A mom of three was executed in front of her kids less than 24 hours after her estranged husband was sprung from jail on no bail over a caught-on-camera beatdown she’d posted to her Facebook page in a desperate plea for help.
The shocking case — in Gov. Kathy Hochul’s western New York hometown — has sparked fresh outrage to New York’s no-cash-bail laws and to the governor and fellow Democrats for refusing to repeal them.
Adam Bennefield, 45, who has a prior conviction for kidnapping another ex at gunpoint, is now charged with shooting dead his 40-year-old wife, Keaira Bennefield.
The victim was taking her young children — ages 6 months to 9 years — to school on the morning of Oct. 5, when he ambushed her on a road and gunned her down, authorities said.
Bennefield was free to carry out the alleged murder after being released from custody a day earlier on only misdemeanor charges despite the horrific attack on his wife inside her home.
Tragic Keaira Bennefield had shared the sick footage of Bennefield allegedly punching, kicking and slapping her on Facebook in a cry for help less than a week before she was murdered.
Now, in the weeks since the grim slaying questions have continued to mount as to whether more could have been done to prevent Keaira’s demise.

Kathy Hochul is an accessory to murder. Lee Zeldin needs to cut his final ad about this woman today.
“They are the democrat voters who vote...”
And they are the “ghost” voters, with no IDs, no signatures, packing drop boxes at night, boxes of illegal ballots from NJ, etc etc etc...
To have held him without bail or requiring him to pay bail would of course be “racist”. Couldn’t things like this be called just another aspect of the democrat “war on women”?
in the words of Democratic politicians everywhere... what’s the big deal? what do you care so much about this?
These evil people need to not only be thrown out of office but run out of town.
Would it have been ok if he had been out having posted bail?
white maga extremists are the #1 threat to Americans, right pedo-President?
The murderer must have been ultra mega MAGA
Fair point. Probably unlikely that he would have been able to do so.
[How come David Dapepe was held without bail for doing far less?]
No talkie to the press.
Haha, just kidding.
As if they’d tell the truth!
Well, she kind of invited herself to the party.
Most of the wife killers that I've met professionally tended to be among the nicer criminals. Just bad news for the women who knew how to push their buttons. Even the mean drunks who couldn't regularly get access to alcohol in prison.
The judge that released him should be arrested, and tried as an accessory to murder.
But, but as NYC Mayor Adams has told us, most subway riders don’t get mugged. And I’m sure most wife-beaters released without bail don’t kill their wives/girlfriends upon their release, so it really isn’t a problem.
He could have waited until after the election. Geez.
NY has a cashless bail, which applied to his previous crimes. Her death was the result this legislation. She knew he was after her. She even wore a bullet proof vest the day he killed her. Illinois is going to enact the same in 2023.
The judge could have remanded him if the law allowed it.
This wasn’t his first go around with violence towards his gf’s.
She calls us data deniers. Better a data denier than a murder enabler.
> Would it have been ok if he had been out having posted bail? <
This guy had a prior conviction for kidnapping another woman. He should have been held without bail. But I’ll bet NY law would not allow that.

Crime is for the working class and tax payers.
If the ruling class is touched, the offender must be crushed.
.
This lawlessness has got to stop now
Has fetterman come out in defense of this murderer yet ?
