The third day of the "Black Swan Murder" trial, which has gained national attention, began with the judge reprimanding Eva Benefield, the victim's daughter, for actions that could have violated a subpoena. The judge clarified the issue before denying the defense's motion to strike Eva Benefield as a rebuttal witness.
The court also heard from Dr. Russell Vega, the state medical examiner, who detailed Douglas Benefield's fatal wounds and presented photos and a demonstration of the bullet trajectories. "The path of travel was one entering the right side of the chest, striking the fifth rib on the right side, the right lung, the 10th rib, the body in the middle of the spine, then the left rib and the tissues in the back until it stopped," explained Dr. Vega.
In a dramatic turn, Ashley Benefield took the witness stand. She became tearful while recounting the events leading up to the shooting, necessitating a break to compose herself. She continued her testimony, emphasizing her self-defense claim.
The defense also motioned for a judgment of acquittal, arguing the state had failed to provide credible evidence against Ashley's self-defense claim and that she acted out of fear rather than ill will or hatred. The judge denied the motion, allowing the trial to proceed.
As the trial continues, the testimonies and evidence presented will play a crucial role in determining Ashley Benefield's fate in the case that has gripped the nation.
