    marrying someone after 13 days is dumb. especially with a 30-year age difference.
  • That was disgusting. The defence lawyer is disgustingly disgraceful. I hope that shes found guilty as she is, lock her up for good
  • @michaelorevi
    Two sociopaths meet and marry after 14 days, that could go wrong!!
  • @amber13000
    Isn't he still under his subpoena and isn't allowed to speak about his testimony or watch anything about the trial? If so, he shouldn't be giving this interview.
  • Did I hear right? They were married 13 days after their first meeting? 😮😮😮
  • @PH_1964
    Who meets and marries in 13 days? 🤔
  • I believe she is guilty. But I’m just trying to figure out the psychology of Ashley. Did she marry him solely for money? If so why did she initially want this ballet company then abandon so fast? Why was she so anxious to have a baby by him at same time then just leave? Was she hoping for child support? If so why didn’t she involve him in the birth? Why did it seem like she just wanted him completely out of her life? What was her gain?
  • @Jewels-B
    Can’t stand the defense attorney. And he set this guy up. I did not take that statement that way at all.
  • @300sl5
    He punched the dog unconscious. He threatened to shoot himself in front of her and blackmailed her that way. What kind of psychopath /axhole does this ? He abused her. Self-defense! Not guilty.
  • @Juke582
    He likely regrets that comment about her marrying wrong benefield as we know what that meant! It’s pretty awkward and forward but it’s his generation. Defense Lawyer didn’t need to use that to discredit the witness! Highly unprofessional!
  • Vinnie I thought a person was considered innocent until proven otherwise how can the cousin talk about it when the case is in court
  • @Estherrr90
    The only creep in this courtroom is her defence laywer. He has angry issues and the looks on his face sometimes actually scare me. Also the defendant is guilty imo.
  • @lmb4876
    Her mother should have warned her; " Hey, we graduated from high school together, ain't he too mature for you?"
