Ex-ballerina Ashley Benefield sentenced to 20 years for husband's murder

Ashley Benefield, a former ballerina, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for the manslaughter of her estranged husband, Doug Benefield, whom she claimed to have shot in self-defense during a domestic altercation. Although acquitted of second-degree murder, she was found guilty of first-degree manslaughter. The case involved allegations of domestic abuse and contentious legal battles over child custody. Benefield's defense has requested a new trial, citing potential juror misconduct, but prosecutors argue there is no evidence of compromised jury deliberations.
