But Banfield testified he and Magalhães did not plot to kill his wife and another man in the months that followed, despite what prosecutors suggest. Earlier in January, Magalhães testified that she and Banfield had created an account in Christine Banfield's name on a social media platform for people interested in sexual fetishes. Banfield testified that the au pair's omission to officials was a lie, saying "there was no plan." His testimony comes as John Carroll, Banfield's attorney, spent much of the trial scrutinizing Magalhães' motives in the case. A few weeks later, Brendan Banfield also purchased a gun, which was eventually used to shoot Ryan, Senior Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Eric Clingan said.
