Regardless of what Doug's family thinks, they did not live with him or know how he treated Ashley behind closed doors.
She showed no remorse! Did you not see that there were no actual tears? She's a great actress, but there were zero tears! She's a sociopath!
It’s shocking to me that anyone legitimately believes she is remorseful.
@Jennifer-uc2oh Looks got her far with middle age straight men, obviously...including the Judge
agree
I don’t see her being remorseful at all
I was leaning toward acquittal until she testified. After that I was a firm guilty.
@@jakebe4915She reminds me of Scarlett O'Hara. It's not that she's particularly pretty, she's most likely charming.
And the men she charms are...easy catches.
She deserved Life in prison
She wanted that baby all to herself. She set him up, planted the gun, lured him upstairs and terminated his parental rights permanently.
Absolutely but since murder intent could not be proven! At least jury gave this to everyone!
Agree
We all know what she planned. And she knows that she failed. She’s just mad and livid that women were onto her. She’s totally used to getting away with everything from men. Especially older men. Women 👀 right though her. She 💯 belongs in prison. TY Judge! Buh bye Ashley! 😂
Exactly, case closed Counselor!
She also thought he was loaded (ballet Co) & was planning her lavish lifestyle & when she found out the truth, her plans to eliminate him began.
This women is guilty of murder. She showed no remorse at all. She was just looking for her next sugar daddy.
You know I feel sorry for the family and the friends I lost my son because my mom murdered him it went unknown
Sugar daddy? You mean the lovesick judge over here? Poor dude makes Doug seem almost uninterested in her
She was looking for her next sugar daddy? Enlighten me, I don’t remember any of that testimony or evidence
That's not a look of remorse but of sulking anger.
i wonder if you have been locked in a cell for a long time. what would your facial expr look like
@@stevenphilip719she shouldnt have murdered her husband then should she.quite simple really
@@stevenphilip719 She hasn't been in there nearly as long as she is going to be and I don't have to worry about that because I wouldn't kill my husband.
@@annebosworth7048 i 100percent agree with that. i was commenting on how people think her face should look. HOW WOULD THEY KNOW
@stevenphilip719 ok got cha
I watched the trial...she showed no remorse, she set him up. 🙄🙄 20yrs...Justice Served!!
Yes, she did the HISTRIONIC WITCH
Is 20 years really 20 years in Florida? I know here in PA, most only do half that time if they complete programs, good behavior etc.
Totally agree. I think she’s mentally evil.
@@True_Crime_Junkie16 I was also wondering this? So is she out in about 16 years because of time served or is she eligible for parole before that time? Either way, she deserved more in my opinion! Zero remorse.
@@True_Crime_Junkie16 She has to do 85% of her sentence by Florida law, she can earn up to 10 days of " good time" per month. She could possibly be released in about 15 years and 6 months.
God she looks terrible. She’s fallen a long way from her former life. I never believed her for a minute.
Sulky and angry because she was found out and convicted.
She is also looking really rough.
Or sulky and angry because you were wrongfully convicted for acting in self defense. The looks would be same.
@@lifeafterlawschool4842 Rollocks!
She was convicted of manslaughter which is the right verdict.. not more serious.
It was the right verdict.
@lindseypeers9896 alright 👍, thanks for the intellectual debate.
Finally some justice for a
Dad who loved his girls !
I just think she should have been charged and sentenced with 1st degree murder.
I think most dad's love thier girls.!
a classic manipulator
She has never been remorseful. She didn't want him to have custody that is the bottom line
She should have gotten life, so sick of these type of women
let's be more sick of these liberal judges that are pro the criminal
I'm also sick about these women like her, Amber Heard, but also I'm sick about older men getting much younger women over and over again, like Johnny Depp. 😮
@ there are younger men getting with older women too, look at Miranda Lambert & Gwen
It is a type of person, a user can be male or female, so sad and destructive.
All through the trial she cried with no tears, and made these god awful sad faces. She is such a fraud..
Those sad faces might have worked before she was 25. Looking at her today, she lost the touch and it's not going to help much for the next 20 years.
I DIDN'T THINK THOSE WERE SAD FACES...i FEEL LIKE SHE BELIEVES SHE IS ENTITLED...AND SHOULD GET AWAY WITH MURDER !!!!
Glad you feel you can judge people by the way they look. Hope people treat you the same way.
@@lifeafterlawschool4842 gtfoh. supporting a murderer
@@lifeafterlawschool4842 how would you judge an evil murderer?? What a dumb comment!
The way the Victims were Shut Down whilst Reading their Victim's Impact Statements out, was simply Disgusting.‼️
150% Ageee
I didn't see their statements ... How were they "shut down?". I DID watch Sarah Boone's statement and she was absolutely despicable and disgusting! Glad to know she was dumb Enuf to turn down the Plea deal for just 15 years, of which she'd only have served 8-10 because she got a LIFE SENTENCE and in Florida, Life actually means LIFE! No chance for parole 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Yes it was Disgusting and so VERY BIASED for the CONVICTED MURDERER.
She deserved more time. It was not self-defense. She did not want him to have anything to do with their daughter, and after the family court saw through her lies, she took matters in her into her own hands.
Spot on..others in this string obviously didn't watch the trial. She's a master manipulator
It is debatable how that would help society.
In the Nordic countries the primary goal is to rehabilitate, instead of punishing.
In Finland, she would serve 4-5 years.
Yet, women who have killed someone very rarely are repeat offenders, no crimes at all after they have been released.
I totally agree with you. She plotted to marry him as soon as she met him, she purposely got pregnant to trap him and did her best to keep the baby away from her Dad and when he wouldn't go away and 'cough up' money for this little girl, she then plotted to kill him and walk away without any punishment by claiming 'self defence.' She should have got at the minimum, 40 years!! She's a wicked murderer!
💯
@@lindseypeers9896 Well, she didn't really "purposely get pregnant". They agreed to have Doug get a vasectomy reversal, so they both obviously wanted a child. And the minimum for manslaughter is only 30 years there, not 40.
Ashley is so angry she could spit
Yup! Couldn’t have said it better! Doesn’t seem like she likes her lawyer either!
@@Juke582I don't blame her about the lawyer he's insufferable
Very angry indeed
She's a Spoiled Princess.
Very sulky…
She also Paraded her Daughter in front of the courts trying to coerce the Jury with a "Free My Mommy" Sign....Simply ATROCIOUS!!
The LAST person to be raising her is her mother!! Look at the job she did on this one🙄
@carollucey111 Comment of the year! Bravo!
Agree- poor kid has both nature and nurture working against her- hopefully Doug’s genes are dominant!
She should have gotten life . She should have been found guilty of firsst degree murder. My gut tells me she started plotting as soon as she got pregnant. Rid of Doug as soon as possible in any means necessary and nothing was working so she riled him up to the point she could shoot him and claim self defense and abuse.
Completely agree
She WASN'T found guilty of 1st degree murder. Were you on the jury? Your gut tells you is no basis for any conclusions. It was not possible to sentence her to life.
She wasn't even charged with first. Top charge was second, but jUrors were weasels and compromised to simply manslaughter so they could go home.
she'll be out at 53 yrs old, she could live another 20 years after that! Still can start a life for herself - and get another husband. yes , too right should of been throwing the key away and given her life!
It was too hard to prove motive to murder prosecutor said. Bummer as we know she plotted to murder
She looks 15 years older than the last time I saw her during her trial
She's full of hate cause she didn't get away with it...
So true. OMG can we all just imagine 20 years from now?!
Hehe ohhh boi! 🤭
YES she has Aged. I don't imagine that she's sleeping so restfully being surrounded by Criminals.
@@StephanieFlower-d9j well she's one of them..
Are you trying to say that she isn't a criminal 🤔 IMO she is right at home. @StephanieFlower-d9j
I'm convinced beyond any doubt that this was murder. She was fortunate to get such a light sentence.
20 years in jail state prison is not a light sentence. You cannot compare 20 years out and 20 years in jail, she will never raise her daughter, she is cooked she will leave jail looking like 68
I believe it was premeditated murder, but she was charged with 2nd degree murder. Thankfully she was convicted of manslaughter. Justice for Doug Benefield.
What a difference between sentences. Sarah B. gets life and thus one only 20 years! Sarah burned herself though having to have so many lawyers and constantly writing letters. Then her conniving attitudr right up until the end with her non remourseful speech.
I thought it was premeditated also !!!! 😡
@@janedixon8491 agree AGREE !!! PTSD MY HIND IN !!!!!!!! FAKER, EVIL, LYING CREEP CREEPY WOMAN !!!!!!!!!
She should have gotten charged and sentenced with 1st degree murder.
Strange how she only has a manslaughter charge
The only difference between Ashley and Wendy Adelson is Ashley did the deed herself. She should've gotten the 2nd degree conviction. Soft jury.
Indeed! Wendy was THE Instigator 100%. But her Brother hired and paid off the Hitmen and her mother was no doubt, the supplier of the $$$. Those poor kids lost:
1) Their father, a good man and great father
2) Access to HIS Parents
3) Will eventually lose Gramma Donna Adelson
4) Maybe their mother Wendy
These kids are subjected to the lifelong trauma of the Adelsons, these wicked people 😡
@@susancham6025 Dan Markel would still be alive today if Wendi's bf had done the right thing and given police but especially Dan a head's up his wife wanted to kill him.
He admitted as much on stand when he testified he should have done the right thing (YOU THINK) but he thought so long as he bounced what she wanted to do off his buddy who dismissed it, that was all the permission he needed to do nothing because his dik was his priority.
You'd have to suspend disbelief that Dan wouldn't have taken it completely seriously. He knew Wendi & her entire family were trying to do everything in their power to remove him from his children's lives.
In the very least, Dan would have exposed what she said and police wouldn't have to look far if she carried out her plot.
Anyone who blows off someone who he admitted was NOT JOKING has a screw loose!
She’s Angry…extremely
Trying to hide behind her hair.
@@chanel2018-k3zpulling the Lori Vallow act for attention!
She will be angry for 20 years in lockup and that’s wonderful for a psycho like her
Yup!
And dangerous
She Shows absolut no remorse, disgusting behaviour, R.I.P Doug
You do kniw 99% of inmates are placed on heavy antidepressants when they are evaluated in the jail right? So you can niy judge her by that as the drugs makes them numb!
*absolutely no remorse *R.I.P., Doug.

This fraudulent self absorbed violently intentional narcissistic heartless foul vagrant was numb waaayyy waaaaaayyyyyy before she ever graced the prison system and awaiting jail cell with her evil pouting spoiled rotten foul and filthy presence.......after she called Mr. Benefield and invited him over to her residence, 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀 this man she was soooooo terrified of, needed protection from, and feared horribly..........(lured him to his death🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮......LYING WENCH!!!!🤮🤮🤮).......upon his arrival, he was so kindly allowed to pack absolutely all of her belongings for her departure/move to safety, BS!!!!!!😤😤😤😤....this horribly vicious, abusive,threatening, attacker and crazed violent menacing individual that she was soooooo terrified of, i dont think so, doesn't even begin to pass the smell test....just called him up, not an ounce of fear exhibited, put her plans in motion, invited him over, to pack up her lazy thankless worthless disgusting self absorbed fat _ss😤😤........andddd, only when he's fully completed the task, this despicable, immoral, conniving, selfish, loathsome, premeditating, hateful, insignificant , free loading excuse for a human unloaded 4 rounds into this unarmed mans body and let him die alone on the ground without giving it a second thought.......should have been 1st Degree Premeditated Murder Charge, a Capitol offense in Florida, and she would be given the Death Penalty or Life without any Possibility of Parole. They screwed this one up big time............ prayers for Mr. Benefield and his daughter, the only true victims in this case. "Vengeance is mine says the Lord".
She isn't suffering from PTSD but rather NPD
RESTING B FACE!!!
Yes! Those doctors lie bad in trials! She is a histrionic personality disorder and a borderline too if you ask me!
She's a Little Princess who's used to getting her way and manipulating Men.
She had no remorse only anger for being convicted
The judge recognised her remorse, huh! She’s never shown nor expressed any remorse whatsoever. Disgraceful. Imo it wasn’t manslaughter & she’s got off far too lightly.
Agree
@@annebosworth7048That’s what I thought, what about his oldest daughter? She lost her father because of her.
I completely agree with you.
Guess the Judge likes her 😮
The judge needs new eyes prescription there was no remourse on her...
This woman thinks she should have this sense of entitlement. She married him in 13days after meeting she was looking for his money then wanted out.she set this man up to kill.she should get life.
She showed no remorse whatsoever, she should have gotten 25 to 30 years. Her Lawyer OMG you couldn't listen to him it was painful.
She's just pouting. Being a victim..... feeling sorry for herself.......
AND I TRULY LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, HOW PISSED SHE LOOKS !!!
Imagine headed to prison while most of us are decorating, our home and shopping….. loving life. 😊
Same with Jamie Komoroski. Really puts things in perspective.
Good job, your reward for not being mrrdery!
Their entitlement to take anothers life is something else, just divorce the guy🙄
@@invisobill2125 yep, she thought she was going home, the judge threw the book at her, her face was unreal, another remorseless brat
@@carollucey111 she seems very depressed actually.
Why is the judge nicer to Ashley than to Doug’s daughter
She has the demenor of someone who is used to getting her own way…shocker.
She didn’t get the right sentence she is so manipulative she should of got 30 years or more with possible probation
She’s going to be senior citizen by the time she’s free
Should have gotten the full 30 at least. I hope she actually has to do the full 20 and doesn't get a chance for early release. Fingers crossed the kid is with dad's family, if they are able.
Edit: Everybody is going to say they are remorseful because they know it looks better. It doesn't mean they are actually remorseful.
All the horrible things she did to him through lies and manipulation was just sickening. She deserves every single day , she set the plate to murder him with all her accusations and the crazy pathetic fearful behaviour of this poor man who wanted to just see his daughter . Only people with ptsd is Doug’s family and friends
Agree
She set him up and only gets 20 yrs. May it be 20 yrs of hell.
What happened to their daughter?! I just started following this case!
Yes agree
Probably with Ashley's mother. Ashley is despicable, she killed Doug, then had their little daughter with a sign protesting DV to free her mom. The little girl was about 5 years old.
@@kimdavis3259Ashley's Co conspirator evil mother is raising her...another future golddigger/killer.
That’s a long sentence
She has absolutely no remorse. She planned to shoot her husband and should of got life without parole. Her sentence was a slap on the wrist, the justice system doesn’t work,
If they make a tv movie or series about this case I think Katie Holmes should play the role as Benefield.
Love it! I think Alicia Vikander could pull it off for a series, but KH is better for a TV movie.
Yes she looks like Katie Holmes
Or even Mila Kunis would suit the role well .
Or Nina Dobrev
Definitely Katie Holmes should play the role
Once the sentence had been passed.....the purposely dull, half open eyes popped open, resigned but looking around again, the tongue rolling around the top of her mouth. Yep.....he didn't buy it.....So....no need for the deeply mentally wounded victim anymore......
It’s like during the pre trial when she used to come to court in tight well fitting designer duds with full makeup and hair. Once the jury was seated she changed to loose fitting, 1950s grandma type clothing with no makeup and no hair. Trying to look as a meek and battered victim.
do not feel for her
✨Her roommate diagnosed her with PTSD. She's extremely dangerous. 20 years is nothing⚖️
Let this be a warning to single older widows out there. Do not marry a GOLD DIGGER that is half your age. Trust me, she doesn't just like you for your personality! ;)
Reminds me of the black widow movie
A man whose wife has died is called a widower. A woman whose husband has died is a widow.
He also wanted arm candy.
She set him up. She lured him from the time she met him until she killed him. She deserves what she got. I'm glad it wasn't less than 20 years.
Life in prison
Where are her crocodile tears.
I bet she sits there in her cell, staring through the metal bars, wishing to god she’d handled this whole ‘child custody’ situation much better.
Serving 17.5 years cell in.....will make her life HARD!
CONSEQUENCES.
❤️🙏RIP 🙏❤️
BEST REGARDS AND BLESSINGS TO BOTH OF HIS DAUGHTERS🌺
Did you catch the look of utter contempt on her face when the judge asked if she had any final statement to make?? She’s so vile.
She looks ruff
That must be her look now. The same expression throughout the trial aswell .Im the victim .Im sweet and innocent.
She wasn’t remorseful
This judge sucks …. Denying a downward departure??? Why not go with an upward departure??? And then repeatedly shutting down the daughter? Wtf
She was so arrogant she didn't think she was going to jail
Man, I think in today's world, take care of yourself and stay away from any relationships and having children.
I’m going to agree with you here because I have been involved with a man for too long. He has a daughter that literally even after all these years can do no wrong. A lot of insane stuff going on looking forward to moving on with my life because when you do more for a kid than her own mother after helping her to get to live with us full time, has it made then decides to buddy up with Dad against me because she doesn’t wanna clean her room or do chores do Wtf she wants when she once eventually starts yelling and cursing at you and dad doesn’t do anything and becomes a nightmare. Well it’s time to say bye-bye! I’m not going out like that and I’m not gonna be another statistic cause she’s mentally Ill! Stay safe. Life is to short to be mixed up with crazy people and their crazy kids
May Doug Benefield Rest In Eternal Peace 🌼 🌸 🌻 🏵 🌼
I pray GOD BLESSES Doug and his family healing from this pain
This woman was found guilty by a jury of her peers now we have that vile lawyer saying Doug was the aggressor!! WHAT? Did I miss something. The family can’t say how they feel towards her but can call the victim an abuser?!! How the hell is this allowed she should get a whole life Tarif. She’s disgusting 🤮. I wish that lawyer would just shut up!!!!
There was evidence in the trial he kicked their family dog and fired a gun in the home to intimidate her (while his daughter was also home btw). He was abusive. The jury just didn't care.
@ I am an animal lover and that is truly an evil thing to do but so is killing someone. I think the jury saw right through her. Think about it how could he have been coming at her when she shot him in the back of the leg and into his back? That would suggest using common sense that he was retreating not advancing. As for hurting a dog there is no excuse absolutely!
Killing someone !!! A completely different level.
@@murderwiththecourt7834that happened in one day 3 years prior.. U can't kill someone for what happened 3 years before FFS..
@@andreafletcher4301exactly, both situations were not the same 🤷🏾♀️
All this over CUSTODY??? Imagine risking prison versus just giving your ex 50-50 custody. Absolutely insane.
Exactly
Narcissist
She is guilty as sin. I don't believe for one instant that her husband abused her in any way. He went through hell and back for her going into all that debt to open her a ballet studio, and then she left him holding the bag and bearing all the responsibility. She could have left and not introduced a gun into the mix. She is so guilty. She needs to go away for a long, long time.
She should spend the rest of her life in prison, period!!!
Ashley wasn’t abused. The jury didn’t believe her and neither did I. There was so much circumstantial evidence that Ashley set him up and then tried the battered spouse defence.
That judge was Extremely Judgemental. He barely let the Family express themselves. It was like he was protecting his ballerina and what was he was talking about when he said she was remorseful? I don't know where the judge was coming from. She only got 20 Years. She'll get out in 10 cuz the judge felt sorry for the Ballerina. 😭😭😭
That is exactly how I’m reading him also.
It's Florida. I think she is required to serve 85% of the sentence
@@snapmalloy5556 I live in Oregon and people get out much earlier after serving half of their sentences. It's unbelievable.
@StephanieFlower-d9j Yes, I think there are a lot states that allow for parole after 50% of the sentence is served. It's crazy
She wanted to raise her daughter without Doug in the picture. Now, she will miss her daughter's entire childhood, adolescence, and she'll be in her 20's when her mom gets out. What a total waste. As a mother myself, I can't imagine creating such a tortured reality for myself and my own daughter.
I only see Anger in her face. She killed a person because she could get way. That horrible actions. She is a dangerous woman.
She set her husband up. Calculated b
The happiest people are single women and married men 🎉
So sorry for Doug's oldest daughter as well as the little one. Doug didn't even know his daughter with Ashley was born. There are so many moms and children that would love to have the father involved in their lives. They weren't a good match but he didn't need to die and now both daughters with two different mothers are without a either parent.
STONE COLD
Pouting for herself. Jury didn’t buy her awful act.
She acts like a zombie
Prison doesn’t age well on her
This Judge needs to just give the Sentence… this is a dangerous woman and needs to be removed from society.
Chick is a narcissist to the fullest! Sitting there still playing victim! 🤢🤮 All that poor man wanted was to his daughter! She is pure evil! She was not remorseful! This was her plan! 😡 Those poor girls! 💔💔 Lost a great Dad! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I thought victims could say just about anything they wanted to the defendant as long as it wasnt too obscene?? Ive watched so many where victims and family screamed at the top of their lungs, some saying they hated the defendant and hoped they suffer horribly in prison, some trash talked the defendant. There have even been some who trash talked the courts, and police if they felt like they let them down ordid something wrong. I have never ever heard a judge stop them and basically tell them to stop saying mean things about her??? Im so confused can anyone give actual law or reasoning why?
u obviously don’t listen because the judge used guidelines for death penalty sentences in this case that’s why …. did u even watch or listen to the whole sentencing ? obviously not
@beautifuldisaster139 yes I listened and even worked in law enforcement and have a degree I. Criminals al justice (from years ago but....) I case YOU haven't listened or paid attention, this was NEVER a death penalty case ever! So how explain WHY? Even the prosecutor during one of the victims statements that was cut off by the judge reiterated the same. Before you criticize,please know what you are saying thank you. Now back to my original question.....why did the judge follow death penalty guidelines in a nonceath penalty case?? I have NEVER seen that before????????????
@ omg the JUDGE USED THE SAME GUIDELINES AS A DEATH PENALTY SENTENCING so that’s why .. we know it wasn’t a death penalty sentence but for the 3x i’ll say it again THE JUDGE for whatever stupid reason he chose to use those guidelines.. & if u had listen the JUDGE said this in very beginning of the sentencing that even tho it wasn’t a death penalty case or sentence he was using those guidelines
@ because he wanted to he chose to use them that’s why 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
@ & because the judge is a 🤡 too
I’m guessing the only thought she has is her daughter. Lost a mother for years.
Lost both parents
Right so sad! 😢 How old is the daughter now?!
No remorse cold as stone
Angry bc she’s been find guilty and the jury didn’t buy her bs
She thought she got this in her hands
Evil !
She won’t survive prison…Prisoners will teach her a lesson
I disagree, women are different to men and I think she will weaponize her manipulation skills to navigate through prison. She is also pretty so I'm sure she could use that to her advantage with the lesbian inmates. Women, even small meek looking ladies can be extremely resourceful when need be and I don't doubt for one minute she will be doing just fine....UNFORTUNATELY.
She should of gotten life in prison she is a black widow
She truly was beautiful before she did this horrible crime of murder…She had a beautiful life and threw it all way….
She looks like she is on a sedative.
It's ALL an act for sympathy
@jmgood2870 i believe that.
So rude she doesn't even look at judge just sits there zombie
When did Jim Gaffigan become a judge 🤣
Between her and Sarah Boone the level of narcissism is ridiculous!
Sarah Boone was honest, she just wasn't likeable. What happened with her was because of her alcohol addiction. Still an accident. This brod cold bloodedly planned unalived her husband!!!
@@holliepotter7071 she was NOT honest. are you kidding me?
Unfortunate. Selfishness gone too far. No emotion.
She must have been smiling at the judge a lot. Men are so easily manipulated
LMAO she's so guilty, good for her!
I didn't know the judge also didn't think it was self defense, I don't believe it was self defense
Honestly, glad it looks like she’s losing sleep. What a horrific person.
Eva's impact statement was very telling, before she was objected to that is😕 I hope Eva gets to tell her side, the truth about Ashley🤨🙏🏼
She had no emotion during the verdict reading or sentencing. Kinda freaked me out. Especially considering the shaking and crying while she was on the stand.
The judge clearly accepted / agreed with the reasons given for some categories of Downward Departure but then just said this is not a Downward Departure case - so why waste time listening to all the defence stuff if he had already made his mind up?
Agree
The judge must listen to everything.
She could not even look at the judge she was only thinking about herself and the amount of time she might have
Lucky she only got 20 years.
She only looks at him when he talks about believing her being remorseful…. As if “you believe me?”
This judge is way too long winded and he comes off as insecure-- contrast all his bloviating before sentencing with Sarah Boones judge who did NO Mansplaining whatsoever and simply pronounced sentence-- which judge commands more respect??
I prefer Boones. No need for all the talk. They know what they did to warrant the sentence.
Both Judges. They both took the trials seriously they just have different styles of communication. One bloviates the other concentrates lol
I didn't realize there was a judge contest.
@@chrissyellem7397😅
She fells no remorse. Her face shows it all. She is right where she should be.
Her frequent eye blinking is annoying!!!!!
The defense was a joke what the judge allowed him to say against him.
She killed her husband and we all know that. She should be in jail for life. This is very poor judging.
