Two days of motion hearings surrounding a stand your ground defense are expected to kick off today for Ashley Benefield, the former ballet dancer accused of murdering her husband, Douglas Benefield. Detectives say Ashley went to a neighbor’s house in September 2020 claiming Douglas attacked her, so she shot him. However, during the investigation, it was discovered Douglas most likely had his back to Ashley when he was shot. The couple had reportedly gotten married 13 days after they met.

In case anyone’s interested and I can’t believe media hasn’t jumped on it yet but someone just sent the judge a letter (it’s in the public records) she tried to get a hitman before she decided to to do it herself!!! Where is the media now???
Had judge Moreland's findings come in as evidence in the trial, Ashley would have been convicted of murder in the second degree as charged. The judge very succinctly summarized Ashley's plot right there in that audio. This is exactly why juries are instructed not to research anything on the case.
She tried to go out the door to de-escalate. She asked him to leave. I do not understand why this is not stand your ground.
She a bad person
Gold digger gotta do what goldiggers do
I feel so truly horrible for this detective!!!
I am watching this after the trial and even watched the pretrial that happened a week before trial and Mr Taylor bothered me then and throughout the trial…watching him in this video angers me to no end. Mr. Taylor his so horrible the way he tries to manipulate what he perceives and not what the actual truth is. The way he is trying to impeach this detective is so wrong for so many reasons and I’m not sure why the judge is entertaining this for as long as he did. Mr. Taylor needs to retire!!!
7:36:35 Great Judge 👍 pre-trial teaser for closing arguments
6:42:03 M or Hmcide what is a purpose of search warrant? Is Hmcide M?

Watching after trial. I did not find her credible at all and didn’t think her story made sense, but I found it concerning how many people vehemently supported her.
I considered those who believed her might’ve had information I didn’t, so I decided to watch this hearing to see if my BS radar is malfunctioning.
I now believe without any doubt AB is where she needs to be: locked in a cage, and those who believe her are simply unable to read human behavior or have personal experiences that skew their view.
Who’s here after watching the live trial in 2024 with Grizzly True Crime? Whose eyes have rolled completely behind their sockets and see right through this manipulation madness of AB?
the cross examination from DA Warren to Detective = impeachment on arrest warrant was so anti-climatic. waste of one hour. I can't believe that the judge allowed such a display of ego and relevance.
Watching this is like watching "My Cousin Vinny"
The DA just loves to hear himself talk.
This DA on cross examination regarding the damn arrest warrant and trying to impeach the witness was so beyond ridiculous. I would have rather stuck toe nails in my eyeballs than having to listen to this again. but I continued to finish watching and listened to see the end result of what the judge ruled. This DA is the worst.
I finally understand now why Ashley killed her husband and all her other actions. She was NEVER going to let him move in with her and her daughter. It is not nearly as clear in the current trial.
Florida people are strange.
Hey Murphy how much did you pay judge moreland to give you that ruling
Said the spider to the fly. She lured him to his death
I love this judge!
Wowza. I’m watching her trial now and get curious between court sessions…. The evidence doesn’t match up. She’s still claiming he punched the dog when in fact it would seem he did not! Psycho girl…. Sheesh
Wow almost 6,000,000,000 subscribers Law and Crime!
Is anyone else having sound issues right now?
I had an "inducement" because the baby was ready, and the doc was going to be away during the possible birth. Was the baby really his?
Cops Like Det. Warren Are The Reason Peoe Hate Cops!!!!
The judge we listened to from a previous hearing was completely wrong & purposely ensuring she highlighted Ashley in the worst negative light! That man punched holes, shot his gun in their house, threw a loaded gun at her, & punched their dog and none of that is considered intimidation?? Blamed her for not leaving?? That pos judge has no idea what an abusive relationship is! No mention of him marrying a woman who's young enough to be his daughter, two weeks after meeting her & only nine months after his previous wife died! Doctors do not induce pregnancies unless it's medically necessary therefore, she must have been under a lot of stress due to this man!! That judge was WRONG WRONG WRONG!!
28:58 This SICKO was only there to promote/advertise his medical device! Freaking sad😢
‘M
More Amber Heard photo manipulation. If you look at other photos, her left eyelid is more pronounced than the right one. She has a subtle lazy eye. Sometimes it's more obvious than others. I know because mine does the same thing
I really like this judge!
Those Dr.s Got his info from her. Not that it was fact. Also why would this guy be biased in his investigation?
Day 2 is about an hour long, judge to decide but don't know when it will be.
PS. When does the actual trial start??
She was using him ,,, she wanted money and she clearly said she wanted a baby ,,,so once she found out he was broke she was done with him ,,,he was crazy over her ,,, ya he was angry at times but i dont think he ever hit her , she knew he was not going away with the custody so she planned on murdering him , Im so glad she f*ked up and got caught,,,i hope justice is served,,,murder is murder and its wrong!!!
I'd like to see a close up this lady
Shr truly loves herself it’s proven she is a liar and take matters into her own ends then she is guilty she should be in jail iff it was a man he would be
