In Ashley's face, I see a woman furious that she couldn't manipulate the court the way she manipulated her victim. I think her mother is also guilty of this crime. They both used Doug in his final months, and I believe they planned his murder together. After raising one monster, her mother should not be permitted to raise Doug's daughter.
The judge stated she seemed to be sorry. I never saw that one time in her. If she was sorry, it was for herself. A life is worth 20 years?? She should have gotten the max of 30 years behind bars. Really she should have gotten life. These states and the different laws really are unfair.
I can’t believe he was interrupting Doug’s daughter’s speech. She should have been allowed to say whatever she wanted without any interruptions. That was her dad!
It is OUTRAGEOUS that the victim impact statement is interrupted and the victims should be able to say whatever they want apart from cussing! Also, WTH raising your right hand to give an impact statement??? Really? That's a crock of crap all for the murderer and causing yet more pain on the victim's family. WTH Florida!
I don’t understand how this judge at all! He said he feels Ashley is sorry … she is only sorry for herself! Not for murdering her husband in cold blood! And to sustain some of Eva’s impact statement is utterly disgusting 🙄! Never have I seen that happen before. Doug Benefield RIP 💔😢
She manipulated a wealthy man, spent his money, and thought she could spin a story to get full custody and keep him away from his child. Her pitiful look will be gone in prison.
The Florida Electorate needs to fire the Judge. I've never seen victim statements interrupted like that. Why was he protecting a convicted murderer at this stage? Imagine being Doug's family. I pray for Eva. Write a book, Eva!!
20 is not justice. Hey, judge! You cannot interrupt Eva’s statement. I don’t understand the jury didn’t come to the 2nd degree murder. She’s gonna be out in 17 yrs. She lured him into the house and shot him, which is 1st degree premeditated murder. Ashley, don’t make that angry grumpy face because 20 is a gift.😡🤬😡🤬😡
@@jodifocht5680 right Florida is always on that BS, and over the last few years my next door neighbor Ohio has been trying to be the Florida of the Midwest. It’s been getting crazy in Ohio.
Yes, smug. Since around the late 70’s/early 80’s - society has given legal/social justifications/excuses(batter spouse/postpartum depression) for women to cause harm to the statistically most common victims of their violence - children and their spouses. How often are men given such considerations for similar horrible crimes? She is offended she didn’t get a pass, when in reality she did(only 20 years), so she sits smugly. If he killed her, he would have gotten the death penalty or life in prison at a minimum….
I have PTSD, but l am NOT going to do a crime and hurt someone. Justice will be served one day the way that it’s supposed to be served Praying for the victim family.
Where did she look smug ? She looked like the bottom was falling out of her world to me . I think you need to retract that statement because its FALSE !

I cannot believe these defense attorneys butting into the victim impact statements & the judge not allowing the victims allowed to say what they feel as long as they are speaking eloquently about things, it’s THEIR FEELINGS & thoughts on what Ashley did & how it impacted their lives & their families lives!
Motionless upon hearing the sentence. Cold and remorseless. This is exactly how she looked after murdering Doug, cold, calm, controlled, walked away without even looking at him. Evil animal
The word smug originated from the Middle Dutch word smuc, which means "neat, pretty, nice". But also, in the definition of ‘smug’, it says: “and having no doubt about the value of what you know or have done.”
What a disgusting and irresponsible tagline for a “news” channel to post!! You have NO idea what she’s experiencing! There’s MANY of us that see trauma and disassociating in her look the entire time! Also a tell tale sign of DV victims!! Honestly!! Get it together!! 😡
Smug? She looks like she’s broken. She has zero expression on her face. Smug is a disgusting way to describe her. Yall seem to forget she was a victim too.

I don't see Smug, Her eye's says it all, feeling sorry for herself, not remorseful at all.
Cold and shattered
She appears to be making a great effort to appear sad, dejected, and falsely accused. She oozes hate and evil.
That’s the definition of smug.

Someone clearly doesn’t understand the definition of “smug”.
I didn't see 'smug'. She looked dead inside. I wonder if she's on medication.
Didn't want to share custody of their child.. Now because of her selfishness the child has no mother or father growing up...
The judge stated she seemed to be sorry. I never saw that one time in her. If she was sorry, it was for herself. A life is worth 20 years?? She should have gotten the max of 30 years behind bars. Really she should have gotten life. These states and the different laws really are unfair.
Agree with you completely!
and she wont do all of that 20 years likely 60% 80 at most... Disgusting!
The Judge was very cold and I thought Rude to poor Doug's family!! He bent over backwards for that witch, I was shocked!
I can’t believe he was interrupting Doug’s daughter’s speech. She should have been allowed to say whatever she wanted without any interruptions. That was her dad!

She sure charmed that judge.
She got off easy! She should get out of prison when Doug comes back to his family.
This judge sucks! She showed no remorse, unbelievable 😮
Yes the judge really sucks, he seems useless
And interrupting victim statements. Abomination
SHE GOT OFF EASY
NOT SMUG,SELF PITY YES.
Sad not smug is what I see.
Guilty
I don’t understand how this judge at all! He said he feels Ashley is sorry … she is only sorry for herself! Not for murdering her husband in cold blood!
And to sustain some of Eva’s impact statement is utterly disgusting 🙄! Never have I seen that happen before.
Doug Benefield RIP 💔😢
Sarah Boone was smug she just looks sad and depressed
I totally agree with you. The whole thing is sad
Judge…. OMG20 yrs is ALL she gets?????
Smug my arse! Do the people that write these titles for videos actually watch them first?
Seems to happen a lot. This channel is based in CA and is run by DEI hires.
The judge seems to be sold to the devil
What a monster. She murders her husband in cold blood but she’s the victim.
Ashley put on an act again complete with dark makeup for under eye bags as she did during trial
Judge was far too lenient,… if it had been a male, under the same circumstances, I would bet it would have been the 30 year maximum 🤨
20 years? What happens if she tries to kill again?
She manipulated a wealthy man, spent his money, and thought she could spin a story to get full custody and keep him away from his child. Her pitiful look will be gone in prison.
Bingo. Women know these types better than the middle aged men they trap.
She’s not sitting smug, she’s sitting pathetic. She’s going to spend her pretty years in prison.
Her pretty years are already long passed.
The Florida Electorate needs to fire the Judge. I've never seen victim statements interrupted like that. Why was he protecting a convicted murderer at this stage? Imagine being Doug's family. I pray for Eva. Write a book, Eva!!
She doesn’t look smug. She looks incredibly sad. Stop the pandering.
You say sad- I think smug/bothered/inconvenienced😖
More so, no remorse still
I feel the same way. No matter how someone acts in a courtroom it’s never right. What are they supposed to do?
@@Mollymommyor really drugged. Either way, she is only incredibly sad, because she knows she is not getting off.
Incredibly sad, because she realizes she is going to jail. So yes, she is sad for herself.

i don think she looks smug,more completely defeated and deflated
This is not what smug looks like.
Smug?!? More like a ‘my life is over’ expression.
20 yrs ? Wow you've got to be kidding
Taking the life of her husband. No defensive wounds, no sign of a struggle in the house. She should’ve gotten life without parole.
@justinpitcock5312 guess not in Florida

You need to look up smug in the dictionary.
How does she have PTSD?
Not smug. Likely sedated.

Brain dead,no sorry ,nothing,what a cold woman.

Retract a statement?????? It's you tube for heavens sake 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This judge did a pathetic job
I’m sure they have given her something to keep her calm. This is her life now. Its hard to make the switch I’m sure
She ALWAYS looks like that. Cold, dead-eyed, emotionless witch.
Definitely not smug.
“Smug” whatchatalkingabout?
I thing the word, smug does not fit. She knows how horrible her situation is. I’m sure she is in a deep depression.
Was it worth it, Ashley? Your baby has lost both parents?
Ashley you have Lost your Freedom
Defeated NOT smug.,…
She’s horrified
Definitely entitled, imo
she’s gotta keep in roll for the jury n judge smh she killed him
Right and she’s a horrible actress. So happy they didn’t fall for her garbage acting job.
She murdered him.
She doesn't look like a ballerina now!!!
Prison food will do that.
She did it sit there are smug what a load of rubbish!!
She just looks empty no emotion.
Stone cold killer. We normal people can't relate. She's dangerous
Law&Crime as usual gets it wrong. This is not smug. Who writes these captions? Pathetic!!
That grey hair is already starting to come through.
And the eye bags.
Looks like her mother NOW

Her Pretty Privilege Ran Out
At the time of the shooting was Doug armed with a weapon?
SMUG - having or showing an excessive pride in oneself or one's achievements. "he was feeling smug after his win"
Neil trying to keep her from being sent to Lowell!

Only a matter of time until she has a wife

She was absolutely NOT a DAV,… Shame on you 🤨
My my my my poker face, poker face. She is only sorry for herself, thinking how will she get in her pirouette's in prison!
10 years? What a joke
Judge bending over backwards for this killer ?
It’s always a shame when dudes lose a hottie to prison
🤡
You need to get out more. She's really not very attractive by Florida standards.
She is trying to appear crazy to use it later for appeal.
Smug? She looks like she’s broken. She has zero expression on her face. Smug is a disgusting way to describe her. Yall seem to forget she was a victim too.
Whatever she does, the Land C crowd will condemn her; she can't win.
Twenty? She’ll be out in 5.
Did she superglue her lips before the sentencing today?
