@meghanncuniff That’s the Johnny Depp judge!

A judge in Fairfax, Virginia, today sentenced a former Internal Revenue Service criminal investigator life in prison without parole for murdering his wife and a man lured to the home through a sex fetish website. Brendan Banfield was having an affair with au pair Juliana Pere Magalhãess when they plotted to kill Banfield’s wife, Christine Banfield. They posed as her on an online sex fetish website and persuaded a man later identified as Joseph Ryan to go to the couple’s home and sexually assault her. Banfield was home when Ryan attacked his wife on Feb. 24, 2023, and he told investigators he killed Ryan in self defense. Investigators, however, determined Banfield killed both, and jurors agreed when they convicted him of all charges on Feb. 2. Magalhães pleaded guilty to manslaughter and testified against Banfield. Judge Penney Azcarate in Fairfax County Circuit Court sentenced her to 10 years in prison on Feb. 13. The judge told Magalhães, “May it weigh heavily on your soul," and she had a similar message for Banfield today (Friday, June 5). Azcarate told Banfield the “vast majority” of people she’s sentenced in her 18 years on the bench “were not inherently bad people, but they made terrible decisions and suffered the consequences.” She’s seen something different twice before: “Two individuals that carried no remorse, calculated and planned their violent crimes and left many victims and devastation in their path.” “As I listen to the evidence in this case, and listen to your testimony, it is apparent that I am once again looking at that same kind of evil,” Azcarate said. In addition to murder, jurors in February convicted Banfield of child endangerment because the couple’s daughter was home during the killings. Azcarate sentenced Banfield to an additional five years on that charge and three more years for using a firearm in the commission of a felony. Banfield is from Long Island, New York, and met his wife when he was 18 and they were students at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut If you recognize Azcarate, it's probably because she presided over the 2022 trial in the defamation lawsuit brought by actor Johnny Depp against his ex-wife Amber Heard.

@fleccas Well a lot of white people can swim and have pools, sooooooo

HOT TAKE: This woman says white people can't play with Super Soakers this summer because they were invented by a black man. We took this idea and extrapolated...

@the_jefferymead The racial insults don’t bother us, it makes me laugh honestly. It’s kind of like when a child is having a tantrum and will say whatever to provoke a reaction. It’s just hard to take seriously

This is part of the problem. People like this simply drive more racial division.. And yes he can be racist. Racism does NOT require a power structure. This behavior should be called out just like it would be if it was the other way around.

@WDYFW_PodClips Mark Lamont Hill doesn’t look like he’s all there

Piers Morgan — Michael Knowles Forces Mark Lamont Hill to Admit the "If Roles Were Reversed" Trap Michael Knowles: "If the bleeding kid in handcuffs was black and the killer was white, you seriously believe police would have acted the same?" Mark Lamont Hill: "Yes. I don't believe the police operate any differently." Full Episode: youtube.com/watch?v=gVO_so…

@patriotsofli @jdmiles11 You’re missing a HUGE part in between scuffle and manslaughter.

@jdmiles11 Take skin color out of equation, then its 2 boys having a scuffle till one boy brings out a knife. That takes it to a new level. Not murder but certainly manslaughter.

Tensions are running high outside the Collin County Courthouse right now. This is currently happening outside the Karmelo Anthony murder trial

@VenenoVamp @patriotsofli @jdmiles11 No 2:1

@patriotsofli @jdmiles11 A 2 on 1 on the stairs is serious, then Austin being a star linebacker changes it too

@dukewong @PBDsPodcast @mehdirhasan George Floyd died of a drug overdose, Henry Nowak’s may have been facilitated by the police. His lungs were filling with blood and they laid him flat on his stomach.

@PBDsPodcast @mehdirhasan Let me get this straight: George Floyd was killed by police. Henry Nowak died after being stabbed. If you can’t tell the difference, maybe you shouldn’t have a podcast.

@Holiistically Etymology matters too. The word Asian did not come from Colonialism.

Terminology matters. Word choice matters. Ethnicities matter. Especially when we are talking about Boycotts.

Please learn the difference between Chinese, Hmong, Japanese, Lao, Thai, Vietnamese,and “Indian” Please understand that the term “Asian “ is an umbrella term created by colonialism Rick Chow is Chinese, instead of saying “Asian” say Chinese.

@Gutfeldfox I hate that Conan went Hollywood. I knew he was liberal, but he was always neutral. Also, he looks terrible, like a 1930’s actor in overdone make-up and in technicolor.

Conan’s Commencement Fiction

@ReneeGiraldy @Gutfeldfox @Harvard He is alumni

@Gutfeldfox Why would @Harvard ask him ? You can’t say that there is nobody else ? How about some alumni and no politics

@SteveHiltonx What about Spencer Pratt??? They are cheating in LA

Election Shambles Update: 1. California Democrats have turned our state into a global laughing stock. India counts 600 million + ballots in a day. California counts less than 10 million in a MONTH. 2. Make sure YOUR vote is counted. Watch this video for the steps you should take. 3. We're watching everything closely and have lawyers standing by if needed. 4. We're as confident as ever that we will make the top two. 5. As governor I will replace this absurd system. We cannot have another election that makes us look like a "failed state", as @NateSilver538 put it. Link to check that your vote is counted: california.ballottrax.net/voter/ Link to report any incidents: ptv.report/sXtyY Thank You - stay focused - Change is Coming!

@melaninglamour I think a White girl (or guy) turned him down or something. He is heavily emotionally invested in Europeans. He should take of his costume, go outside and attempt to make some non-white friends.

"Crackativities" 💀

@KJOURNEY820306 I had to look this up, not true. You need permission from the state and manufacturers because some of the products are for professionals.

@FuhgedNews So vulgar and overly emotional

See? This right here is why the Chinese made the Natasha doll.

@Heal_within96 The White kids have rifles and judging by their outfits, they are using them to hunt. The black kid has a handgun, not sure what he is doing in the pic. Long guns are generally safer than handguns

White children can post with their guns, but it doesn't make them guilty. God forbid a Black child does it, he is guilty and a criminal from the get go.

@ChrisCadence_ Hey genius, jurors have to be agreed on by BOTH sides, the defense and the prosecution. So his attorneys (whose job it is to vigorously defend their client) APPROVED the all white jury. You can find everything they teach in law school online….look into it.

Karmelo Anthony Trail Begins With No Black Jurors

@Kittenwaffin What did they do at Target? Target has not gone out of business.

"Stop stereotyping us!", they cry, and in the same breath will boldly proclaim: "We won't shop any Asian business because of this one single incident! These people have never been our allies!"

@CaReparations What always gets me is the phone they use is made in Asia, designed by White or Asian people. Platforms are developed and/or owned by Asian and White people. I won’t even get into the other things they use and enjoy everyday that would not exist if not for White or Asians.

Proud of sister Brandi for removing cash flow from these parasitic entities something we need to all be doing! Buying from black owned merchants

@BigPopz72 This is untrue, she seems intelligent, I think she knows it’s untrue.

This black woman claims that white people were eating black people from the days of Columbus to the days of slavery. White people are cannibals.. Christopher Columbus was a cannibal. Slave owners were cannibals. I just loves me some history.. You feelz me? 🫵😎

@h_naturally When you said “we” about to see what black women are giving Asians business, you me YOU. Alone. Pretending to be brave by half opening a door and saying “making sure none of our people giving you business”. You really showed them.
