Au Pair Affair Trial Day 2: Jail Letters & Netflix Deal Rock Magalhães Testimony

Day 2 of the Brendan Banfield trial focused entirely on cross-examination of star witness Juliana Peres Magalhães. Defense attorney John Carroll attacked her credibility using jail letters in which she promised to protect Banfield and "take the blame for both of us."

Magalhães admitted she's been in contact with Netflix and other producers about selling her story, and that media companies are now paying her jail expenses. When asked about a letter to her mother saying "we deserve something," she testified she believes her family deserves compensation.

The prosecution says blood evidence will prove Banfield's guilt regardless of credibility questions. The defense says she's a liar who flipped to save herself. Banfield has pleaded not guilty.
