Invite her to the beer with Coma outing this Friday.

Am I the only one here that thinks she got off REALLY easy?

Not at all.

I wonder who else would shoot their husband in the back if all it meant were two months in jail.

No, you are not alone. I never saw or understood the supposed proof that her husband beat her. Was this jury nullification?

it’s a hard one. how do you look at murder as a response to prolonged abuse? perhaps it is justified as temporary sanity (or insanity) and perhaps it’s inappropriately killing someone instead of leaving home. Did she get off easliy? Yes, probably so. Should she? Hmmm. Im not real clear on this one.

I accept there was probably was abuse (y’all remember those conversations, right?), HOWEVER…

I thought “he needed killin’” was only a valid defense in Texas.

Perry March is in jail for a lot longer on a lot less evidence.

I think all of you “Poor Mary Winkler” types are insane. The complete inability to witness an unjustified, horrific murder of the first degree (which is what Mary Winkler should have been charged with) when looking at this situation only shows the depth to which this new way of thinking (i.e., women’s liberation, feminism) has taken the minds of American women. Any ideology that misconstrues a premeditative murderer into a helpless victim is itself the problem. Along with Mary Winkler, the entire ideology and movement that brought such morally depraved thinking onto this planet should be on trial. And as far as the issues of control, abuse, and oppression are concerned (that keep coming up in every discussion I hear about this crime), these are just the “buzz words” for the rejection of authority, the rejection of personal responsibility and accountability, and a license to engage in any amoral and socially destructive behavior that appeals to the whims of liberated minds! There, I’ve said it–what other men should be saying if they weren’t too whipped to say it. And while we are on the subject, the need for male control is nothing so horrible as you liberationists make it out to be. Leadership is one of the most honorable and morally sublime characteristics of human relationships. For men to be leaders of women and children should be something for women to be proud of, if men are the good leaders they can be and have been throughout human history. Yes, history books are rift with accounts of the failures of men to provide good leadership. So, if a woman, or a church, or a country can find good leadership from a man (and there is no reason to believe that Mr. Winkler provided anything significantly less than good leadership as a pastor, father, and husband) then let the world celebrate his achievements, mourn his death, and despise the deviant criminals (both the one who pulled the trigger and the ones who provided the ideological gun) who took him from his parents, his daughters, and his parishioners.
