WATCH LIVE: Ballerina Murder Trial — FL v. Ashley Benefield — Stand Your Ground Hearing — Day One

Two days of motion hearings surrounding a stand your ground defense are expected to kick off today for Ashley Benefield, the former ballet dancer accused of murdering her husband, Douglas Benefield. Detectives say Ashley went to a neighbor’s house in September 2020 claiming Douglas attacked her, so she shot him. However, during the investigation, it was discovered Douglas most likely had his back to Ashley when he was shot. The couple had reportedly gotten married 13 days after they met. #AshleyBenefield #BallerinaMurder #lawandcrime STAY UP-TO-DATE WITH THE LAW&CRIME NETWORK: Watch Law&Crime Network on YouTubeTV: https://bit.ly/3td2e3y Where To Watch Law&Crime Network: https://bit.ly/3akxLK5 Sign Up For Law&Crime's Daily Newsletter: https://bit.ly/LawandCrimeNewsletter Read Fascinating Articles From Law&Crime Network: https://bit.ly/3td2Iqo LAW&CRIME NETWORK SOCIAL MEDIA: Instagram:   / lawandcrime   Twitter:   / lawcrimenetwork   Facebook:   / lawandcrime   Twitch:   / lawandcrimenetwork   TikTok:   / lawandcrime   LAW&CRIME NETWORK PODCASTS: https://lawandcrime.com/podcasts/ SUBSCRIBE TO ALL OF LAW&CRIME NETWORK YOUTUBE CHANNELS: Main Channel:    / @lawandcrime   Law&Crime Shorts:    / @bestoflawandcrime   Channel B:    / @lawandcrimetrials   Channel C:    / @lawandcrimebodycam
