Now, just before sentencing, Brendan is trying to get the convictions overturned. His defense team claims prosecutors made multiple errors during trial, including questions surrounding Brendan’s silence during the investigation and testimony from key witnesses. This episode breaks down the latest courtroom update, the arguments being made by both sides, and why Brendan Banfield’s sentencing has now been postponed.
