There's some justice.[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. 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.Mary Winklers attorneys claimed that she was beaten by her husband. She said at her trial that he made her watch pornographic videos and wear slutty outfits for sex. She said he was controlling and criticized her constantly.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.But the defense said there had been continuing abuse.Whats 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, Pirro said. Thats not abuse. This is ridiculous.]<a href="http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/20296389/ns/today-today_news/t/did-preachers-wife-get-away-murder/" target="_blank">http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/20296389/ns/today-today_news/t/did-preachers-wife-get-away-murder/</a></blockquote>
