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

[Megnut]

He's claiming that he didn't know JM made the first call, that she made the call from the basement. How convenient.

 

[Megnut]

What?

CW has nothing further.

Lunch.

 

[Megnut]

I'm disappointed with cross.

Why didn't she bring in photos from before Christine was murdered?

Why didn't she spend more time on his story?

 

[Starlight0229]

I should have asked first. Are those  his parents? I thought they were CB's. They look utterly distraught.

The media order for this trial does not allow her family to be shown. See paragraph 6e here https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/circu...dan-Banfield-Order-Re-Courtroom-and-Media.pdf

 

[Megnut]

IMO BB didn't shoot JR a second time because he (BB) had blood on his hands.

I bet it didn't go down at all how he/they planned.

Real people are unpredictable.

IMO he didn't account for either of them still being alive. Which created major issues for The Plan.

Did the FBI ever investigate him separately and independently for illegal discharge of a State firearm?

 

[LifeIsAMystery]

Did the new witness testify yet?

Narcissism, full on display.

Did the new witness testify yet?

No, the prosecution said he will be in her rebuttal case. The defense will redirect after lunch.

Thanks. Per Google, new witness works for IRS. Very curious what he came forward about yesterday. Jmooo.

 

[Megnut]

I hope the State takes advantage of re-cross.

I suspect they are strategizing being brief.

Knock down BB's nonsense and move on.

Trusting the jury.

I'm trusting the jury. The defense is unbelievable, the defendant it unlikeable. Any person thinking through the logistics will find the script stupid.

 

[Megnut]

I hope the CW impeaches him on re-cross.

 

[Megnut]

Oh boy. Two jurors overheard a witness ask if it was too late to testify.

Defense will jump all over this.

 

[Megnut]

Defense asked for a sidebar. After the sidebar, the jury was brought in.

Maybe the judge will poll the jurors?

Nope.

Redirect commences.

 

[Megnut]

Defense: at what point did you feel 911 was necessary?

He days he couldn't call 911 because his hands were on his firearm.

Then he was "rendering aid" to CB.

Right.

 

[BUF]

This “federal agent” (as he describes himself) doesn’t appear too confident now.

Feeling busted?

 

[Megnut]

BB claims CB was in a bondage affair in NY. Claims she had bruises.

I don't doubt she had bruises. HDV is a thing.

[Megnut]

BB can say whatever he ways about CB because she's too dead to speak for herself.
