
