12/3/24~ Sentencing Hearing
Post -Trial Motions Analysis & Discussion~ Defense has made a Motion for New Trial based upon prosecutorial misconduct (specifically during State's Closing & Rebuttal) and juror misconduct, including Juror 15 failing to disclose and concealing that she had been both a perpetrator and victim of DV. Defense asks for juror interviews.
After 6.5 hours deliberation a Manatee County jury of 5 women and 1 man found Ashley Benefield guilty of manslaughter in the death of her estranged husband Doug Benefield. They jury rejected Ashley's claim of self-defense as a victim of DV and under Florida's stand your ground law.
Ashley Benefield was 24 when she met and married Doug Benefield, 54, within 13 days. A little over 4 years and a child later, on 9/27/20, Ashley would be charged in the 2nd degree m*rder of her by-then estranged husband. Ashley is claiming self-defense, battered spouse syndrome and protection under Florida's stand your ground law.
