I think it’s disgusting that the child was allowed to protest like that. A small child shouldn’t be involved in that, shame on the grandmother for allowing that.
Right! That shows that manipulation will continue through that innocent granddaughter. I hope that someone else in Doug’s family will keep the custody of this innocent child. Still, how can government didn’t step up for this little child and discipline the grandma?
Funny how she can go into detail when she is telling her side of what occured but when she is questioned, she doesn't remember. Bringing the child to the court house is a low blow.
The fact that she sent her mom and daughter to the playground while she was left alone w him tells me everything I need to know! If she was so afraid of him she wouldn’t have done that… she had it all planned out so she could have full custody of their daughter. Evil woman. Glad she didn’t get away with it.
@AngelT320 men are very vulnerable to remarrying the wrong people directly after divorce and death. It's like they just want a woman around again, but it has to be the right one.
@@HolisticManifesting Nah, he was toxic too. He admitted to punching the dog and he remarried quickly after his wife's death. He even assures his daughter that he wouldn't remarry and suddenly brings in another woman. He was also much older. The guy was a red flag. Unfortunately, his new wife was an even larger red flag. They were both dysfunctional. I just feel sorry for the kids in all this.
- He was 54 years old and she was 24 - She was only 9 years older than his daughter - Wife was dead less than a year and his daughter needed him - He married someone after he's known them for 13 days because she was hot and young - looks like she attempted to get away a few times and he 'desperately ' tried to get her back - looks like he kind of prioritized this young girl over his daughter - Fired a damn gun inside the house over an argument As a 54 year old, 'experienced', Christian man, he should have known better.
She is the reason why so many REAL DV victims aren't believed. Yes, she totally set him up. But I don't understand why the justice system didn't charge her for filing false claims against him. Even if he didn't want to. She was proven wrong time and time again in court but she wasn't held responsible for each false allegation.
My daughter's law firm does a lot of higher end divorce and there are so many false domestic violence claims in custody. It should be a crime because it uses so many resources for real victims.
Then you weren't paying attention. The man punched a dog so hard it passed out because it jumped on him. He shot a gun in the house to stop her from talking. It's not the same.
She had this planned from day one. Couple of questions first: 1) Where did the new ring guy or 'fiancé' disappear to? 2) What was waiting in Maryland? Now, to my red flags (other than the obvious age difference, ballet stuff, kid, etc.): 1) The letter. It was obviously an attempt to lay the foundation for an alibi. How many letters has a woman her age even written in her lifetime? How many times does she repeat the same thing over again in the letter. Hand delivered, too. 2) Luring him to Florida. This was likely because of the gun laws in Florida and their 'stand your ground' and 'castle doctrine' gun laws which are more favorable to the homeowner or gun holder than in many states. And he would be considered an 'intruder'. 3) Mom taking the kid to the park during attack. Just a bit too convenient. 4) Money. EDIT: He led her on to believe he had more money than he really did and once she realized this, it was plan B.
Most of it is probably true but the guy was not exactly stable... shooting in the house, punching the poor dog is just crazy. Also he was definitely infatuated with her because any man would take a hint and RUN after the girl keeps pulling shenanigans to frame him. He didn't...because he was completely infatuated with her. It happens to people around midlife, they ignore red flags trying to catch the last chance for happiness that becomes their obsession.
I do not understand Doug. He had a daughter who just lost a mother and left her to go to another state to be with his other daughter whose mother accused him of SA her. Before that, she accused him of violence, attempted m*rder and abuse. He married her although she was less than half his age, secretly, He set up a business for her with all his savings. I am sorry I feel whatever he did was to satisfy his desire for his young wife (who obviously has mental health issues) and that led to him losing it. Really mad. All the red flags were there. Eva, who was a teen when he remarried seem wiser than Doug,
Young wives almost always cause them lots of trouble, like what person wants to start a new family at his age. It's a fantasy men should let go of. Same fantasy as women have of a rich man coming to save them.
I agree with you! He was a mess, she was too naive... whoever thinks a 24yo woman is responsible for a 54yo men to lose his ways is crazy. These old rags are mostly craving for young girls because their youth and they are easy manipulating. He fired a gun inside the house because he wanted her to shut up. Really/ just close your eyes and imagine yourself in such situation. It is terrifying. Plus the ex wife's text... I would not convict her bases in reasonable doubt. He was violent and she might really acted in self defense
@@Nclk619 He was a loose cannon also and when they got together it was doubly toxic. Midlife crisis run amok and a gold digger isn't a responsible combination.
Unfortunately, Ashley’s mom has custody of her. Florida is not very good at letting extended family have access to children entangled in these situations. Look at the Dan Markel case, his parents, despite working on a new law still don’t have access to their grandchildren.
when you are pregnant everything smells bad, that is why she said the tea smelled like chemicals, when I was pregnant everything smelled horrible and made me throw up, the tea happened to be normal. she was obsessed and delusional.
Yes, normal smells felt like they were hitting me in the face, even when they were across the room. And her whole, "I'm healthy so I shouldn't have morning sickness," theory is ridiculous. My mom was healthy, a dietician and aerobics instructor, but had severe morning sickness with me and my sisters.
All the covert narcissistic classics: lovebombing, discard, hoovering, playing the victim/smear campaign… I recognise this kind of pattern (now… because I’ve been through it).
Exactly. If you'r genuinely upset, you don't gulp, cry and breakdown at the start and end of sentences. You have broken dialogue, unable to control when it comes out and there are actual tears! ha!
How convenient that her mother took their child for a stroll at that very moment... how perfectly convenient... 🙄 that poor little girl is going to be brought up by a narcissistic grandmother who is only going to brainwash her lies about her father and half-sister... unbelievable...
@welshwitch2126 exactly. It broke my heart to hear her speak of things she has absolutely no understanding of. 💔 It is absolutely disgusting to use a child like this 💔
@khunopie9159 Doug thought so too until she had put him to death. This is what comes off by going for what is on the outside. Utterly lacking in discernment!
I am not taking her side, but I am autistic and I can't even convey my shopping list and look someone in the eyes. So, your statement might be true for her, it is not categorically true in every circumstance.
A couple of good God fearing family oriented consertivatives, right? 😂 Carring guns, campaigning for Trump, punching dogs on the face and sending Bible verses to family members. What a dumpster fire those two were! The guy was clearly an abuser, but he met someone even more violent than him. After trying to get her way by lying and failing, she just shot the guy. I only feel sorry for the daughters.
@@anapatriciaperez24 Why? That was a good description of them. Conservatives: check. Trump supporters: check. Both did appear violent: check. She lied to get the child and failed: check. She shot him: check. Why would someone making accurate observations need mental help??
@@AnnaLee33 For myself, I was saying that Doug “may” have been mentally ill, but that Ashley being evil is not in question. I definitely agree she’s a narcissist, and unfortunately much more. Not all narcissists are delusional killers.
Those are my thoughts exactly. She is a narcissist and a killer, but he also had issues. What sort of would marry a woman that he's only known a few weeks and mostly by phone and sex pictures? He was also very unsafe with guns! As a gun owner, my guns are in my gun safe except for the self defense gun that us also I n a safe place and is never just laying around willy nilly.
@@AnnaLee33 You may be right. He may not be mentally ill, just a selfish narcissist. Because that’s EXACTLY the kind of person who gets INFATUATED with a much younger woman that pumps his ego, marries them after a short time, doesn’t include his daughter, and also all while he promised his GRIEVING daughter who specifically expressed that’s not what she needs, but does it any damn way.
She started salting the ground long before he ended up dead. Doug’s mistake was not seeing the forest for the trees as so many of us have done in the past…
Ashley and her Mom are making certain that Emerson will follow in both of their malignant victim narcissistic footsteps. That is their legacy. Such horrible women. As for Doug, he was delusional
Agree. That poor child has NO chance! Doug was misguided and vulnerable. It would have been much simpler if there wasn’t the baby involved….custody etc. He could have made a clean break.
@@MizzTH-G Those women would never let that happen hence why she talked him into reversing his vasectomy because when the money ran out they needed leverage and an heir for whatever else they could drain him of.
Any 54 year old should be honest with themselves and ask why would a 24 year old be interested in him. Women do like A BIT older men, not 30 years older.
The way she came in made me think she scouted the obituaries for a widower. He was lonely & she immediately got pregnant, took advantage of him and left him.
It is a real shame that women like Ashley use the fact there are abused women in the world as a weapon against good men. What is wrong with our society? Unbelievable.
What’s wrong with our society not to question this man’s choice to get married to a woman 30 years younger in only two weeks of meeting her? The man wanted a piece he couldn’t chew.
I believe in patterns. Shooting a gun, period, is traumatic to people who have never heard it or seen it and to do it in the house is crazy. Every time you see the hole, it’s a reminder. Then to supposedly know that he abused his ex wife. THEN, he insisted in following her to Maryland, knowing full well that she doesn’t want you around, like come on. He was forcing his will. Eva, you went on the back burner when Ashley came into the picture but you still want to defend a dad that lied to you. Saying he never yelled at her but he shot a gun in the house, be serious.
Yuuup. I don't get how everyone sees this man as an innocent angel in this story. Lots of bizarre behavior from him. Not excusing her actions either but they were both incredibly toxic to each other.
I hope Eva writes the most impactful statement about the loss of her dad and Ashley gets the maximum sentence. The wake of chaos Ashley left behind is worthy of it.
54 year old man marries someone not even a decade older than his teenage daughter (his daughter who had just lost her mother and whom he promised he would focus his time on), he admits to harming a defenseless animal, the incident of firing into the ceiling, and the text from his first wife… Ashley doesn’t seem right either but I think Eva is blinded to her father’s behaviour which was also very suspicious.
He married a young, beautiful woman and returned to her repeatedly even after she accused him of poisoning her and abusing their child. He made poor choices.
Just because she reported him to the police multiple times doesn’t make him dangerous, it makes her a lunatic. He wasn’t ever charged because the police investigated and found she was full of 💩.
She also alleged that he was a terrible father to his teen daughter and set CPS on him. All determined to be unfounded. She tied up the courts and community resources to suit her vindictive purposes.
IDK man...even if she's awful, which I don't deny, this guy was willing to shoot a gun to make her shut up and punch a freaking dog. I don't think it's unreasonable to be afraid of what that man might do in anger.
@@tinasharinna1012with money from where tho?! If she had the sort of ready money 30 treatments in the chamber would have cost, she'd have been able to start up the Ballet Company without Doug putting up the $100k he lost in the venture. No medical insurer in the world would cover such specialist treatment for poisoning that all medical tests say doesn't exist & 100% would not have wanted the liability for any future issues such a young baby might have from undergoing treatment proved as safe for adults but not tested for safety with young children, & it's doubtful any other parents would offer their child as a guinea pig to find out if it's safe, besides Ashley!!! Doug should have held that against her in court as putting their daughter in a position of possible harm, purely to feed her delusion
Hold on... According to Part 1, Ashley, Doug, and the mother-in-law packed their belongings in a U-Haul to leave for Baltimore. How is it during that time, Doug becomes intensely angry with Ashley that she feared for her life? If she was so afraid of him, why would her mother leave her side to go to the park that night? The mother is a conspirator, and the daughter made the execution.
Yea all that moving and traveling made no sense. She left him to be in FL, sort of gets back with him, then agrees to move to MD with him, but yet is afraid? She had made a (mostly) clean break from him but then is suddenly afraid of him after agreeing to move with him. If she was truly afraid, she wouldn't have agreed to go back after being in a safe place.
I just cannot understand how grown adults over the age of 40 who have kids go around marrying such young people who they’ve only known for such a short time, they do it out of lust and at a certain age you really should know better then that.
All that ballet money he could have left to Ava. For the therapy she is going to need. He was not being a good dad to Ava he let his other head do the thinking for him. Both were insane I'm sorry. Was she more insane? Yeah. But being a victim doesn't mean you weren't a horrible person.
@@karaDee2363 He just lost his wife to a heart attack and this beautiful woman was interested in him. That makes sense. Her side of it I do not understand other than marrying for money which is truly evil
Exactly. I believe the mother should be investigated, too! Didn't they say in part 1 that her mother was quick to take her daughters side and claim that Doug was being abusive and had them scared, yet in court, they made it look like the mother had no idea of what was going on. Also, she just happens to leave moments befo4e her daughter shot Doug. I'm sure the mother and daughter planned this out ahead of time.
Trigger warning:.... idk if Doug was abusive to the extent that she says, but I will say that an abuser does not have to hit you or be physical with you in order to make you fear for your life. I had a boyfriend at one time that would do everything but hit me or anything that would leave a mark on me and there were some nights where I definitely feared for my life. He would push me on to the bed, climb on top of me and put his fist in my face, he told me that his brother would be willing to help him hide a body if he ever needed, he lifted his bicycle which he kept in the living room and put a hole in the ceiling with the tire, he grabbed me by my arm (the one bruise he did leave) and put his first in my face. one time when I was getting out of the car he took my arm and put my wrist over the steering wheel like he was going to use it to brake my wrist, he spit in my face...Just to name a few. But I can tell you thinking back on those events, even as real and truthful as they are, there is very little chance I would be able to reenact it accurately for anyone. The fear doesn't allow it. There is no way I would be able to remember detail of how he was facing, where his hands were at each moment, etc or even what made him mad at the time. I never had a weapon to defend myself. I would just shut down or do what I had to in order to appease him to get through it until it was over. If I did have a weapon at that time, idk what I would have done in those moments of terror. So who knows if anyone would believe me after the fact if I did have the means to defend myself. A lot of people think, well if he was abusive then why didn't you just leave? Leaving is scary. I tried many times. Thats when he became the most scary actually. And on top of that, there are good moments like that video of them laughing while playing that game. There are good moments that make you think maybe things are going to change. But those good moments don't mean the abuse didn't happen. I also never told my mother even though I was living with her at the time. I didn't tell my friends either at the time either. I was too ashamed. I was embarrassed. After the relationship was over, the mutual friends (we were in college) we had that I did tell, they either didn't believe me or didn't care. Not telling people close to you, does not mean the abuse didn't happen. Not reporting it doesn't mean the abuse didn't happen.
@@tshiree2855 just ignore @jimwerther. I believe he is an insensitive, despicable person. Pertaining you, very elegant the way you responded to his comment. Take care.
@@ubidacosta3317 Does backstabbing a commenter make you feel virtuous? The lengths people will go for online approval is simply sad. Get a life, sweetheart.
Hey motive is so obvious because she never once filed for divorce! If she was so scared of him, why not file for divorce as soon as she left? Instead, he filed for divorce, and her immediate reaction was to reconcile because she wanted the little girl but more importantly, this conniving evil woman wanted his money!
Eva must have felt betrayed by her father. She put him on a pedestal as many young daughters do. I guess she was blinded by her narcissistic father. I say narcissist, because what man who had any sense of care and compassion would run off with a girl 30 years younger than him when his wife and mother of his grieving children had died only 9 months previous…after knowing her only 13 days?!
He admitted he shot a gun in the house with two teenagers. He admitted to punching his dog. He admitted to kicking his deceased wife. He married a woman after he promised his daughter he wouldn't. He ran away and married her in secret. He wasn't this sweet innocent, naive man. He had definite anger issues. She planned it, probably, but he wasn't mister nice guy, that is why it was not 2nd degree. Yes, she belongs in jail.
@newsongsung1147 who said he admitted to it tho? It's not official in court that he admitted to it. You people don't seem to care about fine details. I could just as easily say you admitted to being a lame in highschool.
Weird case. A man marrying a young woman shortly after meeting her for the first time and shortly after his first wifes death without telling his daughter doesn't seem quite sane to me. Also shooting a gun to stop an argument and punching his own dog shows that this man had a mental problem. Why would the woman quit her dream of a ballett school and leave her husband? There must be a reason for that. On the other hand: there is a possibility for her being a narcissist too. It's complicated. I hope both daughters will have a good life.
Uh, sorry. He admitted to shooting the gun. In the house. In anger. And was granted joint custody. If that had been a woman, that would have NEVER happened. I don’t know if she was being poisoned. But I believe she believed it. She was trying to protect her daughter, he should never have been granted unsupervised contact.
He has had some blow ups, but that's what happens when you bottle everything up being married to a manipulator. She didn't just make up the poisoning, but he also was molesting his infant daughter? This woman was sick and he was unfortunately attracted to the chaos. Some people are, it doesn't turn out well
@@Alexi-r4ga lot of people have been with manipulators but not everyone uses a gun. Don’t forget he beat his former wife at the night of their honeymoon. He was certainly not innocent. I think this was a very toxic relationship
So the gun was just laying around with a young child living in the home? If she had the weapon secured in a quick-open safe, she would have remembered that. For her to say she didn’t remember how the weapon was stored - that tells a story in itself. This woman and her mother, in addition to being premeditated murderers, are horribly irresponsible gun owners and terrible unsafe guardians of a very young child.
All these femme fatales are the same. Split personality, with a phony innocence that she turns on and off like a light switch. I know what happened. That man wanted shared custody and she didn't
That man wouldn't leave her alone! He was constantly trying to rekindle, control her and sleep with her, even though she was trying to get away from him. He was infatuated with her...
The fact she displayed and used her daughter in that manner at the courthouse tell you everything you need to know about this female 🤨 that is some pretty sick and twisted behaviour
I honestly thought she was lying about the abuse but then he abused his first wife, and he admits to it and hitting the dog. None of us can truly say there was no DV there only the 2 of them knows what happened and why.
That poor Doug was so vulnerable after his wife’s death. Ashley took FULL advantage of that and milked him dry. I feel for Eva too. She has suffered immensely. And that poor Emerson - God help her with a mother like Ashley. And I do believe grandma has had a hand in it too. Ashley is a complete lying, fake actress.
@@carolyounce5810 don’t! I hate cruelty to animals more than to people. I do think that Ashley was exaggerating him smacking the dog. Just to try to really slag him off. He did admit to smacking the dog but I doubt he punched him on the head and rendered him unconscious. Thank God Eva has the lovely hound now. I loved the footage of her walking on the beach with Sully and her uncle. I have smacked unruly dogs before when words have not worked but I’d never smack my cats.
Lol yeah "poor Doug" who went after young tail (30 years younger) and left his teenage daughter to go after and live in another state with the same woman thar accused him of SA his youngest daughter and accused him of poisoning them. What a great guy...
Any guy who puts a gun to his head when he's angry (both his ex wife via that old text message and Ashley stated this) is clearly unstable. And any woman who grossly exaggerates the truth and then believes it is also unstable. These two getting together was a recipe for disaster.
9:05 doug looks like a dweeb then has a midlife crisis less than ONE year closer to 6 months after elopes without the most important woman in his life. His child. He did leave Ava alone often as well to go visit his child bride. That's kinda what you get when you remarry 6 months after your wife dies. Poor Ava. Her dad and stepmom both insane.
As a victim of abuse from a young age, as well as in later relationships, nothing of her testimony sounded true, looked true, read true. Many in chats thought I was uncaring, but you when you hear and ‘see’ the ‘victim’ mirrored and nothing is ringing true, I cannot excuse what she did. I think what she did to Doug’s oldest daughter, and their relationship was reprehensible, and her estrangement of his younger daughter from him and her sister abusive. I don’t find Doug a particularly sympathetic victim, but he didn’t need to die.
That's how I felt. He didn't seem to be the greatest guy, but she just should have let him be part of his child's life like millions of other divorced couples do. She was selfish beyond belief--not even putting his name on the birth certificate???
My partner and I are both longtime gun owners. We have a gun safe. 25 years we’ve been together not once has anyone shot a gun in our house. Never not once. This is just wrong.
33:41 she spent two hours that morning testifying, but eyes are not red or swollen AT ALL from crying? Sorry, when my son was killed and I cried for hours, my eyes looked terrible all day.
I am sooo happy that she is getting jail time. I love the idea of accountability on her part for what happened in her life. She frustrated her husbands attempts to make a good relationship and then she blamed it on him.
Yessss! I agree with this comment 100% Keep in mind that the human brain doesn’t even finish developing until around 24 years old, so she was still a very young adult.
I think it’s disgusting that the child was allowed to protest like that.
A small child shouldn’t be involved in that, shame on the grandmother for allowing that.
The grandmother coached her and she said her lines like a well-trained parrot.
TG she has her sister though, if she’s being raised by those 2, she’s going to need her one day.😢
I think the grandmother had a lot to do with this.

She is the reason why so many REAL DV victims aren't believed. Yes, she totally set him up. But I don't understand why the justice system didn't charge her for filing false claims against him. Even if he didn't want to. She was proven wrong time and time again in court but she wasn't held responsible for each false allegation.

She had this planned from day one. Couple of questions first: 1) Where did the new ring guy or 'fiancé' disappear to? 2) What was waiting in Maryland? Now, to my red flags (other than the obvious age difference, ballet stuff, kid, etc.): 1) The letter. It was obviously an attempt to lay the foundation for an alibi. How many letters has a woman her age even written in her lifetime? How many times does she repeat the same thing over again in the letter. Hand delivered, too. 2) Luring him to Florida. This was likely because of the gun laws in Florida and their 'stand your ground' and 'castle doctrine' gun laws which are more favorable to the homeowner or gun holder than in many states. And he would be considered an 'intruder'. 3) Mom taking the kid to the park during attack. Just a bit too convenient. 4) Money. EDIT: He led her on to believe he had more money than he really did and once she realized this, it was plan B.
Evil
Most of it is probably true but the guy was not exactly stable... shooting in the house, punching the poor dog is just crazy. Also he was definitely infatuated with her because any man would take a hint and RUN after the girl keeps pulling shenanigans to frame him. He didn't...because he was completely infatuated with her. It happens to people around midlife, they ignore red flags trying to catch the last chance for happiness that becomes their obsession.
@@user-dc777 both were narcs. Narcs will do what they have to, inorder to get what they want.
Mom taking the kid out......... perfecto.
Ugly crying without a single tear. *eye roll so hard I just caught a damn migraine* 🙄😒
😂😂🤣
It was ugly. The facial expressions that is.
😅😅😂

Eye roll so hard that my optic nerve detached and my eyeballs fell out 👓
I do not understand Doug. He had a daughter who just lost a mother and left her to go to another state to be with his other daughter whose mother accused him of SA her. Before that, she accused him of violence, attempted m*rder and abuse. He married her although she was less than half his age, secretly, He set up a business for her with all his savings. I am sorry I feel whatever he did was to satisfy his desire for his young wife (who obviously has mental health issues) and that led to him losing it. Really mad. All the red flags were there. Eva, who was a teen when he remarried seem wiser than Doug,
All about a dancer's body and sex-happens all the time.
Exactly
Young wives almost always cause them lots of trouble, like what person wants to start a new family at his age. It's a fantasy men should let go of. Same fantasy as women have of a rich man coming to save them.
I agree with you! He was a mess, she was too naive... whoever thinks a 24yo woman is responsible for a 54yo men to lose his ways is crazy. These old rags are mostly craving for young girls because their youth and they are easy manipulating. He fired a gun inside the house because he wanted her to shut up. Really/ just close your eyes and imagine yourself in such situation. It is terrifying. Plus the ex wife's text... I would not convict her bases in reasonable doubt. He was violent and she might really acted in self defense
@@Nclk619 He was a loose cannon also and when they got together it was doubly toxic. Midlife crisis run amok and a gold digger isn't a responsible combination.
I hope the six year old daughter doesnt grow as messed as ashley and ashley's mother. Who tf makes a six year old go on parades like that😤
Yeah putting the little girl outside of the court was unreal. Poor kid. Only 6 yrs old.
Unfortunately, Ashley’s mom has custody of her. Florida is not very good at letting extended family have access to children entangled in these situations. Look at the Dan Markel case, his parents, despite working on a new law still don’t have access to their grandchildren.
@@mirandaajames That was really messed up, it's obvious the wife's family had Dan Markel killed.
Exactly
It's sick, she's sick
She looks like she's in her 50s ...... if she was 23 when they met she's not even 30 yet ....aging terribly!
@@mbi9005 it’s been proven she wasn’t an abused women. I’d blame the stress of knowing you’re going to jail ages you like crazy.
She said out of her own mouth that he never hit her, never slapped her, never pushed her... what makes her an abused woman? Bffr @@mbi9005
when you are pregnant everything smells bad, that is why she said the tea smelled like chemicals, when I was pregnant everything smelled horrible and made me throw up, the tea happened to be normal. she was obsessed and delusional.
I know! I could smell fresh sweat on someone from 30 feet away like it was right under my nose. I would also vomit at the smell of raw chicken. Lol
Yes, normal smells felt like they were hitting me in the face, even when they were across the room. And her whole, "I'm healthy so I shouldn't have morning sickness," theory is ridiculous. My mom was healthy, a dietician and aerobics instructor, but had severe morning sickness with me and my sisters.
She targeted him, married him and then decided to end him. A very brutal discard. Happens with narcissists.
All the covert narcissistic classics: lovebombing, discard, hoovering, playing the victim/smear campaign… I recognise this kind of pattern (now… because I’ve been through it).
@@qubex100%
And throw in borderline personality disorder , histrionic disorder and a sociopath. The personality disorders were strong in her.
come on now Doug was once a human being no one targeted him, he liked her thats that. Her killing her has nothing to do with their courtship.
She is not a good actress. omg convict her, please. So fake.
Exactly. If you'r genuinely upset, you don't gulp, cry and breakdown at the start and end of sentences. You have broken dialogue, unable to control when it comes out and there are actual tears! ha!
She was already convicted of manslaughter.
@@TawnyC_ she wasn't 'convicted' until the end, after all the fake tears and lying testimony.
Seriously, she’d only ever be cast in Van Nuys. 😂
@@lisawentworth6831 um yeah that's usually how it works...
How convenient that her mother took their child for a stroll at that very moment... how perfectly convenient... 🙄 that poor little girl is going to be brought up by a narcissistic grandmother who is only going to brainwash her lies about her father and half-sister... unbelievable...
It was premeditated by both of them
@@buttercupj6208totally agree. She’s already brainwashed, based on the words she spoke as a 6 year old protester.
@welshwitch2126 exactly. It broke my heart to hear her speak of things she has absolutely no understanding of. 💔 It is absolutely disgusting to use a child like this 💔
I'm sure her mother helped her cook up the whole plan. That baby may not have been his child . DNA needed to be done! That might have changed things
VERY TRUE......
Like Judge Judy always says;
“If you tell the truth you don’t have to have a good memory”.
This case demonstrates that truth IMPLICITLY!!!!
Her dad who is remarried didn’t show up to support her. Ashley and her evil mom are the masterminds
When you can't tell your story with your eyes open is nothing but a big lie
Not to forget how she deliberately shielded her poker face and the very conspicuous absence of tears with her hair all the time.
She was a true hotty patotty - cutey patooty ...
but she closed her eyes!
🔥👁👁🔥
@khunopie9159 Doug thought so too until she had put him to death. This is what comes off by going for what is on the outside. Utterly lacking in discernment!
I am not taking her side, but I am autistic and I can't even convey my shopping list and look someone in the eyes. So, your statement might be true for her, it is not categorically true in every circumstance.
Zero tears. It's disgusting.
"I don't remember, I don't remember," and not one tear shed. What a terrible actress...fast forward to 22.00 to skip the recap...
But she can remember Doug’s neck veins were bulging. Lol
Good looking out 👍🏽
Thank you!
Never has there been a post from 48 hours so close back to back it's usually 2 days or more THANK YOU 48 🤗
Right? I was so excited cause i saw part one last night and thought I had to wait a while 🎉
I know right
It’s all the same info from part 1
A couple of good God fearing family oriented consertivatives, right? 😂 Carring guns, campaigning for Trump, punching dogs on the face and sending Bible verses to family members. What a dumpster fire those two were! The guy was clearly an abuser, but he met someone even more violent than him. After trying to get her way by lying and failing, she just shot the guy. I only feel sorry for the daughters.
Haha u described the two episodes in one paragraph very well.. felt exactly like u said after watching
You need mental help too!

@Rebecca-hc5ju glad you weren't on the jury...
@@anapatriciaperez24 Why? That was a good description of them. Conservatives: check. Trump supporters: check. Both did appear violent: check. She lied to get the child and failed: check. She shot him: check. Why would someone making accurate observations need mental help??
I don't think Ashley ever loved Doug. I think it was all about having a baby , As soon as she was pregnant she left. I also think it was premeditated.
Sociopath and narcissistic woman 😭 i'm so sorry for the daugther (s).....
Both daughters.
They were two narcissists who found each other.
They were both crazy and gave me the creeps. They bonded over Trump & guns and got married in 13 days lol who does that??
@@Yusuave It was the daughter who actually offed her dad out of jealousy especially when the baby was born!
A shame
I don't believe a single word she says. She is beyond crazy
Loon City!!
But we chill with a man who fires a gun in the house bc wifey is talking?
Sounds like two mentally ill adults. I feel sorry for the daughters. I hope they can both find stability in their life.
Doug may have been mentally ill, but Ashley is just evil.
how would Doug be mentally ill? Sadly, he was besotted with a much younger woman, and love makes you blind. I think that she is a narcissist
@@AnnaLee33 For myself, I was saying that Doug “may” have been mentally ill, but that Ashley being evil is not in question. I definitely agree she’s a narcissist, and unfortunately much more. Not all narcissists are delusional killers.
Those are my thoughts exactly. She is a narcissist and a killer, but he also had issues. What sort of would marry a woman that he's only known a few weeks and mostly by phone and sex pictures? He was also very unsafe with guns! As a gun owner, my guns are in my gun safe except for the self defense gun that us also I n a safe place and is never just laying around willy nilly.
@@AnnaLee33
You may be right. He may not be mentally ill, just a selfish narcissist.
Because that’s EXACTLY the kind of person who gets INFATUATED with a much younger woman that pumps his ego, marries them after a short time, doesn’t include his daughter, and also all while he promised his GRIEVING daughter who specifically expressed that’s not what she needs, but does it any damn way.
15:38 Ashley was pregnant for the first time, so feeling nauseous is normal and so is being overly sensitive to smells.
She started salting the ground long before he ended up dead. Doug’s mistake was not seeing the forest for the trees as so many of us have done in the past…
Ashley and her Mom are making certain that Emerson will follow in both of their malignant victim narcissistic footsteps. That is their legacy. Such horrible women. As for Doug, he was delusional
Agree. That poor child has NO chance! Doug was misguided and vulnerable. It would have been much simpler if there wasn’t the baby involved….custody etc. He could have made a clean break.
Agreed
@@MizzTH-G Those women would never let that happen hence why she talked him into reversing his vasectomy because when the money ran out they needed leverage and an heir for whatever else they could drain him of.
Doug's own outbursts are why it wasn't 2nd degree. Yes, these women are toxic narcs and maybe just maybe she is suffering paranoia.
@@missmorla1339Yes!!!!!
Any 54 year old should be honest with themselves and ask why would a 24 year old be interested in him. Women do like A BIT older men, not 30 years older.
Oh sorry, I didn't realise you were the elected spokesperson for the entire female global population.....my bad....please....carry on.........
I think he was grieving and lonely. Ashley recognized that and took advantage of Doug. She is guilty and evil.
Anna Nicole Smith…there was a 63-year age gap between her and that tycoon she married
@@VictoriaHudsonhe was a billionaire…this guy was not.
The way she came in made me think she scouted the obituaries for a widower. He was lonely & she immediately got pregnant, took advantage of him and left him.
It is a real shame that women like Ashley use the fact there are abused women in the world as a weapon against good men. What is wrong with our society? Unbelievable.
$$$$ - that’s what’s wrong with our society.
@@SharonMartinezвы этим оправдываете ее. Социопатки.
Makes me wonder if Ashley is following on her mom footsteps? I know I am stretching here.
What’s wrong with our society not to question this man’s choice to get married to a woman 30 years younger in only two weeks of meeting her? The man wanted a piece he couldn’t chew.
It's not "our" society. This has gone on for ages uncounted.
I believe in patterns. Shooting a gun, period, is traumatic to people who have never heard it or seen it and to do it in the house is crazy. Every time you see the hole, it’s a reminder. Then to supposedly know that he abused his ex wife. THEN, he insisted in following her to Maryland, knowing full well that she doesn’t want you around, like come on. He was forcing his will. Eva, you went on the back burner when Ashley came into the picture but you still want to defend a dad that lied to you. Saying he never yelled at her but he shot a gun in the house, be serious.
Thank you! The majority of comments are so myopic and delusional.
Yuuup. I don't get how everyone sees this man as an innocent angel in this story. Lots of bizarre behavior from him. Not excusing her actions either but they were both incredibly toxic to each other.
This woman also has guns out her ying yang. She’s not innocent by any means! She planned this wanting full custody and his money
I hope Eva writes the most impactful statement about the loss of her dad and Ashley gets the maximum sentence. The wake of chaos Ashley left behind is worthy of it.
I how she gets another trial. I believe her.
54 year old man marries someone not even a decade older than his teenage daughter (his daughter who had just lost her mother and whom he promised he would focus his time on), he admits to harming a defenseless animal, the incident of firing into the ceiling, and the text from his first wife… Ashley doesn’t seem right either but I think Eva is blinded to her father’s behaviour which was also very suspicious.
@@ixizn They are both narcissists
@@ENFPerspectivesI don't see how you could believe she's innocent
She took advantage of a man and situation. Greed and a child as a weapon is a terrible thing
He was nearly 60 he knew what it was
@@jejbsh2191i think he was in a very vulnerable situation since his spouse died, in just a few months.
@jejbsh2191 on the rebound...she was just out for the cash
He married a young, beautiful woman and returned to her repeatedly even after she accused him of poisoning her and abusing their child. He made poor choices.
How is greed involved though, no one has a real job? This social media diva kid is the only doing anything productive.
Thank God she was found guilty. You can tell she was lying and being manipulative.
Yep.
Just because she reported him to the police multiple times doesn’t make him dangerous, it makes her a lunatic. He wasn’t ever charged because the police investigated and found she was full of 💩.
She also alleged that he was a terrible father to his teen daughter and set CPS on him. All determined to be unfounded. She tied up the courts and community resources to suit her vindictive purposes.
Best use of an emoji ever. I agree with your perspective
IDK man...even if she's awful, which I don't deny, this guy was willing to shoot a gun to make her shut up and punch a freaking dog. I don't think it's unreasonable to be afraid of what that man might do in anger.
The fake crying is nauseating 🙄
I cringed watching her.
I can’t believe her attorney put her on the stand. Hellen Keller could see she was lying.
I can’t believe she took their daughter to have hyperbaric therapy with no doctor recommendations or advice. She is a psychopath❌❌❌🚩🚩🚩
That chamber is dangerous.
She pays well. So who cares 😊
@@tinasharinna1012with money from where tho?! If she had the sort of ready money 30 treatments in the chamber would have cost, she'd have been able to start up the Ballet Company without Doug putting up the $100k he lost in the venture. No medical insurer in the world would cover such specialist treatment for poisoning that all medical tests say doesn't exist & 100% would not have wanted the liability for any future issues such a young baby might have from undergoing treatment proved as safe for adults but not tested for safety with young children, & it's doubtful any other parents would offer their child as a guinea pig to find out if it's safe, besides Ashley!!! Doug should have held that against her in court as putting their daughter in a position of possible harm, purely to feed her delusion
Hold on... According to Part 1, Ashley, Doug, and the mother-in-law packed their belongings in a U-Haul to leave for Baltimore.
How is it during that time, Doug becomes intensely angry with Ashley that she feared for her life?
If she was so afraid of him, why would her mother leave her side to go to the park that night?
The mother is a conspirator, and the daughter made the execution.
Exactly so fake
Exactly what I got from this. Weird how the mother was not accused of anything.
Yea all that moving and traveling made no sense. She left him to be in FL, sort of gets back with him, then agrees to move to MD with him, but yet is afraid? She had made a (mostly) clean break from him but then is suddenly afraid of him after agreeing to move with him. If she was truly afraid, she wouldn't have agreed to go back after being in a safe place.
The mother also packed her stuff?
@@Erin-rg3dwNot to mention she was engaged to someone else? Then wants to make plans with him?
I just cannot understand how grown adults over the age of 40 who have kids go around marrying such young people who they’ve only known for such a short time, they do it out of lust and at a certain age you really should know better then that.
All that ballet money he could have left to Ava. For the therapy she is going to need. He was not being a good dad to Ava he let his other head do the thinking for him. Both were insane I'm sorry. Was she more insane? Yeah. But being a victim doesn't mean you weren't a horrible person.
What's the point of having two parts when 75% of the second is just showing the stuff from the first video again?
She married after 13 days, a man 30 years her senior and with money. Says a Lot.
It says a lot about him
Says alot about him as well this is not a one sided affair
@@karaDee2363 He just lost his wife to a heart attack and this beautiful woman was interested in him. That makes sense. Her side of it I do not understand other than marrying for money which is truly evil
My dad was married six times. He said he always thought with his small head instead of his big head 😂
I don't think he had money. What he had is not "having money" to me.
I have an opinion that Ashley's mother was also in her ear...the mother 'walked' the baby the day the father got shot...
💯💯💯
Exactly. I believe the mother should be investigated, too! Didn't they say in part 1 that her mother was quick to take her daughters side and claim that Doug was being abusive and had them scared, yet in court, they made it look like the mother had no idea of what was going on. Also, she just happens to leave moments befo4e her daughter shot Doug. I'm sure the mother and daughter planned this out ahead of time.
@@NoteyouraveRage Totally agree. My prayers go to the granddaughter also. She doesn't have a clue.
100%
Trigger warning:.... idk if Doug was abusive to the extent that she says, but I will say that an abuser does not have to hit you or be physical with you in order to make you fear for your life. I had a boyfriend at one time that would do everything but hit me or anything that would leave a mark on me and there were some nights where I definitely feared for my life. He would push me on to the bed, climb on top of me and put his fist in my face, he told me that his brother would be willing to help him hide a body if he ever needed, he lifted his bicycle which he kept in the living room and put a hole in the ceiling with the tire, he grabbed me by my arm (the one bruise he did leave) and put his first in my face. one time when I was getting out of the car he took my arm and put my wrist over the steering wheel like he was going to use it to brake my wrist, he spit in my face...Just to name a few. But I can tell you thinking back on those events, even as real and truthful as they are, there is very little chance I would be able to reenact it accurately for anyone. The fear doesn't allow it. There is no way I would be able to remember detail of how he was facing, where his hands were at each moment, etc or even what made him mad at the time. I never had a weapon to defend myself. I would just shut down or do what I had to in order to appease him to get through it until it was over. If I did have a weapon at that time, idk what I would have done in those moments of terror. So who knows if anyone would believe me after the fact if I did have the means to defend myself. A lot of people think, well if he was abusive then why didn't you just leave? Leaving is scary. I tried many times. Thats when he became the most scary actually. And on top of that, there are good moments like that video of them laughing while playing that game. There are good moments that make you think maybe things are going to change. But those good moments don't mean the abuse didn't happen. I also never told my mother even though I was living with her at the time. I didn't tell my friends either at the time either. I was too ashamed. I was embarrassed. After the relationship was over, the mutual friends (we were in college) we had that I did tell, they either didn't believe me or didn't care. Not telling people close to you, does not mean the abuse didn't happen. Not reporting it doesn't mean the abuse didn't happen.

The mother was in on it. She just happened to take the baby to the park even though her daughter was in fear for her life? Very sketchy...
Hey motive is so obvious because she never once filed for divorce! If she was so scared of him, why not file for divorce as soon as she left? Instead, he filed for divorce, and her immediate reaction was to reconcile because she wanted the little girl but more importantly, this conniving evil woman wanted his money!
And she was the one dating someone, else.
Yes! And i bet the child was not even his! No DNA was done....
This didn't need to be 2 parts. They just repeated part 1 for half the episode
dude she’s such a bad actress. she can’t even produce tears
I am surprised the court allowed the mother of the killer to have the child
she remembers his veins but not where she grabbed the gun from? very selective memory
she wanted sole custody because of the monthly checks
Exactly
I watched part 1 yesterday and I’m getting deja vu, I’m sure you played all these clips already in the first part?????
lmao
Déjà vu
They didn't show her taking the stand yesterday. They saved that for today.
Yeah. Basically a replay
@@49ers_red_and_gold2they did, I watched that part yesterday when she was on the stand crying. This same clip
Eva must have felt betrayed by her father. She put him on a pedestal as many young daughters do. I guess she was blinded by her narcissistic father. I say narcissist, because what man who had any sense of care and compassion would run off with a girl 30 years younger than him when his wife and mother of his grieving children had died only 9 months previous…after knowing her only 13 days?!
You bring up some good point there!
And sneak behind his daughter's back to get married?
She’s 33? Dang. She looks 55.
If that looks like a 55 year old, you must be looking at elite women on social media that get work to look like her age of 33.
This is ridiculous, it's like watching the same episode twice.
She deserves the full 30 years
More than that, IMO.
Plus 30.more!!!
Manslaughter is ridiculous. What do you mean you don't believe she planned this? She getting pretty girl pity.
Didn't look too pretty fake crying constantly. She looks like she aged 10 years
He admitted he shot a gun in the house with two teenagers.
He admitted to punching his dog.
He admitted to kicking his deceased wife.
He married a woman after he promised his daughter he wouldn't.
He ran away and married her in secret.
He wasn't this sweet innocent, naive man. He had definite anger issues.
She planned it, probably, but he wasn't mister nice guy, that is why it was not 2nd degree. Yes, she belongs in jail.
according to who the liar/murderer
@newsongsung1147 who said he admitted to it tho? It's not official in court that he admitted to it. You people don't seem to care about fine details. I could just as easily say you admitted to being a lame in highschool.
@@newsongsung1147 I trust his older daughter knows more about what really happened than you do.
Weird case. A man marrying a young woman shortly after meeting her for the first time and shortly after his first wifes death without telling his daughter doesn't seem quite sane to me. Also shooting a gun to stop an argument and punching his own dog shows that this man had a mental problem. Why would the woman quit her dream of a ballett school and leave her husband? There must be a reason for that. On the other hand: there is a possibility for her being a narcissist too. It's complicated. I hope both daughters will have a good life.
Agreed. I believe her
Yeah. He was crazy
Uh, sorry. He admitted to shooting the gun. In the house. In anger. And was granted joint custody. If that had been a woman, that would have NEVER happened. I don’t know if she was being poisoned. But I believe she believed it. She was trying to protect her daughter, he should never have been granted unsupervised contact.
He has had some blow ups, but that's what happens when you bottle everything up being married to a manipulator. She didn't just make up the poisoning, but he also was molesting his infant daughter? This woman was sick and he was unfortunately attracted to the chaos. Some people are, it doesn't turn out well
@@Alexi-r4ga lot of people have been with manipulators but not everyone uses a gun. Don’t forget he beat his former wife at the night of their honeymoon. He was certainly not innocent. I think this was a very toxic relationship
So the gun was just laying around with a young child living in the home? If she had the weapon secured in a quick-open safe, she would have remembered that. For her to say she didn’t remember how the weapon was stored - that tells a story in itself. This woman and her mother, in addition to being premeditated murderers, are horribly irresponsible gun owners and terrible unsafe guardians of a very young child.
All these femme fatales are the same. Split personality, with a phony innocence that she turns on and off like a light switch. I know what happened. That man wanted shared custody and she didn't
That man wouldn't leave her alone! He was constantly trying to rekindle, control her and sleep with her, even though she was trying to get away from him. He was infatuated with her...
You are both right. Both were/are narcissists. Narcs will go to great lengths to get what they want.
Omg! Not the six year old daughter getting dragged into into all of this😭
Where are the tears? All that moaning and snivelling, but not a single tear?
Never take a narcissist to a therapist!😢 That's just a mental playground for her😢
The fact she displayed and used her daughter in that manner at the courthouse tell you everything you need to know about this female 🤨 that is some pretty sick and twisted behaviour
Her fake crying is as bad as Amber heard’s acting/fake crying.
They put them in the chamber WITHOUT PROOF OF POISONING??
WTH?🤦♀️
Yeah I wondered that myself. Previously mentioned high Zinc and aluminum levels I think. That could be explained by otc supplements.
💰💰💰
Putting the baby in that plastic thing with no evidence of poisoning is beyond insane.
That chamber doesn't work anyway.
Money.
That poor little girl is already brainwashed.
I honestly thought she was lying about the abuse but then he abused his first wife, and he admits to it and hitting the dog. None of us can truly say there was no DV there only the 2 of them knows what happened and why.
I agree with you. I think he was abusive and she was mentally ill. It was a bad combination
Her face while crying is absolutely horrid.
That poor Doug was so vulnerable after his wife’s death. Ashley took FULL advantage of that and milked him dry. I feel for Eva too. She has suffered immensely. And that poor Emerson - God help her with a mother like Ashley. And I do believe grandma has had a hand in it too. Ashley is a complete lying, fake actress.
And the dog...... The poor dog!!!!😂
@@carolyounce5810 don’t! I hate cruelty to animals more than to people. I do think that Ashley was exaggerating him smacking the dog. Just to try to really slag him off. He did admit to smacking the dog but I doubt he punched him on the head and rendered him unconscious. Thank God Eva has the lovely hound now. I loved the footage of her walking on the beach with Sully and her uncle. I have smacked unruly dogs before when words have not worked but I’d never smack my cats.
Well, he wasn’t a saint either so….
Lol yeah "poor Doug" who went after young tail (30 years younger) and left his teenage daughter to go after and live in another state with the same woman thar accused him of SA his youngest daughter and accused him of poisoning them. What a great guy...
I don’t believe the affair started nine days after his wife’s death it was happening before she died
If there was a paper trail of evidence to support him being abusive, why wasn’t it presented to the viewers?
Or the jury? Ah yes… doesn’t exist 👌
Drama queen! No tears!
don't understand the point of this episode - 90% of it repeats part 1
welcome to the world of making your research $ stetch
If you were in fear of your husband why would you go back with them several times and take your child as well and bring your mother.
It takes abode victims an average 7 times to actually leave them. It’s not that easy
This is a dangerous woman. Very very dangerous.
Omg,who marries anyone after just 13 days? More importantly, who thinks they can work it out with someone who accused you of molesting the daughter.
why does it say part 2 when it's just part 1 cut different?
Any guy who puts a gun to his head when he's angry (both his ex wife via that old text message and Ashley stated this) is clearly unstable. And any woman who grossly exaggerates the truth and then believes it is also unstable. These two getting together was a recipe for disaster.
9:05 doug looks like a dweeb then has a midlife crisis less than ONE year closer to 6 months after elopes without the most important woman in his life. His child. He did leave Ava alone often as well to go visit his child bride. That's kinda what you get when you remarry 6 months after your wife dies. Poor Ava. Her dad and stepmom both insane.
As a victim of abuse from a young age, as well as in later relationships, nothing of her testimony sounded true, looked true, read true. Many in chats thought I was uncaring, but you when you hear and ‘see’ the ‘victim’ mirrored and nothing is ringing true, I cannot excuse what she did. I think what she did to Doug’s oldest daughter, and their relationship was reprehensible, and her estrangement of his younger daughter from him and her sister abusive. I don’t find Doug a particularly sympathetic victim, but he didn’t need to die.
That's how I felt. He didn't seem to be the greatest guy, but she just should have let him be part of his child's life like millions of other divorced couples do. She was selfish beyond belief--not even putting his name on the birth certificate???
My partner and I are both longtime gun owners. We have a gun safe. 25 years we’ve been together not once has anyone shot a gun in our house. Never not once. This is just wrong.
Because between you two , not one is crazy
But look where and when the two met.
33:41 she spent two hours that morning testifying, but eyes are not red or swollen AT ALL from crying? Sorry, when my son was killed and I cried for hours, my eyes looked terrible all day.
I am sooo happy that she is getting jail time. I love the idea of accountability on her part for what happened in her life. She frustrated her husbands attempts to make a good relationship and then she blamed it on him.
They were both troubled and narcissists . They destroyed each other.
How was he a narcissist? Troubled, obviously, but what about his behavior fits the textbook definition of a narcissist?
Yep. Narcs will go to great lengths to get their own way.
Yessss! I agree with this comment 100% Keep in mind that the human brain doesn’t even finish developing until around 24 years old, so she was still a very young adult.
