DNA Expert Tells Jury Both Victims' Blood Was on Husband's Coat in Au Pair Murder Trial

Her numbers were in the septillions. The state's DNA expert just told the jury that Christine Banfield and Joseph Ryan's blood was found mixed together on the sheet, the knife handle, and the bed frame. And then she dropped the real bombshell: Christine's DNA was on her husband Brendan's coat at 18 billion times statistical support. Dr. Susan Greenspoon has spent 24 years analyzing DNA for Virginia's Department of Forensic Science. She uses software that runs millions of probability tests to separate DNA mixtures. When she finished explaining what she found, the defense had no questions. Not one. Brendan Banfield is charged with four counts of aggravated murder. He maintains his innocence and claims he shot Joseph Ryan in self-defense after finding Ryan attacking his wife. The prosecution says he orchestrated the entire thing. ⏰ KEY MOMENTS 00:31 - Dr. Greenspoon takes the stand 04:12 - How probabilistic genotyping works 12:26 - Brendan and Christine's DNA on husband's coat 17:12 - Both victims' DNA on stain from coat 20:14 - Septillion-level statistics for blood on sheet 24:06 - Both victims' DNA on knife handle 27:23 - Defense has no questions 📖 From The Desk Of Justice: https://www.justiceisaprocess.com/des... 🎥 HOW WE COVER TRIALS Uninterrupted courtroom footage with live chat discussion.

Joseph Ryan was found shot dead beside her. Brendan Banfield and au pair Juliana Peres Magalhães initially claimed self-defense, saying they discovered Ryan attacking Christine and fired to stop him. That story held for 570 days. Police found no forced entry. They found communications on FetLife between Ryan and an account in Christine's name, planning a sexual encounter involving a knife for the morning she was killed. They found a framed photo of Brendan and the au pair on his nightstand eight months later. Magalhães was arrested in October 2023. She pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in October 2024. Under her deal, she gets time served if she testifies against Banfield, then deportation to Brazil. She's the State's star witness. Banfield was indicted in September 2024 after an investigation marked by internal conflict. The digital forensics examiner concluded Christine controlled her own accounts and was transferred out of the unit. The lead detective testified he was pressured to support the catfishing theory and was moved after the arrest. Christine Banfield was 37, a forensic nurse who spent her career helping sexual assault survivors. She left behind a four-year-old daughter who was in the house when her mother was killed. 📂 PLAYLISTS & RESOURCES 🌐 Website: https://justiceisaprocess.com ► Live Broadcasts:    • LIVE BROADCAST: VA v. Brendan Banfield   ► No Breaks Edition:    • NO BREAKS EDITION: VA v. Brendan Banfield   ► Trial Podcast:    • TRIAL PODCAST: VA v. Brendan Banfield   ► Key Moments:    • Key Moments and Testimony: VA v. Brendan B...   ► Subscribe:    / @justiceisaprocess   ⚖️ ABOUT JUSTICE IS A PROCESS This channel continues the work of Steven M.
