Crime Scene Photos Show Ballerina Ashley Benefield After Shooting Her Husband 

Always suspicious when someone cries and cries but the face is dry

It wouldn't surprise me if Ashley inflicted these injuries on herself. I just cannot trust her story

Them stenographers do an amazing job and make it look so easy 👏 so much respect for them doing that all day without fking up as its got to be so accurate 👏 👌 👍

Ashley LOST , (was ****DENIED**** by Florida Judge Whyte) in court regarding her Stand Your Ground motion to dismiss the case. 😅

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 😡

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.

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!!

Okay seriously though, don't get married to young girls after you've just met them, genius.

She is 100% guilty. She is 30 YEARS younger. C'mon, 30 years!?!

That defense lawyer getting torn apart.

She's going to prison for a long time.

He does not look 30 years older than her. JS.

She came back to Doug despite if he was such a angry hot head guy with a bad temper...she came back...simply because he was successful financially and more than likely would have done anything to please her i.e. open her own ballerina company which failed of course but he was willing to go great heights for this woman.. She tried to turn him against his own daughter tried to claim he was poisoning her no proof of any physical abusive trauma no prior reports of him beating on her other than punching a dog which is an animal not a human...I believe she knew the right buttons to push to lead up to this point so when she finally decided to murder him it would look justified

Just learning about this case. She seems cray cray. Side point is house is a dirty mess. Even some posed photos of her there is a disaster of a mess in the background.

She committed first degree murder. She plotted and planned this.

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....

The photos of her she looks much older than 24 yrs old. It’s sad when men fall into the hands of young gold digger. Especially when they are a vulnerable naive widow. 😢 What a sad case. I really feel for his daughters.

She’s definitely should be held somewhat accountable. A gold digger who got in over her head. I say ultimately a manslaughter charge.

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 is guilty, she is a gold digger 😮I feel sorry for the first daughter

Whatever that gun is, it’s no joke. Haven’t been following, will have to go back and watch earlier stuff. Remember though: they are not giving all the evidence here-it’s a hearing not the trial.

Ashley Benefield must think she's Billy the Kid

Why is watching the stenographer funny... Like, they just look like they're pretending to write something

This defense is ill prepared

She’s guilty….

It’s sad how this man allowed himself to be swayed into relationship by a pretty face

If you marry a young woman 30 year difference don't be shocked if she tries to put you under

3 loaded pistols in a house with a 2 year old!!

Is Ashley another Amber Heard? 🧐

8:28pm she shows up. Shooting at 5:00 ish. So, photos taken 3.5 plus hours after the incident.

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

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

Like this judge. Defense attorney is a refreshing change from a lot of other trials.

Why do they still have court stenographers when they have video and audio recordings now???

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.

State attorney, female, begins almost all questions with “and.” And. Um. Um. And.

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.

was there any life insurance involved that will influence her to commit the murder?

Of course, they always go get the firearm. But what I don't get is why they didn't collect the firearm when this incident happened.

I wish I were a court reporter. Could you imagine all the insanity you would be exposed too? 😩 Just horrific.

I'm still suspicious of his wife's death. The one they found face down in their bed. That is very concerning to me.

“A .45”??? Looks like a Sig P938 9mm to me.

He wanted her posse, she wanted his purse.

So sad

17:40 What was that photo? Were those photos during the arrest?

Some people should not own guns.

Anyone else think that she looks exactly like Leitisha??

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…

I hope they get this manipulative woman who killed this man to keep him from ever being a father to their child.

Wtf keep leading with ballerina 😂😂😂😂😂😂 media really big on narratives

7:37 gets notice shows up at 8:28.

Why was she just wildly shooting?? If she was so scared?? 😳 not buying her BS!

Having guns stashed around the house tells me she may have been very afraid of someone

When the lawyer said “Manatee County”, I cracked up!😂 🍔🍟

Sounds like:Laily's friend(n if anything)etc.Another strange case,looks like her mom knows

I though she was Leticia stauch they look the same

Get an astrology synastry chart before you get involved with someone.

Hello

😮

And um…and um…

All men over 50 are swayed by pretty faces cause all men well not all but most think with only one thing.

These prosecutors are very unprofessional and disruptive.

She should have aimed lower judging by the level of comments here.

I ain't gonna lie he looks creepy af. Maybe it's just that photo. 🤔

Jodi Arias.

Not guilty. Serious doubts that the shots were not self-defense. He was beating her, that's good enough for her to fear for her life and safety.

Come on, give the girl back her firearm I mean the police don't need to put it in their personal collection

Sounds like she was protecting herself from an abusive husband! Not guilty.

She's definitely not guilty based on what we've seen so far this morning.

Ashley is young, rich, and beautiful..........she will get off free.

These woman watch too many American movies the only problem is the movies don't show the consequences one faces after a person is shot .
