This man was married for years upon years!! With a daughter. Ashley is a gold digger!! No stand your ground about it!! Shes nuts.
Clearly, this is not a stand your ground case, but tried to create a false atmosphere of aggressive behavior to committ murder. I sure hope the jury sees it.
He was a dear friend of mine and was a beautiful human. I set him up on a date w my sister, he was that kind! It enrages me when this psychopath states she was scared. She tried for months to incriminate him and when she lost the case, she murdered him. He never spoke poorly of Ashley but was leery of her. Shame on that evil beast! She deserves life in prison!
I found him to be extremely attractive physically, with kind eyes…..it baffles me he would lean toward a freaky witch like her…..sorry for your loss🙏
@@IzzyMariel Ashley? if not you’re related to that Criminal right bwahaha
@@hersheyssmith2104 Eva? if not, you're related to the psycho right bwahaha 🙄
@@skyeblu1722Are you serious? 😮
Flying monkey and enabler … I’ve seen you post this on other pages…
U got this Daughter!! U go girl!! What a brave & loving daughter you are to fight her to get justice for your Dad!!
Abusive dad.
@@timb7775Are you related to Ashley 😂. She's going to prison...
@@starbaby1754She's going to Prison hopefully for Life. Maybe that will wipe her contempt look off her face.
@@jmgood2870 I hope she does get sentenced to life in prison. She can do her pirouettes in her cell 24/7 for all I care!
@@jmgood2870she’s getting off of this, guaranteed.
She was aggressive trying to set him up so she could take the baby and leave. She was a real nightmare.
Stand your ground doesn't work for everybody.
Narcissistic abuse causes the victim to experience ‘reactive abuse’ which is what it seems Doug displayed…..the narc twists, turns & gaslights their way while all the while revictimizing the victim….I truly hope & pray they can see thru this toxic woman’s lies
Yes, I wholeheartedly agree with you…
There is a lot of evidence that the accused has a personality disorder. Results of psychological testing on her in the custody case were about to be entered into evidence. But before that could happen, she killed him. Now, will that report be allowed in?
We know Ashley (and her mother) from the state they allegedly were moving to. Ashley has been a manipulative nasty narcissistic entitled b*tch her life. We all hope Justice is served and Ashley receives a long prison sentence.
This guy groomed a virtual child and punched his dog in the face and shot a ceiling with everybody in the room and abused his ex wife and replaced her a few months after she died. There’s no way in hell she is guilty beyond reasonable doubt.
@@astandwithukraine3510GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY. You were 24 years old, not a child Ashley!!! You were an ADULT at 18. You arei a Felon and will be given an inmate number once convicted in October 2023. We will celebrate you're prison life. RIP Doug Benefield. Love and light to Eva and Tommie.
I feel horrible for the daughter.Unimaginable🙏💜Praying for her healing
The defendant, that woman, executed the victim, in order to have the sole custody of their daughter.😢
I know as soon as I looked at her SHES GUILTY FOR FIRST DEGREE MURDER! SHE'S SICK!
I hope they allow the victim's Daughter testify on the stand; she murdered her husband and got to live freely since that day; Lock her Up!
Cant WAIT to see that diva 👩🏻🎤 get locked 🔒 up at sentencing
Amen! Doug was a beautiful human and friend! I’m beside myself that she’s been free since this happened! She’s a self consumed, histrionic , evil woman!
@@taraA1976 SHE is one putting out there all those allegations against him
And i see all these people on here just buying it
@@lovepet4565 it’s just sad. I knew him personally and sadly knew of her. He was so kind and classy and even after all Ashley’s false allegations, he forgave her. The dog allegation is another fallacy - he jumped on his lap and Doug admitted he reacted and pushed the dog. We’ve all had moments where we have reacted and we have the peanut gallery with no clue yapping! This is why I loathe the internet. A bunch of “ Karen’s” pontificating! I knew Doug and he had zero reason to be anyone but himself to me and I’ll adamantly stick up for him. He was a beautiful man!
@@taraA1976 i will add Doug to my prayer tonight
Im sorry he ever met or married her
I don’t believe this murderer’s story. It’s very obvious this was a toxic relationship. They got married 2 weeks after meeting. But I 100% believe she was just as abusive as he was. She wanted his money, she wanted the kid to herself, made up all these bogus stories, and then decided she was just going to get rid of him.
Lock her up
Go eva! You called this bs from the word Go!! GET JUSTICE ⚖️ 🙏
Anyone who’s been through narcissistic abuse knows what’s up I don’t even have to say anything else
It seems like she planned it if she asked her mom to take her child somewhere when its close to night time. Maybe her mom knew about the plot, maybe not.
Her mother is in on this scheme for money. They have used and scammed many good people for $$$
Her mom moved to be near her. I thi k she was in on it too. . They were determined to keep him away from the child.
Violence coming with frustration.... hmmm
Just the timing of the shooting and the ruling from the judge on the accusations tells me to send it to a jury period.
We must Stand up for Good men!! This is absurd!!! She stole all his money on purpose. Shes a Typical brat.
A good man punching walls and dogs and following his wife around? Yeah he sounds like a catch.
@@fernandaolivares7926 Hi Ashley👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 You can't stop LYING Ashley can you?. Funny how no attachments of proof were provided to Judge Whyte in SYG hearing. He asked if there were attachments and they said no. Prison bound Ashley!
Yeah, she's not going to get immunity!
The judge said no proof was ATTACHED to the pleading. Get it right.( The custody judge). Maybe she should have attached police reports, etc. Gun shots in kitchen ceiling , holes in the walls,the dog, etc.
For me it’s hard because someone who shoots a gun in an argument no matter where the bullet hits is scary and then another time a loaded gun is thrown … that’s serious to me
That could just be heresay as well.
Yeah if it’s true
4 shots, overkilled
Poor choice he made when marrying a stranger
Stand your ground is a stupid and dangerous law. We already have self defense laws on the books. Stand Your Ground just say to people you don’t have the responsibility to retreat or surrender even when doing so can save a life and doesn’t cost you yours.
I remember this case/ story. At the end she took all his money and wanted that kid only for herself. I think she should be in jail.
How can she claim stand your ground when she has never given a report to the police and she will not even testify and explain what happened.this is not stand your ground. The woman is crazy. The way i see it she is lying and she knows it. 2:17
Lots of abused partners will be deferential to their partners face whilst trying to get away. It’s self preservation.
She sounds like the abusive one. She made up a bunch of garbage. Even the judge agreed.
I don’t know you can bond out on a murder
White, woman, political ties, making herself an abuse victim, & money
@@jmgood2870 stop lol
Florida always in the news for some odd stuff.
She's a lair...I do not believe her at all!!!
The Stand Your Ground law has recently been exposed as fragile and dangerous; including the woman who shot her annoyed neighbor through her door.
It’s not fragile. It’s clear, but you can’t just shoot anybody and claim it’s SYG. The case you are talking about, the victim was the aggressor. You might want to listen to the facts. Otherwise please do humanity a favor and don’t serve on a jury.
@Josy084 the victim wasn't the aggressor in that case thats why the women got arrested
How is the cousin explaining the story not hearsay?
The cousin giving his account of what he knew and what he was told by Doug is not hearsay. It would be if the information he’s giving has come through a third party - that’s not the case so it’s not hearsay.
I'm confused...he bashes his dog but he also had domestic abuse with his former wife as well?
@Mandy3810 I'm deeply disturbed by his history of violence. He was violent to his ex-wive, his dog and his 2nd wife. I hope they will listen to Ashley. Once a violent husband, always a violent husband.
I hope they let her go ❤!!!
So SHE said
Yes and she died from unknown heart issue undiagnosed.. toxicity report should have been done I hope
What was he doing at her home if he wasn’t there to be aggressive??? Entirely a tragedy all the way around for both of the daughter’s left behind.
They were moving together.
Or better yet- she was pretending she was to lure him as she lost another court case and exhausted all avenues and her mom conveniently took their daughter on a walk at 8 pm and she murdered him
so being at her home means he wasn't there to talk etc or anything. He's automatically there to be aggressive. So what even if true. Call the police, don't murder someone.
@@60toodles considering they we’re supposed to be no longer together and has been known to watch her, according to people in the neighborhood, which is in the file, I would not think he’d be there to visit. I’m currently watching the trial & reading transcripts from earlier cases to try to figure out what exactly was going on.
She invited him to move with her she's a narcissistic arrogant creature evil disgusting
What a beautiful young lady. X🙏🙏🙏 justice is served for your Father. MURDER
She needs to be locked up for life! She is a text book psychopath/narc who set this lovely, handsome man, (a recent widow) up and used him with total malicious intent….planning her attack all along! ………..
What he saw in this freaky she devil
is beyond me, but I do believe, as narcissists do, that she sensed his weakness and vulnerability and pocketbook, and took advantage!
Weakness and vulnerability 😂 Older men almost always WANT younger women. Don’t fool yourself. What he saw in her was being in her 20’s. He’s every bit as toxic as she is.
Three days before family court and she's trying to keep their child away from him never to see him again..she murdered him. What kind of human being did that to that child? She was out to destroy that man. If she could not destroy him one way she was going to destroy him another and she did. One of the oldest cases in the book... EXCELLENT CASE FOR MURDER! I hope she's buried under the jail. Possibly she make the come Queen of the prison as well as fines for a wealthy man to take care of her. After all she search and found the Rich one that she killed. A sociopath that would be precisely what she is.
Afraid she was going to lose in court.
She looks so Evil!!!
Watching from 🇬🇧
Me too 🇬🇧
Me 3😂
Murderer ...it wasnt stand your ground .she straight out killed another human being 😢😢😢
Aahley is the source of all those accusations against him
His own family and daughter have not confirmed any of those things
he admitted doing those things. it's in court records.
“His own family and daughter have not confirmed any of those things.” Ya don’t say? Usually, abusive douche bags get to be abusive douche bags because everyone around them enables their behavior. He was a psycho.
@@FredD.Krueger you knew him?
@@FredD.KruegerHI Ashley with the wonky eyelid. You are a looser.
@tabithafrost7142 do you know this man? I bet not!
She didn't want to share the Baby with her Husband. Murder
DNA test needed!
@@josimpson7999D.Beattys child, her fiance. Ashley was a manager for LLC FromFifth, Sarasota...Google it
We don't have. a stand your ground law in Canada. cannot use excessive force to defend yourself or property..
she has made all these making false accusations and now she has no where to turn to...now her and lawyer claiming stand your ground..but why??..I don't know how she could use that excuse...C'mon man
"Aggressively pushed the dog" he was TOLD. So the cousin wasnt even there? Objection, Hearsay.
How could you punch an animal in the face? Your dog is an extension of her family
I think he was trying to hurt her by hurting the dog
The story was told by the husband to the Cousin. How is it not be biased
@@LightLight-nf5tl
I've had dogs jump up on me and there claws hurt, I never got angry at the dog for doing it or pushed the dog away, I'd grab there paws so they aren't digging into me. That story seems very fishy and screams dog abuser. 🐕
@@timb7775 I had to take my seven week old puppy in to get her shots and she kept on jumping up on the tack and attack need her in the head and she fell backwards and hit her head hard
@@jmgood2870 wow
I know nothing of this case, but hearing the cousin testify that he "aggressively pushed" the dog because he was "frustrated" at the dog - is all I need to hear. Oftentimes relatives defend their violent loved one because he's not the only violent one in the family. Violence is a generational thing.
I get what you're saying. To me it sounded like he was sugarcoating it and trying to make it sound less aggressive than it was. Just my opinion from the way he was talking.
I read he punched the dog in the face 😡
Punched the dog and knocked him out cold, it’s more than pushing. He was a violent man
@@astandwithukraine3510he didn’t punch the dog. That’s what she said. Listen to the judge. Are you not listening?
@@kathismith7441as the judge there? No.
Was the cousin there? No.
Did he tell his cousin he was punching walls and tailing his wife's car? No.
In stand your ground states, They MUST abide, literally follow the laws the way they ARE WRITTEN individual to EACH state.
Stand your ground = ASSAULT YOUR NEIGHBOR.
Stand Your Ground- kill your husband because you want a child support check because you were a failure at ballet and feel you're too good to work😏
she is so guilty of premeditating his murder.. manipulative, cold & calculated. words, even if threats.. if there is no physical imminent threat to your life, it is NOT self defense .. stand your ground BS!
Shes even has that typical b*tch contempt face. I hope she rots in prison
Wonder what was up with the suspicions of poisen
A DNA test should be done on ‘their?’ child. I’d wager he’s not the father of that little girl.
wtf. do you think she would fight for sole custody if he was not the father? Use your brain.
I bet he is D.Beatty's child...her former Navy/pilot fiance just like daddy and Doug. Look up the LLC FromFifth (Sarasota) that D.Beatty started for Ashley for her ballet business. She is listed as the manager. How could Ashley be moving to Bowie, MD with Doug if she was engaged to D.Beatty and starting a ballet business??? Sounds like a murder setup to me.🤔
😮 The ads?!
I don’t believe this woman. Where is the proof, the facts and receipts? This world will never believe such accusations solely on someone’s words. Gotta do better at documenting, recording, videotaping, etc. Justice for Doug.
Exactly, video or it didn't happen. Let's see the video or her shooting the guy. Oh wait....
Well there's proof of domestic abuse with his former ex wife isn't there? Or did I read that incorrectly?
@@jmgood2870 oh my gosh well been seeing so many different reports about the dog and the previous domestic abuse will trust in the jury who have seen everything to get it right whatever 🤞
@@jmgood2870Being rendered unconscious doesn't normally end in death.
Animal abuse 😢
Travis Rudolph had to stay in jail; why doesn't she?
he didn't. he bonded out too.
@@IzzyMariel I love him
I don’t care who you are - nobody but The One who gave life , who continues to give it☀️ is the only one who can take it. Humans that think they can kill another are evil 👿 self defense, fine. But no this lady deserves jail, and hell for many lifetimes to come. Poor daughter lost both her parents. And baby daughter no father. 😔
Hard case to sort out, they were both abusive to each other, extremely toxic relationship. I don't think there's enough strong evidence to disprove her stand your ground claim.
I don’t believe so either.
And oddly enough she is out on bail
The jury will likely see through her bullsh*t. Time to put this in-front of a jury & let them decide. This is another manipulative Amber Heard who actually ended up killing her spouse. Her story will fall apart.
Reminds me of the courtney case coming up.
I was secretly hoping Doug’s Daughter would have said “I’m coming for my sibling in court, try to fight me like you did my dad and you’ll be the one 6 feet under!”
How is that not hearsay what cousin told him?
Stand your ground is bullshite. It get missed used.
I'm definitely biased as soon as I heard that a dog had been knocked out, im out.
did she marry him because she thought he had money? Had a baby for child support and then tired of him and wanted baby all to herself .
Too many guns in the US and too few people who can use them wisely.
Agreed. But that’s a whole other topic!
She was on the ground and then they're standing facing each other. Sounds like a fight.
If she shot him in the back she has nothing to stand on
I LOVE STAND YOUR GROUND...but as we have seen...bad people try n ruin everything.
Wendy Adelson
Comes to mind
It's obvious she was involved in the conspiracy but its all circumstantial at this point so its a hard one to get a conviction, unless some other evidence comes out in the meantime, i'd say
There is no state that is against defending yourself. According to fact since stand your ground law took effect far more people got murdered and far more people got away with murders. We have monsters who would shoot someone because they lost argument. We have guy who shoot someone because popcorn was thrown at him he shot the person and got away with murder. Another wife in Florida shot her husband over despite in bbq and she got away with murder. And many more. But you will not get away with it if you’re poor, black.
NY doesn't have stand your ground.
Go race bait somewhere else
Oh, she's good liar.
He punched a freaking dog knocking him unconscious!!! Wtf is wrong with people that hit animals. It’s sickening!!
If that’s even true.
@@oxcoletteExactly… 🤔
Lori Vallow killed Charles the same way
Lori's brother actually shot Charles, Lori planned it
Lori's husband, brother, daughter and son have all died brutally so only she is left. And of course that dopey new husband of hers.
that was 12hours ago
The funniest part of her defense is that it was his ground, too! This was a domestic issue. Stand your ground is against unknown intruders. Of course, Florida could never write a law with clarity. All they care about is letting people have guns.
How dare Florida defend our constitutional rights! Bastards!
Cry
Thar is nor true you can stand your ground against anyone! It just doesn't work for her bc of the evidence he was not attacking her!
@@CaneyeStroKyurmeetAshley you are a FAILURE and was not good enough for ballet. Sara hates you.
Otherwise only criminals would always just have the guns . Disarm the people and talke over!
Killed with his own gun. Only in Florida 😁🤷🏻♀️
Who else is here because they thought it was Ashley Banfield 😂
*Florida is one of the states that HAS
I don't Believe Her 😢 💔 ⚖️
The entire marriage seems like she had a plan , 2wks & married, got him to start & finance a biz ,she packed up & ran to her mom's temporarily then stayed got engaged to someone else while married to Doug ,she tried turning daughter against father claiming her mom was poisoned, then wants to get bacl with him when custody becomes a issue ( she was being followed by a investigater ) then she murders him claiming abuse . Bottom line she got her mark & her plan didn't work so she found another way to get his money for herself & daughter .
OMG. The daughter's strength is awe-inspiring. What a beautiful, brave girl. Plus, I must ask all girls to note her beautiful boldly no-makeup (or natural look). Awe-inspiring.
All girls should note they beautiful no matter if they choose makeup or not. Beauty is not the slightest bit important and is not given to every child born 🙄
i thought this was about ashleigh banfield
ALL OF THESE WANNABE VIOLENCE CRAP, IS ALL A LIE.. OR HEARSAY...
I too had a good dog a shepherd and i had to push him too. Doesnt mean, i was violent towards my dog.
She has his bad behaviour recorded!
Go lisuen to the family court judges statement
Hmm 🤔 stand u ground 💓😇🐢💜💜
He knocks out a dog.... he shoots a gun in his house as a scare tactic.... among a few other things. I just do not understand why she was not protected and not given full custody. The more an abuser sees he/she can get one over on judges and police, the more they will abuse the wife/husband over time. This poor lady probably just cracked. I feel bad for her and her family. They are the victims here. She should not be prosecuted. If you ever live through years of abuse, you cannot think straight. It is just a struggle to make it through every day. IF you CANNOT GET JUDGES AND POLICE to help you, and you are going crazy with fear and being controlled, anyone could fall into the thought that "There is only one way out." No one in their right mind would just murder their husband for fun. Come on. Study what effect abuse has on people. I hope the judge sees through all of this.
Ohh because maybe all her claims were not real.
The reporter, Chanley Painter, is excellent. She would be on a national network if she had gone to Ivy League colleges.
