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.

    The former judge called her a scheming, manipulative liar. Self defence argument, splintered.
  • @cdelane3335
    I wish this judge could've testified in the actual trial.
  • @MrBetc
    Too many murderers try the Stand Your Ground defence. This woman is a cold blooded murderer and deserves to be put away forever.
  • @user-cn1xl1cm1l
    First time seeing someone bring a matching purse to the stand lol
  • @cat3309

    A good reason to never marry anyone you have only known for 2 weeks

  • @TheSkintBachelor
    Women going in and weoponizing the court against the father is a trope so tired i think even the courts are so fed up and god knows these Laws need to change. We live in hope.
  • @Ashley__Rose
    Lol she said SCINTILLA Ashley. Not a single scintilla of credibility.
  • @joshuadavid2534
    Wow. Judge ruled in favor of the husband. This is a rare moment caught on video. Someone make sure that this is saved for posterity to show the people of the future that it’s possible.
  • @karlad4082
    It’s just weird that a man would want to poison his wife. If a man wants to kill his wife, he either hires a hitman or kills her himself. Men don’t often poison their wives. Women do, and that’s probably why she thought of the poisoning excuse 🤷🏻‍♀️
  • @lindafarnes486
    Didn't she admit he never once hurt her during cross examination?
  • @taraA1976
    I knew Doug and this woman is pure evil and this whole situation was a travesty!
  • @lisagrande9266
    I remember this case and 30 mins in i knew this woman was a psychopath
