“Black Swan” Trial Begins / Shocking Not Guilty for Marcia Thompson / Killer Ladies & More!
Welcome back to Courtroom Confidential with Joshua Ritter! Today, I share my insights on some of this week’s updates in the true crime world, including:
Notoriously known as the “Black Swan Murder” #AshleyBenefield, a Florida ballerina, shoots her estranged husband in what prosecutors allege was a calculated and cold-blooded murder. Her defense maintains she was a battered woman pushed to the brink by her obsessive and abusive ex-partner, #DougBenefield.
In another case with striking similarities, #MarciaThompson, a U.S. Customs officer, has been found not guilty by a Florida jury for fatally shooting her husband, with allegations of systematic violence again playing a key role.
