A Virginia jury on Monday convicted Brendan Banfield of aggravated murder for the killings of his wife and another man nearly three years ago.
Prosecutors argued Banfield plotted for months with the family’s au pair – with whom he was having an extramarital affair – to murder his wife, Christine Banfield, and frame the other man, Joseph Ryan, for her death.
Brendan Banfield is expected to be sentenced to life in prison, the mandatory penalty for the highest murder charge in Virginia.
