叙述者
Ashley Benefield: 我与Doug 的婚姻关系充满暴力和威胁，他曾用枪指着我，殴打我们的狗，并试图毒害我和女儿Emerson。我因为害怕他会杀害我而开枪自卫。我申请保护令是为了保护我和女儿的安全，但我的请求被法官驳回。我最终在搬家过程中开枪打死了Doug，因为我害怕他会伤害我和女儿。
Doug Benefield: （通过律师和证词）我从未毒害Ashley，也没有虐待女儿Emerson。Ashley 的指控是捏造的，目的是为了获得孩子的抚养权。
Eva Benefield: 我不相信Ashley 的说法，我认为她杀害了我的父亲。
Alicia Byers: 我相信我的女儿Ashley 是家暴的受害者，她开枪自卫是为了保护自己和女儿。
Sarah Morosky: 我被Ashley 和Doug 创立的芭蕾舞团的理念所吸引，但该芭蕾舞团最终倒闭，对舞者们造成了很大的伤害。
Dr. Barbara Russell: 我认为Doug 对Ashley 的关系具有控制性，Ashley 是家暴的受害者。
Stephanie Murphy: 我作为Doug 的律师，认为Ashley 的指控是捏造的，目的是为了获得孩子的抚养权。
