Ashley Benefield Trial - The Story So Far

[@CaseyRhyneXoXo]

Sharing custody is not that bad lady. Her mom would not have left her alone with him if her abuse allegations had any merit. She won't be raising her daughter while she's in jail for murder.

[@googleuser2480]

Yes it is. Plenty of cases of shared custody going wrong. With that said, her personality type is why it goes wrong. 💀

[@SydMountaineer]

I agree.

Yeah I had issue with that as well. Also , why would she run to the neighbors when the threat was neutralized?? Rather than calling 911 herself. It makes it seem as though she just didn’t want to have to call 911 herself and have to explain everything.

Thing is when your in that situation you don’t tell people you are ashamed you allowed yourself to be treated so badly they always are sorry and say the usual it won’t happen again, but it’s the mental abuse that’s insidious gets a person to become a shell and scared. I don’t know so far I am believing her but I shall keep open mind as to what evidence comes out. In my case people close knew something wasn’t right but when your in the eye of the storm you can’t see it.

[@tyreseforren6721]

Theirs a lot of evidence that she was telling the truth

[@__j___]

I think he may have had a narcissist personality and I think she may have one as well... I think there may have been a lot that happened behind closed doors that could point blame to both of them in terms of abuse. Maybe they both triggered each other or knew how to trigger each other and weaponized that to push the narrative that the other is crazy/uncontrolled/rage-filled/etc- its a typical narcissistic way of fighting/being defensive. Whether he or she were pushed to their limit, something bad was going on behind closed doors that only the two of them know the truth of... the fact that she is hesitant to speak about what happened really adds to her looking guilty imo
