Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/ZmqBhDcTt18 Day 5 of the Brendan Banfield Trial begins with the defense case in chief finally kicks off, but it's a clunky start! Their presentation struggles, highlighted by the dramatic body cam footage of the defendant's emotional reaction to being told his wife had died. Plus, witness testimony becomes a trainwreck when the defense fails to properly admit their digital forensic expert's foundational report into evidence—leading to a chaotic recess. Detective Miller is recalled to the stand and clarifies his digital forensics summary. While his original report suggested the victim was using her devices, he now acknowledges that new context (the codefendant's admission) means he "can't say" it was Christine Banfield herself behind the screen.
