VA - Joseph Ryan shot, Christine Banfield stabbed, both deceased, in home - Herndon 24 Feb 2023

And when the judge tried to gently correct him he doubled down. Finally the defendant said "born" and got annoyed and asked him to re-ask his question and he corrected himself. Has he had a stroke recently? I can't think of what's wrong with him. And the prosecutor's house must've burned down and she's had to borrow clothes for this trial.

Arrogance?
Narcissism?
A bit of both?
He does come across as having no emotional response when called out.
imo

 

[Megnut]

Zero insight if he thinks this makes him look like a fabulous dad.

It's part of the job title.

Where is his insight into his daughter's emotional needs? Where's his insight into her wants, needs and interests?

 

[Megnut]

BB is describing how much Christine and Valerie loved each other. "Their separation was tragic."

Puke

 

[Izzylizzy]

He'll run the clock today.

 

[Megnut]

Did you love your wife? Did you want your marriage to continue? Did your love Valerie?

"Very much."

Why isn't he asking BB if he also lived JM?

JMangryO

 

[Megnut]

Enter in happy family photos.

 

[Megnut]

What is the relevance of photos from 10 years ago?????

 

[Weki]

I hope this means state will be allowed to bring in any evidence of his extra-marital affairs (prior to the au pair).

 

[Izzylizzy]

Connell will try and leave the jurors with 1.5 hrs of what a loving couple they were and BB being the most devoted and hands-on father.
Like this will negate what is coming at BB.
imo

I hope this means state will be allowed to bring in any evidence of his extra-marital affairs (prior to the au pair).

Are there photos?

What is the relevance of photos from 10 years ago?????

The picture is from the Mud Run that both Christine and Brendan did in 2015.
When Christine's father was on the stand discussing Christine's blood disorder and how she had to be careful the defense tried to say since she was in a Mud Run she was not careful.
This is their way of getting the picture into evidence.

 

[Izzylizzy]

What is the relevance of photos from 10 years ago?????

That they were a loving and very happy couple.
That is until that evil Brazilian au-pair entered the scene and murdered the love of his life .
imo

 

[Weki]

Defense atty, after putting up yet another photo - Sir, can you see this? What is the significance of this photo in terms of your family?

Whaaaaa?

Sir, we need to find out the significance of why his wife is dead right now? That is all we need to know.

Judge put a stop to the endless photos after state objected on relevance/cumulative grounds.

Carroll asked BB if he did science and engineering with his daughter .
This is supposed to show the jury what?

So far all this is before the au-pair arrived on the scene.
imo

She was 3! Bit early for stem!

Did the blood issue make a landing with the jurors?
I got confused during that testimony and thought it may have been some evidence for the defense why BB didn't do something to try and save Christine?
CB's father was so restricted on what he could say about it.

 

[Megnut]

Are you kidding me?

Father of the year just said a photo was from when Valerie was still zero.

Zero?????

No one says that!

Zero is not an age.

One month old, two months old, NOT ZERO.

JMO

 

[Megnut]

I hope the State brings in the bathtub photo.

Defense opened the bathroom door.

JMO

 

[Izzylizzy]

I'm surprised Carroll entered JM the way he did.
So clumsy with no lead up to her arrival.

imo

 

[Weki]

Ohhhhh I see where this is going. He's going to say Juliana seduced him and arranged for the murder so she could have him. Right?

 

[Megnut]

BB trying to say the au pair was only there when he wasn't.
