A chilling 911 call. A secret affair. And a murder trial now dominating headlines across America.

This week on The Trial: USA, we break down the latest developments in the murder case against Brendan Banfield, accused of killing his wife and staging an elaborate cover-up with the family’s former nanny — who testified in court this week for the first time.

Host Kayla Brantley is joined by Rachel Sharp, the Daily Mail’s chief crime correspondent, to unpack what the jury has heard so far, the prosecution’s theory, the defense’s strategy, and what could decide the outcome of this trial.

Also, this week - the Ohio dentist double murder dominating the headlines - and the shocking child abuse charges West Wing Actor Timothy Busfield is facing.
