With just minutes to go, Netflix and Alex Honnold made the decision to postpone his scheduled and heavily promoted ‘Skyscraper Live’ event Friday night.  So this evening, we will all be holding our collective breaths and watching as the 40 year old Free Solo climber takes on one of the tallest buildings in the world, without ropes, in front of the world.  While there will be a 10 second delay for the live broadcast, the stakes are high, one wrong move may mean the difference between life and death.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It wasn't the day the judge hoped for in the Brendan Banfield double murder trial.  In anticipation of the winter storm, the judge pushed attorney to wrap testimony by Friday (yesterday), but they didn't even get close.  However, the defense began scoring some major points, poking significant holes in the prosecution’s catfishing theory, central to their case.  But all eyes are on the defendant himself, Brendan Banfield, who is expected to take the stand next week as the final witness for the defense.  For the jury, it may ultimately come down to who they believe:  the au pair or Brendan Banfield.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What a helluva day in court! The defense attorney for accused double murderer Brendan Banfield scored major points today, calling two forensic digital experts with the Fairfax Police Department up to the stand who refuted the state’s catfishing theory. The two testified Brendan’s wife Christine had control of her devices, making it impossible for Brendan or the au pair to have created the online fetish profile that led to the murders. Later this afternoon, we are also expecting the biggest bombshell of this trial: Brendan Banfield will testify in his own defense.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
