Summary
After nine hours of deliberating, the jury in the Brendan Banfield trial found Banfield guilty of all four charges, including two counts of aggravated murder for the deaths of his wife Christine and a stranger he lured to his home, Joe Ryan. Banfield looked stunned as the verdict was read aloud. The court quickly moved forward, scheduling his sentencing date for May, where the 40 year old former IRS agent will face life in prison without the possibility of parole.
