During the pre-evidentiary hearing for Ashley Benefield’s self-defense claim, the state played audio from a previous 2018 custody hearing between Ashley and her then husband Doug Benefield. In the audio, the judge slammed Ashley’s claims that Doug poisoned her and she was a battered wife, stating “there isn’t a scintilla of truth” to her claims. The judge ended up denying her request for an injunction against Doug — allowing him to see their daughter, who was a newborn at the time. Ashley Benefield was arrested two years after that hearing for second-degree murder — accused of killing Doug. Ashley and her defense team claim the deadly shooting was out of self-defense because Doug had attacked her.

Both the half sisters lost their shared father and mothers. Let that sink in. Very cruel❤
She murdered her husband she was never abused 😢😢 what a shame for his daughters
This lady was a liar
This attorney should be reported to the FL bar for openly lying in court, she was clearly biased. I hope Ashley gets new trial and the misogny promoters-the police, this attorney and the prosecutors are counseled on how they showed unfair bias and ignorance about DV. Also look Karens, no one cares about your single experience of DV, you don't speak for all of us and many of us could clearly see Doug's abuse and how the deeply entrenched sexism in FL served him well.
Oh! Doug’s lawyer, the one that “misrepresented facts” 🤥 about the reports coming out in the hearing scheduled September 30th. Confirmed that it was not true by a lawyer, therapist and court clerk. The email stated the purpose stated clearly that it was not going to be discussed.🤔
Be interesting to have a DNA test for the baby. I don't think its his.
She destroyed her. I love this judge. She was the manipulator who wanted his money and the fact she researched him before meeting she knew what she was doing. And she was a fetus compared to him and acted like one
The judicial language is inappropriate
When was this a year ago?! Wow
She has turned out to be a liar she was not a victim of DV
Listening to this i absolutely feel the Jury made the correct decision !
A JUDGE MAKES A DECISION NOT BASED ON ANYTHING BUT HER BIASED OPINION?
Shocking!! Not At All.
She’s going by Their Huge Age Difference TO HER MEANS LADY HAS Bad PlANS.
Sorry, BUT HIM SHOOTING A GIN INSIDE OF THEIR FRGGN HOME IS VIOLENT!!
I’m so disgusted I can’t even watch anymore. A bunch of asshls!!
ASHLY YOU ARE A LIAR .
every time i hear a crooked lawyer or judge speak… they sound like this judge does. that snide tone that neerer neerer twisted twang in their voice, makes me sick. i cant stand this judge
She sounds like she is mentally ill
Im watching this in July 2024 her trial has started. Anyone who supports Ashley needs to watch this video. This is coming from the judge.
Judge states the turning on of tears, Ashley are you listening to that recording? You little liar
The ballet dancer sounds like an Amber Heard type. Going after the money, honey, she could have got off her butt and earned her own money to start a ballet company, but the Amber types find it easier to marry it. Parasites.
Lies upon lies about the victim shot from behind
Bottom line the state has not proven their case. There is definitely reasonable doubt
Would this woman know what happened behind closed doors . No she has no idea ,
She's a liar….. liars drive ya 🤪
Didn't she admit he never once hurt her during cross examination?
And this is exactly why I don't believe a word she says!!
“There was no evidence of domestic violence “
“There was one time he shot into the ceiling, not her, so that does not count”.
“But ya. No evidence of husbands violence”.
She needs to book herself into a psychiatric hospital.
The judge has spoken. This lady has phycological issues. She is guilty of murder.
She is a SOCIOPATH!! Anyone who can’t see that has MAJOR ISSUES!!
She's pure evil a liar and gold digger
Remote domestic violence? That’s a disgusting thing for the judge to say. He shot at the ceiling? TF? That’s crazy!
She is a jezabel and needs to be locked up for life!
I wish this judge could've testified in the actual trial.
I believe Eva
That purse is giving some damning evidence. 👜🤬
What a waste of a body.. Now becoming a lez for life. 🙄
I've never seen such a PRETTY handbag in a court room before
I remember this case and 30 mins in i knew this woman was a psychopath
She has to show off her bag😂
Hair strand analysis could indicate prior poisoning
That women wants the world to see her Pretty handbag doesn't she
I see Ashley trying not to laugh to her lawyer in one of the vids ? i don't think Pretty woman understand really what 30 years to life in prison means ?
That woman has got a very pretty handbag hasn't she
