Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/OvVQ01BPscE Day 9 of the Brendan Banfield trial delivers shocking testimony as the defendant, Brendan Banfield, takes the stand in his own defense. Banfield attempts to argue a "defense of others" or "heat of passion" defense, claiming he shot Joseph Ryan to protect his wife, Christine Banfield. However, his story quickly unravels under cross-examination. Banfield attempts to paint a picture of a loving marriage while simultaneously "flexing" about his numerous affairs, showing less emotion for his deceased wife than for his McDonald's app. Banfield delivers a disastrous last line in his direct examination, leaving the jury stunned. The defense rests, motions to dismiss are denied, and the case is heading to closing arguments. Watch now to hear every detail from this pivotal day in court!
