Whether it's a true crime case or one of history's most unsettling stories, we understand that the devil is in the details. In each episode, we comb through the facts, scrutinize the suspects, and deliver the disturbing stories that keep you on the edge of your seat. If you enjoy evidence-driven storytelling with a dash of gallows humor to make the disturbing (somewhat) tolerable, we suspect this is the pod for you. But this is A Trial by Podcast, so we'll let you be the judge.© Askolta Media LLC Biografías y Memorias Crímenes Reales

    Ep. 108 | The Murders of Christine Banfield and Joseph Ryan [Part 2]
    Apr 14 2026
    Listen ad-free on PatreonOn the morning of February 24, 2023, police responded to 911 calls from the Banfield residence in Herndon, Fairfax County, Virginia, where they found Christine Banfield suffering from multiple stab wounds and Joseph Ryan dead from gunshot wounds inside an upstairs bedroom. Brendan Banfield — Christine's husband and a former IRS special agent — and the family's Brazilian au pair, Juliana Peres Magalhães, initially told police that Ryan had entered the house, attacked Christine with a knife, and was shot by both of them in self-defense, but investigators concluded this account was contradicted by physical and digital evidence.Prosecutors alleged that Brendan and Peres Magalhães were engaged in an extramarital affair and, rather than face divorce and a custody dispute, Brendan created a fake FetLife profile under Christine's name to lure Ryan — a complete stranger — to the home under false pretenses, intending to kill Christine and frame Ryan for her murder by staging it as a home invasion gone wrong. Peres Magalhães was arrested in October 2023, later pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in Ryan's death, and testified as the key prosecution witness against Brendan at trial, where she was ultimately sentenced to ten years in prison. In early 2026, a Fairfax County jury convicted Brendan Banfield of aggravated murder on all counts, with a mandatory life sentence to follow.*****Find all of A Trial by Podcast's links in our Linktree below:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here for all of our links!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find us on socials:Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠A Trial by Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@atrialbypodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@atrialbypodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Theme Music:https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/mr-mischiefLicense code: MOYK9CTUWGH7BLCSDISCLAIMERThis podcast (and all related media*) is intended for entertainment purposes only.

    Ep. 106 | The Sonderkommando Revolt
    Mar 31 2026
    Listen ad-free on PatreonOn October 7, 1944, inside the walls of Auschwitz-Birkenau, a group of prisoners condemned to help carry out mass murder decided they would no longer go quietly. Known as the Sonderkommando, these men were forced to work in the crematoria—handling the bodies of victims and witnessing the full horror of the Nazi killing machine. But when they realized they were next to be executed, they made a choice: to fight back. Smuggling in explosives and risking certain death, they launched a revolt that would destroy part of the camp and kill several SS guards before being brutally crushed. It was a rebellion born out of desperation, but it became one of the most powerful acts of resistance during The Holocaust—and a story that forces us to ask what resistance really looks like in the face of unimaginable evil.*****Find all of A Trial by Podcast's links in our Linktree below:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here for all of our links!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find us on socials:Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠A Trial by Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@atrialbypodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@atrialbypodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Theme Music:https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/mr-mischiefLicense code: MOYK9CTUWGH7BLCSDISCLAIMERThis podcast (and all related media*) is intended for informational and entertainment purposes only.
