Ashley Benefield is a former ballerina who was arrested for murdering her estranged husband, Doug. The reports say that Ashley shot and killed her husband in their home in Florida in September 2020. Last July, she appeared in the Manatee County court asking Judge Matt Whyte to dismiss her case, saying that she shot her husband in self-defense, but he denied her claims and ordered for trial. She made headlines when the trial for her husband’s murder began on Tuesday (July 23, 2024) and is being televised.
