Ballerina Judge Fires at Defense After Daughter of Murder Victim is Called Out For Speaking to Media

2024-07-25に共有
Eva Benefield, the daughter of slain father Doug Benefield, was called up to the stand on Thursday morning after she was found talking to the media about the trial when she was allegedly under subpoena. Defense attorney Neil Taylor asked for Benefield to retrieve her phone after he found social media posts of her talking about the trial on TikTok. The judge fired back saying that it was a waste of time, and the state believed it was a violation of privacy.

  • The face she gave Ballerina as she was leaving, walking out. Priceless
  • @Rio0444
    Reporters should know better not to harrass witnesses.
  • She doesn't have representation. Answer no questions
  • @edu456
    The judge did admonish this witness and told her she is not to speak about the trial or testimony. He said he will later decide if she cannot be called as a witness again.
  • I just watched her TikTok and her posts have NOTHING to do with the case. She's doing a "fit check" and mentions the trial is starting; second video mentions how nerve wracking it is to testify on live TV; and finally, she says she finished testifying and then talks about the necklace she's been wearing to court! When you're the survivor of a crime, this is ridiculous! She did NOT mention any testimony, witnesses, the jury or even about the specific crime! This is a defense ploy!
  • @bettlup
    "In the bushes?" Sir?? Are you well??
  • Defense didn't find her posts, she admitted to posting them.
  • How is this judge allowing her 6 yr old daughter to stand in front of courthouse with a sign along with her grandmother??
  • Surely if its televised its not private what the Daughter has said...makes no sense. Leave her alone her Father was Murdered by her Stepmum.
  • As the defendant 's case melts out from under the attacks will become more aggressive and personal.
  • She is being punished for being a victim. This is disgusting.
  • @edu456
    This poor young woman, losing both parents. The defendant shows absolutely zero compassion for her just by her demeanor and body language.
  • @MrBetc
    Leave Eva alone, defense is as evil as their lying evil client.
  • This defense attorney is straight out of "Sunset Boulevard".
  • Bless this girls heart. I hope she is able to move forward and have a productive happy life.
