Thread: Pensioner in court charged with murdering her husband by 'shooting him while he slept

lemme take a stab at this---she was abused and will be out in 6 months and the courts will make it up to her somehow for the minimal time she will recieve

Yet another one.

Whatever reason, fantasy or otherwise, that she or anyone else might have 'felt' justified her action, she MURDERED an unarmed and defenceless man. While he was sleeping.

(Mind you, it is a good way to go).

She will get 'sympathy'. (as defined by women).

I doubt I would get sympathy if I shot a Judge or a Lawyer who was walking and talking and ruining someone's life for profit.

"How long can your man evade death?" - odds on, 60 mins with a 30 second handicap.

Did preacher’s wife get away with murder?

Mary Winkler, the Tennessee woman who shot her minister husband to death while he slept, was released back into society this week after serving just 67 days, most of it in a prison hospital...

“I think it sends a terrible message about the criminal justice system, that you can commit a homicide and literally get away with it,” added Pirro.
Winkler admitting shooting her husband, Matthew, with a 12-gauge shotgun on the night of March 22, 2006, in their parsonage home in Selmer, Tenn...

During her trial in April, she claimed that she had been abused...

She was indicted on a charge of first-degree murder, but on April 19, after eight hours of deliberation, the jury found her guilty of voluntary manslaughter. On June 8, she was sentenced to 210 days in prison, with credit given for 143 days she had spent in jail the previous year before making bail. The judge allowed her to spend 60 of the remaining 67 days of her sentence in a mental health facility.

... “You had a preacher, who by all accounts was loved in his community, who was shot in the back while he slept. You have a woman who says she was abused with no history, no shred of evidence.”...
She said at her trial that he made her watch pornographic videos and wear “slutty” outfits for sex...

At the time of the killing, the couple had been having arguments about their finances. Prosecutors introduced evidence that Mary Winkler had gotten involved in an online Nigerian check-kiting fraud and had written checks for thousands of dollars. That, the prosecution argued, was the real source of the friction in the marriage...

“What’s interesting, Meredith, at the trial, she took out a pair of high heels and she said, ‘This is how I was abused. He made me wear these heels when we were intimate with each other,’...

In America it can take decades for a convicted killer having committed the most heinous of crimes to be finally executed. It is a long protracted process with much legality, appeals and so forth.

Ironically, in the western world, women can forego any such tedious formalities, and assign themselves judge, jury and executioner - in response to the most piffling of misdemeanours, real or imagined, inflicted by their male partners.

The lack of any real sentencing in similar prominent cases sets a precedent for extreme leniency to be dealt in similar subsequent cases, which not only ensures justice itself isn't being administered, but also provides an alluring incentive for those women seeking to despatch their troublesome husbands.

Outdoors mentioned it will be open season on men? At least with a hunted prey it has a chance of survival. In many such cases men are cowardly butchered whilst they sleep or otherwise incapacitated, by way of burning, shooting, poisoning, stabbing, bludgeoning and decapitation. Yet despite guilt being overwhelming proven in many cases, society and the law still fanatically seeks to absolve, sympathise and glorify these savage animals.
