Will The Jury Believe Ashley Benefield's Battered Spouse Defense?

  • Resumen

  • In the latest episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer delves into the Black Swan murder trial of Ashley Benefield, who faces charges for allegedly killing her husband, Doug Benefield. The case is complex, involving a contentious custody battle and conflicting stories about their relationship status. Coffindaffer highlights the challenges the defense faces, particularly the lack of physical evidence supporting claims of domestic abuse and the difficulty of using the battered spouse defense. She also discusses potential motives, such as Ashley's desire for full custody of their child, and the possibility of digital evidence playing a crucial role in the trial. The conversation touches on the judge's skepticism about Ashley's abuse claims and the potential impact of testimony from their young child. Both Brueski and Coffindaffer express skepticism about Ashley's defense and anticipate significant revelations during the trial.
