Ashley Benefield Facing 30 Years in Prison | Black Swan Murder Trial 

It kinda backfired didn't it lol 😅

lol she got her pants up to her fake chest

✨Bingo!🧚

Well said!

Master Manipulator, chronic selfishness and self centeredness to the point it made her sick or not in her right mind.

AGREED!! She studied him, pursued him, seduced him. Wanted her Ballet company and a baby. Then she got rid of him.

I Agree.

✨You just hit the bullseye's🎯

✨You just hit the bullseye's🎯

AGREE

Me too

Exactly 😂

It was pretty good, if Doug was playing that fruit ninja game. Ashley's chopping hands could have used some onions that day, for sure.

Facts 💯 anyone with Doug's background of removing a weapon from someone in close quarters isnt going to be making ninja moves. 🙄

She was kung fu fighting 🎶 😅

I agree with everything you posted except the part about eyes turning black. Eyes don't change color that drastically then revert back to baby blue. Dv survivor, card holding member here. I have not been hit in over 10 years and I still have silver ball floaties in vision in both eyes 24/7/365. I think it's detached retinas.

I M a DV survivor as well... It's an experience I don't wish on anyone. It is degrading, painful, soul sucking and a self esteem destroyer..... Fortunately, a clear head and a plan saved me a couple decades ago... I don't believe a word she said. I recognize real pain.

@@ravenrozeb3790Marcia Thompson was a true DV survivor. She was just acquitted at her trial. Ashley BENEFIELD should have been convicted of 2nd degree murder. She is a narcissistic sociopath!

Doug was an abuser. Not all DV abuse or victims look or sound the same. I’m a DV survivor too, from two very different relationships. (After the first physically abusive relationship, I really believed I had made the healthy choice the 2nd time around). The 2nd relationship never crossed the line into “physical abuse”, although it came very close as time went on. This DV relationship went on (& off) for 15 years, as it was far more difficult for me to recognize, address, and permanently leave than the first. The long-term consequences have been far more difficult for me to overcome than the relationship that involved clear-cut physical violence. The emotional & mental violence day-in & day-out was like boxing w/an abusive ghost who everyone outside our relationship thought, and still thinks, is a fantastic catch. I believe Ashley and am disgusted by Court TV’s coverage of this case. Having Doug’s former attorney, who LIED on the stand, as a guest, is as comical as her testimony. And the behavior of the two prosecutors was the most repulsive & reprehensible I’ve ever seen. There are MANY DV survivors who believe and support Ashley, who recognize how the system continues to fail women like her, who are victims of abusers like Doug, while simultaneously placing the abuser on a pedestal. This case underscores the failure of the system, society and Court TV to recognize another, less commonly portrayed aspect of DV. This is why women don’t report.

@@TalLeGal yeah, definitely going to have to agree to disagree 🤷🏻‍♀️

Some women push the tears away bc if you show tears the aggressor finds enjoyment for the weakness

I guess you didn't see her re-enactment of the day of the shooting, if you did you would have seen her unable to compose herself. How little empathy and putting one in another's shoes there is and how easy it is to judge another. I wish no one has to ever come across a judge and jury, most of the time the innocent are found guilty.

I saw tears

@@divadoll55 You are so GULLIBLE. LOL 😂

I SAID THAT FROM DAY 1

😉👏🎯⚖️

YESSS YUSSS

I’m glad she’s finally behind bars!! Now, let’s keep her there for the next 30!! I really didn’t like how she was out on bond with her stupid ankle monitor.

She won’t . Not on manslaughter. Just because the state wants that . Thats not what they get. . 10 Years . Out in 7

Most probably she will get the mimimum.

The daughter will feel that she failed to help her mother. People just don't understand.

✨Apple doesn't fall far from the tree, huh?

She doesn’t know better 😢

That child looks like her mother. 😮 I very much hope the child don't become like her mother.

​@@m.g.2645Huh? You ask this dumb question alot.

That’s what I thought Manslaughter is by accident this is no accident 🥲

@@helenperry3072nope. It was truly planned. 💯

She only thought of herself. What about her daughter? She now doesn't have a mom or a dad.

Absolutely 💯 its just a matter of time. The child needs both parents .

Exactly , I've lost count on how many cases I've watched where one parent murders the other and then claim , they were doing it because they didn't want to share custody , but that's not why they kill them , it's anger , revenge , hate and they aren't thinking about their children at all , it's selfishness , greed , no thought for the children at all who lose both parents and their lives destroyed , how is that what was best for your child smh I can maybe understand if one parent is abusive and treated the children horrible but killing the other parent only takes u away and the children lose , always but this case wasn't about abuse , it was about greed and a selfish horrible woman that only ever really loved herself , evil woman that ruined those two girls lives.

Ashley was not going to share custody. Everything she did was to deny her child a father. Every move she made in family court and she was failing. The court saw her as a liar ad unstable. Doug would have so full custody

Child should be given to his family

Hear hear!

✨Apple doesn't fall far from the tree, huh?⚖️

Right? It was hysterical.🤣🤣😂 I guess she wasn't coached on that.

I can't believe ANYONE believes her. She uses her own child as a pawn/weapon/cheerleader in her own MURDER trial...she is despicable. Anyone who thinks this is anything less than 1st degree murder is GULLIBLE and naive. She tried to kidnap his child, accused him of attempted poisoning of his own child...her behaviors were a million times worse than anything Doug did. Ugh...she is a con artist and gold digger! At least she didn't get off Scott free. Poor Eva and Emerson😑

In Florida you are required to serve at least 85% of your prison sentences. So if she gets the max, she will definitely have to serve at least 25.5 years.

Truth in sentencing law; they must do 85% of certain felony convictions

@@SahumiKany same comment!

@@lovepet4565 if AB given minimum, that would be 85% off that amount of time?

Neither does he daughter. So ?

Her dad was garbage . He didn’t care about his daughter when he married Ashley

Her daughter is better off without her. Although the maternal grandmother will very likely also shape her granddaughter into having narcissistic personality disorder.

The Child should go to Dougs family. She has a half sister and much more better people than Ashleys mom or friends.

And shes been tainted mentally by her momster about her dad

@@ravenrozeb3790 I agree, and I believe it was totally premeditated. I would be curious as to what actually happened in the jury room.

Hopefully she will be able to work through it as an adult. Im sure she will feel guilt. Growing up without either of your parents is terrible if youve already bonded with them. Very sad case.

Completely pre meditated He walked right into That trap

Yes, and crucially, the firearm was aimed downwards, which is a dominant position, not a defense posture. The Defendant's reenactment was tantamount to an execution.

Like the prosecutor did with J Arias. I think AB's "demonstration" was even worse

Definitely

Straight facts‼️😮

Thats what the prosecuter was trying to prove. Im just shocked at all those who believe her. If this were an accident, shed show sorrow and compassion for Eve. Shed still feel guilty. She showed no emotion for anyone but herself

⁠@@cheryshstrongYou are aware that a lawyer may instruct a client that such a statement may not be advisable with a trial going on, correct? This level of ignorance within a population of whom may be called as a jury of ‘peers’ is beyond comprehension.

She shot him before their psychological evaluations were supposed to be read in open court for a custody hearing for their daughter. In my opinion, she knew she was going to lose custody due to what was in her psych eval.

I do believe every juror believed this wasn’t self defense. But they struggled with 2nd degree or manslaughter. I hope she receives the maximum of 30 years

You have no idea what was going through her mind, or if she had to be medicated to endure the ordeal of being in trial for defending yourself. Your ignorance is astounding.

​@@astrohateradeyou really talking about ignorance? A Female judge called her BS when she tried a injunction and 5 out of the 6 jurors who were Woman found her GUILTY....wtf you talking about? Shooo you feminist like a flie on dog 💩. Pathetic.

@astrohaterade. Agreed..well said

@@LatinaLatina1011 nope. 👎 if the injunction wasn’t going to go ahead then that was going to be the first time the court had available to release the report. It just came to light that the murderer was even more premeditated than anyone thought- she wasn’t going to drop the injunction. She was going to keep it and then ride off into the sunset without Doug never for him to see his baby again… that’s why she chucked a tanty like the baby she is when the stuff got mixed up in the Uhaul and she decided to kill him.

She did very well as a witness. Here on the video, she tells the truth about how dangerous Ashley Benefield really is.

What a joke! Emerson will grow up to hate Doug and his family, especially Eve.

She wasn't thinking she was so enraged with Doug she just killed him...for absolutely nothing. End of story.

Not just motherless, fatherless too.

Ashley's mother is 80% sure to be a an accessory to the crime. They set up a regular patter off taking this girl Emerson out ... if that was thoroughly investigated I'm sure it has serious holes in it. If Ashley was worried about issues with ex husband would not the mother be saying - "let's pack up and get out of here. " ? The mother's involvement stinks to me. It's the last person who should have custody of the child. TE.FIdler.

Both appear cold , calculated. They have disregard for anyone else beside themselves . They did not care that the children would have no parents after all this was over! Sinister minds!

@@chrisjohnson194 They did not care because they assumed that by using the D violence Motif then Ashley would get away with it. THere is no more reason that Ashley's mother should get custody than Doug's mother . In fact , given the suspicion about her involvement there are VERY Good reasons why she should have no custody and only partial grand parent rights. I hope that Ashley has no money left and can't fight any ruling against her on this matter - if it happens. NO visible injuries on Ash except possibly self inflicted ones, 2 Terrible presentation on the stand, 3 Doug not shot in front of torso as in a self defense wound on AB's part , 4 Doug had no weapon, 5 Multiple loaded semi automatics in the house... 6 .The risk that all Ashley's lies would come out at the headshrinker meeting at the end of the week, 7. Doug's attempts to get shared parenting and AB's rebuttal of that, I could have convicted her within one week of the crime. I hope she pulls close to thirty years inside . Doug's parents should sue her in civil court too... they could justify that by saying hey need money for rearing and college tuition of the child.

​​​​@F_Tim1961 I totally agree! Ashley's mother Alicia is broke. That is why they are pushing the GFM. Also, her appeal will be denied. We do hope Eva and Tommie sue Ashley and Alicia in civil court for wrongful death. Just an FYI, Doug's father passed when he was 14 and his mother is also deceased. And Dennis Beatty should be glad Ashley's in jail (soon to be in prison). He would have been her next VICTIM!

Exactly, Ashley is selfish and child like and I fully believe her mother Alicia encouraged her daughters horrible behavior to get custody of Emerson at any cost. I wouldn't be surprised if the mom helped her plan the ambush and then she left for the park with the child and the dog was at the groomers I'd say it was all premeditated, and she got away with first degree murder Ashley needs to serve at least 30 years in my opinion. I hope Doug gets his good name back And everyone realizes that Ashley AND her mother lied to Eva, 15, about Doug poisoning AB when she was pregnant to hurt her and the baby is absurd! She slandered his name and Now we know the truth Emerson should not be in the custody of her mother and CPS needs to step in and redirect the best interest of the child. A guardian ad li dem should be appointed. Eva and Emerson are sisters and she should be with a loving family like Doug and Eva and half brothers. Finally I do hope CPS steps in and takes custody away for the grandmother for her outright abuse encouraging Doug's 6 year old to protest in the name of domestic violence and "Keeping her mommy free" 🖐️ with purple adult, not child's, handprints on the message. It's mental abuse imo. Judge Please make Alicia Buyers do a psychological and mental evaluation to see if she's even fit to have full custody of Emerson. Lord willing the child will know the truth she was loved by her daddy.

​@@jeanP924Ashley's mother is mentally deranged as her daughter. Hoping they remove Emerson from the home.

Huh? You really believe that’s what set this off? Well, most would probably go off the evidence and that shows the main issue wasn’t Eva, it was the baby Doug and Ashley had together and the custody/court challenges she was facing… Eva had very little to do with Ashley’s motives. 🤦🏽‍♂️

parental alienation

Doug didn't care about either of his kids

@@donnakehoe478 LMFAO!!! Ding ding!!! The dumbest comment of the day goes to…?! DONNAKEHOE478-DUNCE!!!

She's a sociopath. No regret. No remorse. No emotion. Couldn't even fake the tears.

​@@reddeadjuju I was looking for sorrow, some disbelief from ashley but, she just took the verdict motionless.

@@myp0h same it's truly sickening to see her play victim this whole time poor Doug was with a psychopath narcissist all about Ashley and what she could gain

He was the one suffering from domestic abuse from her! So sad he had to lose his life for this narcissistic succubus! I couldn’t believe the grandmother putting that baby out there with a sign! Beyond sick!

Narcissistic personality disorder.

Also from uk she's a dangerous woman, she uses her looks and dougs love for her to lure him back...

I would love to know her last words to her attorney as she was cuffed & led out of the court room.

Her lawyer kept rubbing her back and shoulders. He was obviously trying to comfort her but what a creep. He let her testify and her testimony was a joke. He should go to prison with her !! Terrible lawyer and that voice of his is so disturbing!! I had trouble listening to him.

@@StephanieFlower-d9j 😹😹😹

What do you mean he was stalking her

She didn't even reach for her phone to call 911 after she shot the man.

@@u.synlig right!! So strange to me

And you think even if she would’ve reached for her phone that would’ve protected her because most abusers rip the phone out of your hand and smashed it so how was that any protection for her? If what was going on as she stated?

Hey uncle Tommy, you truly are a simpleton because there’s plenty of awesome women that have been victims of DV that have not said anything to our parents or sisters or even friends about it so that tells me right there you know nothing about domestic violence

@Tammy_26Irwin That theory is belied by the Defendant's own words: _"he'd never hit me before."_ So, anyone in that situation would have at least tried the civil approach first. That she assumed the worst was simply not credible. Thus, the Defendant didn't accurately predict violence, as there was no such evidence. Rather, she was trying to instigate a confrontation. Also, the whole "kept coming at me" story is countered by an entrance wound in the back of the victim's calf.

What should have been premeditated first degree murder ended with a manslaughter conviction. She cleverly planned this murder for many months.

Doug should have thought about how Eva would be affected when he abused his wife to the point where she had to shoot him to protect herself! Another casualty of his abusive nature. Yes, poor Eva indeed.

She's not a victim stop defending a pathological liar 🙄

​@@astrohateradeAshley should've thought about her daughter before she murdered her father and had her stand near the courthouse with a sign,she didn't though

@@astrohaterade You're comical and also kind of sad in your level of gullibility. At least you are among the vast minority.

Her look is 0 remorse imo

I noticed her under eye area is less dark and hallow? Maybe lighting or perhaps some makeup at trial? I would think I would look worse being booked into jail.??

An entitled princess killer met her match. A smart jury! Guilty...

Good point. Very odd to move out of state and not inform your husband of the birth of _his_ own child. Unless, of course, it's not actually his child, after all.

👍🏽 People are not very bright generally speaking 😂 😂 They are easily **Swayed** by Looks, and we aLL know that Appearances Can Be Deceiving.

I'm honestly surprised that there are so many people in the comments saying the things that they are. I don't know if I believe that she was acting in self-defense but I don't think that she did this and planned it out. I definitely think that she was abused by him. He sounds like he was a messed up individual and a lot of abusers hide their actions to their own close family members. I had experience with that. Absolutely no one knew

EXACTLY!

@@laurenhb2500 the comments are mostly visceral hate towards Ashley, but there was no evidence presented that she planned this. I believe the commenters are actually triggered by jealousy- and I'm not being sarcastic. She put herself in prison by being a dancer and taking a bikini photo, as beautiful young woman cause so much envy that all the villagers with their pitchforks cant think correctly. And I absolutely agree with you a thousand percent- it seems a lot of commenters haven't experienced an abuser or a toxic relationship whatsoever, and that is a good thing...but I guess they just cannot understand. Another point about Doug was that he showed absolutely no thought for his first daughter purposely excluding her from his wedding and introducing Ashley after they were already married... like what a hurtful and mean thing to do

@@August-tu1yb I am the victim of psychological, mental and physical abuse decades ago thankfully. This young lady had choices and she chose to end a life needlessly. Why did she enlist his help if she was SO SCARED of him during the moving process? Not everyone is jealous of an attractive white woman with money.... Makes her no smarter or better or capable than anyone else.....Disproportionately though, attractive women do skate on most egregious acts... ( I suppose it's natures gift to some and it's curse to others). You diminish the intelligence of the commenters here, however to suggest that is their bias. She appears to be an entitled phony. If nothing else, then she has the emotional immaturity of a high schooler; not thinking through the consequences of impulsive action that could land her in jail and away from her young child. Good riddance.

A lot of times people believe what they want to believe. If you follow the evidence, and the Defendant's own words, the victim never laid a hand on her. That makes a claim of "battered spouse syndrome" farcical.

Doug's dather passed when he was 14. That was Tommie, his cousin and his brother.

@@jmgood2870 Oh ok. Thank you for the clarification 👍 I changed the wording🙂

Americans and their ego trips...they do not care a bit about, all the innocent people who are shot to dead, everyday in their country...
