US EditionAu pair sentenced to 10 years in prison in Brendan Banfield double murder case
Juliana Peres Magalhães received the maximum 10-year sentence for her role in a double murder plot involving her employer, convicted IRS agent Brendan Banfield, despite prosecutors recommending time served.
- On Friday, Juliana Peres Magalhaes, the 25-year-old Brazilian au pair, was sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty and testifying against Brendan Banfield.
- Prosecutors say Magalhaes and Banfield began a relationship and plotted to kill Banfield's wife, framing a stranger in the lure and frame scheme.
- They created a fake profile on FetLife to lure Ryan to the house, where Magalhaes testified she shot him after Banfield stabbed Christine, with their child taken to the basement.
- After hearing victim impact statements Friday, Azcarate rejected the plea deal and sentenced Magalhaes to 10 years, saying, 'Your actions were deliberate, self-serving, and demonstrated a profound disregard for human life,' Azcarate said.
- Banfield was convicted earlier this month of aggravated murder and faces a mandatory life sentence with no chance of parole at his May 8 sentencing, while Magalhaes will receive credit for two years and five months served and may serve about four more years, Campbell said.
