Do we believe Christine had affairs too or is he dirtying up the victim like these murderers usually do? I hope the state will pushback on that if there's no evidence of her affairs.

He left the house early to get to work to set up .... but then loiters at McDonald's.

Sure.

He probably accused her of cheating. Like cheaters do.

I think he said she cheated because he hopes it'll neutralize his cheating.

I hope it doesn't.

I also think it's not true.

Why did BB warn JM not to go into the house?

What was his concern?

Welp.
It wasn't the plan..what else?

In the real world if this really happened BB the armed IRS employee would have known to call 911 immediately from McDonalds and would have been met by police when he arrived at his house 10 mins later.

BB's testimony.

Carroll forgot to ask him why he and Juliana got new phones a few days before the murders. And why he bought a second gun.

I think the direct by Carroll was a disaster and all it did was open Pandora's Box for the CW.

Good questions for the CW if they can get them in.

Juliana (au pair) is very close to her mother and relies on her for her love and support. Meanwhile , she helped to unalive Christine Banfield, Valerie's mother without an expression of saddness or a word of remorse!!! Juliana is ice cold!!! And no reaction or remorse for her shooting Joe Ryan in the chest the other innocent victim!!! She has zero emotion!!! No one can make you do anything!!! This is what Juliana believes Brandon made her shoot Joe Ryan!! IMO she enjoyed shooting Joe Ryan b/c she believes this will ensure her taking Christine's place as Brandan's new wife and Valerie's new mommy!!

The Court TV commentators are salivating over the upcoming cross. They can barely contain themselves.

Yeah, it was atypical for a call to CB to go to voicemail.

Same typicalness as her phone being in drawer downstairs.

Just saying.

And he testified that she *always* had her phone with her. Well, except for that fateful morning when it somehow got turned off and put in a downstairs drawer.

I thought he said today that she was in bed, blanket over her lap, she was on her laptop and her phone was next to her.

Edit: Just watched it back and he said the phone was next to her.

I resent his testimony/narrative. That he was somehow powerless to resist the nanny.

According to BB both he and CB had affairs and knew about each others.
That said there is a world of difference having an affair with your live-in much younger foreign nanny.
The guy couldn't even keep his toxic desires out of his home and away from his wife and daughter.

I don't know the legal strategy a seasoned defense lawyer would use with BB ( besides begging him not to take the stand) but I can't make heads or tails out of John Carrolls and how it was designed to supposedly help his defendant.

They don't make your food before you get there when you order with the app. 🤦‍♀️
Tell the CW

"geofencing technology" which went into effect in March 2023.

"The app notifies the restaurant when a mobile order customer is within three minutes of the location, so they can start preparing the food."

Defendant - I did not stop her advances. At some point I told her I was going to go upstairs...to go to bed. She said she was tired and was going to do the same......she took a step to the [bedroom] with me...we had a brief conversation and then she came with me into my bedroom.

Defense attorney - Did you ever talk to her about continuing the relationship that night or after?

Defendant - Not that night but in the next few days. She had indicated she was concerned I was going to tell Christine and that she would lose her job. Which I indicated I was not going to tell Christine.....I had indicated to her that I had previous affairs and that this was just an affair and that there would be no relationship.

Defense attorney - Was Christine aware of your previous affairs?

Defendant - She was aware of at least two.

Defense attorney - Were you aware of her affiars?

Defendant - I was aware that she had affairs. She would travel for work and during this time she would not be available to come home. We were separated a lot. We were both traveling quite a lot for work. I guess that was poor for our relationship at that point. We had gone to therapy for several months and we had decided we were going to continue our marriage.
BBM:

And?
After therapy you decided to continue your marriage with or without affairs?
