Prosecutors in the ballerina murder trial filed a motion to compel a discovery request regarding evidence of a witness’s relationship with the defendant, Ashley Benefield, which transitioned from professional to personal after the defendant was no longer the witness’s client. Barbara Russell then took the stand to introduce herself as a witness in this case as Benefield stayed in her home.
Ashley Benefield claims she shot her husband, Doug Benefield, in self-defense after he attacked her. Leading up to Doug’s death, the marriage was filled with disorder as Ashley claimed her husband was abusive and tried to poison her. The former dancer faces a second-degree murder chase in Doug’s death as she pushes the stand-your-ground narrative.
