Ashley Benefield Trial - The Story So Far

[@casparcoaster1936]

Marrying him after two week courtship suggest shes not afraid of his money

Lol. That’s fair. I mean he was 30 yrs her senior and allegedly wealthy. Normally women only marry men that much older for money.

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
