women are 6 x more likely to be sent to prison if they kill their abuser WHILE HE IS BEATING THEM than when a man premeditates and murders his female partner.

She actually deserved this sentence. I watched the whole court proceedings. She only wanted a baby and child support. She didn't want her husband, only his money. I would have given her a longer sentence.

they giving her 20 years but Trump released criminals and they got him in the White House and he's a criminal and once he became president had them released making a statement that they have wrongly punished and he was going to make up for it on national TV and he did exactly commands done what he said he released them because they were doing As Told

The case involved a complex narrative, with Ashley claiming Doug was abusive and that she killed him in self-defense. Reports detailed that the couple had a heated argument, during which Doug allegedly held a gun to his head and threatened to kill himself, even firing a shot into the ceiling. Despite this incident, they reportedly proceeded with a wedding reception and plans for starting a family. Ashley also alleged that Doug had been controlling and manipulative, highlighting a note she left for him in Charleston, according to her defense in court.  Ultimately, the jury found Ashley guilty of manslaughter, not murder, indicating they believed her actions were not premeditated but rather stemmed from a volatile situation. The case has been the subject of podcasts and news coverage, focusing on the complexities of domestic violence, self-defense, and the legal ramifications of such cases.

I have seen women attack men aggressively and the woman plays the woman beaten card when he fights back. She deserved what she got.

What part of self-defense don’t you understand? She don’t deserve 20 years. She had to protect herself.

Sadly all she wanted was her child and now he will be a grown man before she gets out of prison. He no longer has a loving Dad either.

if she was beaten and abused and she killed her abuser set her free set her free it's not right she lost her mind he can only beat a dog down so much before even a dog attacks back abuse is not okay on either end or would it be a woman being abused or a man being abused it's not right

In these cases that the husband are totally ABUSING THEIR WIFE and she is FINALLY defending herself I say ( A QUIT)them not put them in jail for years. I thought in U.S. you were allowed to defend yourself over deranged people? GUESS NOT. I watched my loved one go through hell w/a guy just like this🥰 The mind games and guns with this guy are beyond what most of you writing on this subject will ever experience (thank God). I say set her free. granny

Her victim got death. Why doesn’t she? 20 years and she’ll probably get out early as most of them I’ll do, isn’t a punishment. It’s a slap on the hand.

there are a lot of men who are the devil himself, & have law enforcement fooled by his habitual lying , ! I thought I fell in love with a guy, who as soon as we together started accusing me of trying to cheat, -& acted jealous of me! I thought he loved me, but he was brain washing me all along! he knew just how to baby me, then slap the hell out of me, then apologize , then want sex, & pretend he's just so in love with me! what I didn't know ; he had several women who he was doing the same thing with them! but the law always believed him !! the last time I saw him, the women he had was going thru the same crap.! he had raped two other women as well as me, before I got away from him! these officers need to spend more time with these scum bags to learn their behavior patterns & know their mind.

It's not a surprise that a male judge would sentence her to that and if it was a man, he would have got probation!
