A mental health counselor took the stand on Wednesday afternoon and discussed the sessions he had with ballerina mom Ashley Benefield and her husband, Doug Benefield, before she fatally shot him. During the first session, the counselor said the couple wanted to work things out, but Ashley started to act differently once she separated from Doug. She also allegedly let out frustrations about how long the separation process was taking.

In September 2020, Ashley Benefield ran to a neighbor's house in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, and stated she had just shot her husband. Douglas Benefield had several gunshot wounds to his leg, arm, and chest area. Ashley Benefield claims she shot him in self-defense after months of alleged abuse. She was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. Ashley Benefield made bail and has been living with family and her daughter since the crime.

Shame on the defense lawyer! I am so glad the judge showed his control over this trial and his professionalism.

Low, cheap shots from the unprofessional defence. Kudos to the judge for halting proceedings to call him out.

The judge is great. Very professional. Respectful to everyone else in the courtroom and demands the same in return.

This witness was glaringly obvious biased towards the defense/defendant. His big smile when the defense attorney started cross was so 🤢🤮

Woah, did he receive a whooping! 😂 Go Judge.

6:32 this is what the Judge was furious about. The snide comment from the defence lawyer “oh you have no idea”. Inferring the Judge is doing something wrong.
