Andrea Canning and Blayne Alexander sit down to talk about Andrea’s episode, “Deadly Dance.”  In 2020, former ballerina Ashley Benefield claimed she acted in self-defense after fatally shooting her husband, Doug Benefield. But to investigators, the crime scene pointed to one thing – murder.  Andrea and Blayne discuss how the name Black Swan became associated with Ashley Benefield’s murder trial. Plus, Dateline producer Rob Buchanan answers viewer and listener questions and shares what he saw in the courtroom.
