“Black Swan” Trial Begins / Shocking Not Guilty for Marcia Thompson / Killer Ladies & More!

Welcome back to #CourtroomConfidential with Joshua Ritter! This week, I share my insights on some of this week’s updates in the true crime world, including: Notoriously known as the “Black Swan Murder” #AshleyBenefield, a Florida ballerina, shoots her estranged husband in what prosecutors allege was a calculated and cold-blooded murder. Her defense maintains she was a battered woman pushed to the brink by her obsessive and abusive ex-partner, #DougBenefield. In another case with striking similarities, #MarciaThompson, a U.S. Customs officer, has been found not guilty by a Florida jury for fatally shooting her husband, with allegations of systematic violence again playing a key role. Additionally, I briefly cover other cases that made headlines this week, including #DonnaAdelson’s status hearing ahead of her trial for the death of her former son-in-law #DanMarkel, a new trial date set for #KarenRead, #SarahBoone’s hand-drawn advertisement looking for a new attorney, and the trial for #ChristineRicci, charged with the stabbing death of her husband Michael, a Boston firefighter.
