Crime scene photos were presented in court Thursday during former ballerina Ashley Benefield’s pre-evidentiary hearing. The photos show a bloody bedroom and multiple shell casings marked with evidence markers. The defense also presented photos showing Ashley with a swollen eye and cheek. Ashley has been charged with second-degree murder in her husband’s death. She claims she shot Doug Benefield in self-defense.

And, and, and, and, and……
Tv
I wish I were a court reporter. Could you imagine all the insanity you would be exposed too? 😩 Just horrific.
Jodi Arias.
I believe Ashley is a Domestic Violence victim. This case was so triggering and difficult for me. I am a survivor of Domestic Violence and from where I stand, it's a woman thing. I cannot tell you the amount of times I called the police on my ex. Never once did the police do anything to help me. Actually, the police never believed me. When he put me in the hospital, and I had to have 3 reconstructive surgeries to repair the damage he did to me… Do you want to know what the police did? They took him to the mental ward of the hospital because he was an Army vet and 'probably had PTSD issues that triggered him to attack me.' I wasn't even allowed to press charges against him.
There is no equality in this country. Men still own us, they still own our children. They are still given custody rights even if they are abusers. Courts place men's /father's rights over the rights of the abused, their ex's and children. They are allowed to do anything they wish to us, and we are only heard and believed once they end our lives…
This verdict was a kick in the face for DV victims. I am appalled at the amount of Domestic Violence victims that have been nasty about Ashley and dismissed her abuse as untrue and unbelievable.
3 loaded pistols in a house with a 2 year old!!
He wanted her posse, she wanted his purse.
Moving is stressful. If someone has a bad temper, it is highly likely to trigger it. If they were so rich, why were they doing it themselves…. Financial issues too perhaps…
JODI ARIAS! NOTHING BUT LIES!!
I'm still suspicious of his wife's death. The one they found face down in their bed. That is very concerning to me.
7:37 gets notice shows up at 8:28.
8:28pm she shows up. Shooting at 5:00 ish. So, photos taken 3.5 plus hours after the incident.
Omg you totally edited her face for the pic on this video to make her look battered and bruised WHICH SHE WAS NOT. Shame on you Law & Crime Network
She should have aimed lower judging by the level of comments here.
I think she is a victim of DV and as always the victim is the one vilified. I watched it on big screen and could see the tears.
All men over 50 are swayed by pretty faces cause all men well not all but most think with only one thing.
Why was she just wildly shooting?? If she was so scared?? 😳 not buying her BS!
This sounds like a case of an overbearing mother who used her child just as much as she used her husband. I do not believe this was self defense and I also believe it was premeditated. She did not want this child near the. Father and did everything in her power to make sure they would not have a relationship to the point of murder. I hope the jury sees through this….
Always suspicious when someone cries and cries but the face is dry
Gold digger…..
For more background about Ashley and Doug, I suggest you read the Vanity Fair (VF) article. A VT reporter was getting to know them before Doug was murdered. Ashley and Doug were both running after money their entire lives, and both were gun lovers looking for a 'made in heaven' relationship that didn't exist. The two victims are Doug's daughter Eva and Doug and Ashley's young daughter.
She had planted them Guns though the house,Because she knew She was going to shoot him that day!!
And um…and um…
Sounds like:Laily's friend(n if anything)etc.Another strange case,looks like her mom knows
It wouldn't surprise me if Ashley inflicted these injuries on herself. I just cannot trust her story
She's going to prison for a long time.
He does not look 30 years older than her. JS.
Amber Heard vibes partnered with highly compatible decades-older-guy like a father or grandfa age, e.g. Johnny Deep, both taking advantage with each other. Nevertheless, DV & uxoricide or mariticide is not a justification for $.
Did she use makeup 😅or did her so called affair helped her out , She is a manipulative B , this poor man was so blind by love, she had One focus he was her target and motivation Money taking everything, i dont even think the kid was his tbh
She is 100% guilty. She is 30 YEARS younger. C'mon, 30 years!?!
Ashley LOST , (was ***DENIED*** by Florida Judge Whyte) in court regarding her Stand Your Ground motion to dismiss the case. 😅
How many came here because of recent news that the judge denies former Florida ballerina's stand your ground claim in husband's fatal shooting?
She’s guilty….
Ashley Benefield must think she's Billy the Kid
Thing is she didn’t have to keep shooting!? There was multiple gun wounds!? Correct!? And beings she was so far away from him tells me something isn’t right here!!
She committed first degree murder. She plotted and planned this.
It’s sad how this man allowed himself to be swayed into relationship by a pretty face
I though she was Leticia stauch they look the same
She turns my stomach… people need to get it straight women are abusers also..She sbuses then gaslights the system… Come on brat ballerina I don't believe you… Don't forget Lori Daybell 😡
If you marry a young woman 30 year difference don't be shocked if she tries to put you under
Okay seriously though, don't get married to young girls after you've just met them, genius.
17:40 What was that photo? Were those photos during the arrest?
