Talk About Getting Away With Murder.....

This crazy lady sure did, pretty much scott-free as they say. Looks like the old " abusive husband "defense is working better than ever in our courts even with little or no evidence as ws the case in this saga.

Just shoot first and ask questions later as this woman did and miraculously got away with, basically doing a hockey season in a local Mental institution for her punishment for murder in cold blood to borrow a favorite phrase of John Murtha, troop hating left wing lunatic congressman whenever anyone accuses our troops of wrongdoing with scant to no evidence to back him up.

So she now walks amongst us as a free woman, probably anxiously awaiting someone to give her a phone call to appear on Oprah or Jerry Springer and then an invitation to write a book about her adventures, or even both. She and OJ might make a wonderful couple in fact in today's wacky world.

Preacher's Wife Mary Winkler Released from Custody

People.com: "Mary Winkler, the Tennessee woman convicted in April of voluntary manslaughter in the 2006 shooting death of her husband, preacher Matthew Winkler, was released from custody on Tuesday, her attorney told CNN. Winkler, 33, was let go from a mental-health facility in her home state after undergoing treatment for depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, according to Steve Farese.

He added that Winkler, the mother of three girls, would decline all interviews because of ongoing litigation involving custody of her children – whom she has not seen in a year – and a $2 million civil suit filed by the parents of her late husband."
Matthew's parents have been taking care of his and Mary's daughters, and have taken legal measures to retain custody, says CNN.

At the time of Mary's trial last spring, daughter Patricia was 9; Mary Alice was 7; and Breanna was 2.

Currently residing with friends, Winkler will resume her job at a dry cleaners in McMinnville, Tenn., said Farese.

Matthew Winkler, 31, a minister at the Fourth Street Church of Christ, was found dead in the church parsonage in March 2006. He had been shot in the back.

Mary Winkler was discovered a day later in Alabama driving the family's minivan with their three young daughters. continued
