So far, the entire murder case against Brendan Banfield hinges on one person: the former au pair, Juliana Magalhães. She is the only witness who says there was an affair, a secret account, and a plan that ended in two deaths.

But she also admits she lied to police for more than a year and accepted a plea deal.

In this video, we break down the strongest arguments from both sides:
• Why the defense says Juliana cannot be trusted
• Why prosecutors say her story is credible
• What this means for the jury

This case may come down to one question: Do you believe her?
