Former Ballerina Accused of Murdering Her Husband — The Story So Far

A former ballerina and model stands accused of murdering her husband in her Florida home in September 2020. Ashley Benefield claims she shot her husband, Doug Benefield, in self-defense after he attacked her. Leading up to Doug’s death, the marriage was filled with disorder as Ashley claimed her husband was abusive and tried to poison her. The former dancer faces a second-degree murder chase in Doug’s death as she pushes the stand-your-ground narrative. The Law&Crime Network’s Jesse Weber breaks down the story so far with Jules Epstein, a criminal law and evidence professor at Temple University Beasley School of Law.
