The Virginia trial of Brendan Banfield, a former IRS special agent, centers on an alleged murder plot that can only be described as calculated and twisted.

Banfield is charged with aggravated murder in the February 23 killings of his wife, Christine Banfield, and Joseph Ryan inside their Herndon, Virginia home.

Prosecutors alleged Banfield orchestrated the killings to conceal an affair with the family's Brazilian opair, Juliana Magalise.

They say Banfield impersonated his wife on a fetish website,
