The prosecution painted a chilling picture of a premeditated scheme, while Banfield claimed self-defense — a story the jury rejected. His ex-lover, Juliana Peres Magalhães, already pleaded guilty and testified against him, now serving a ten-year sentence. The legal grounds for his appeal remain pending, but the drama is far from over. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
