    Suspect she’s a narcissist, who gets extremely angry when she doesn’t get her way.
  • @HelenLenox-pw6oq
    Ashley was bleeding his bank account, on a ballet studio that wasn’t making money. He said that they needed to close the studio, and she was angry.
  • @connemaragal
    I dont think she'll take the stand. She isn't talking, PERIOD.
  • @eleanorrhiannon
    the real time car crash was crazy 😮 I hope everyone was ok
  • @amandas.7143
    she used him! ruined & took his life!! she is the most disgusting type of mother !! one that cannot share for the best interest of their child should not be allowed to bear children!! LOVE YOUR CHILD MORE THAN YOU HATE YOUR EX!! but she obviously started the relationship with bad intentions so the problems w/ her are way deeper than bad parenting.. despicable!! lock her up & throw away the keys . & the fact the gma is outside the court w/ their child holding signs is so incredibly sad. clearly this is generationally taught parental alienation. i hope Doug’s family is allowed to see & help raise this poor child. Get her in a healthy home💔
  • She is one of the most cunning manipulative ppl I’ve ever seen. Her act is on 99% of the time but you can still see glimpses of her true nature. I hope she testifies so her true nature can get exposed.
  • @devonstewart9376
    Why do they keep entertaining Scott Peterson??? Like for real??? Who else was trying to runaway to Mexico and dyed his hair if he didn't kill his pregnant wife and child???
  • She is a player… Really if you can’t see through that façade that she is using in court… I feel for you walking through life. She is full on playing the poor little girl little weak, frail girl with dark circles no make up my hair looking like I’m Amish And I’m just battered down yet you played them like a fiddle didn’t you ? so disparaging for women who are truly in need to speak out against DV shame on her
  • @madlyn792
    She is guilty & needs to spend time in jail.

    Really a bummer to see so many people taking 1 rumor of Doug "punching the dog" & using that to condemn a dead man who can't defend himself. They both spoke on the dog thing, that the dog was jumping & scratched him& he reacted by pushing the dog away, much harder than intended which resulted in the poor pup hitting the ground. Sucky. Awful. Breaks my heart. But it ISNT some vicious abuser going around punching dogs. I'm a DV survivor & Ashley B really makes my blood boil. She is so manipulative & cunning. Breaks my heart for Eva, and for Doug's memory.
  • @cdelane3335
    I think they both jumped into this marriage not really knowing each other. Then when her ballerina studio failed she blamed Dough. She wanted him to leave her and the baby alone. He was fighting for his rights. So she took it upon herself to stop him.
  • When you’re in a relationship with an abuser, you’re doing everything you can do not sit them off being cordial laughing at their stupid comments, etc.
  • @ginac895
    Ashley is guilty. She is shady AF
  • @maymemont
    Did i hear he lived for 1 hr. and 20 min. after being shot??? And there is a question if this is murder? GUILTY!!!
