Ashley Benefield, a former ballerina, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for fatally shooting her estranged husband in what she claimed was self-defense. The conviction for manslaughter followed a finding by jurors that the evidence did not support the murder charge. Despite allegations of domestic abuse, the judge rejected claims of juror misconduct when the defense sought a new trial. Benefield is set to appeal the conviction. The case has drawn national attention, with comparisons to the film 'Black Swan.'
