Comments on: Wife Sentenced For Killing Preacher

Tennessee Woman, Who Said Husband Abused Her, May Only Have To Serve 60 Days In A Mental Hospital

Paris 45 days?? Mary Winkler possibly 60 days?? Hmm breaking probation for a traffic offense-- murdering your husband. thats fair!!LOL

I think the verdict in this case is a little skewed.She should have gotten the maximum sentence.I think six years for voluntary manslaughter is also a joke, she should have received the maximum. Using abuse as an excuse after she never told anyone about it until she killed her husband is very deceptive. I was mentally and emotionally abused by a husband at one point in my life. I even had his murder planned and I decided that I should just walk away. I left him, and although I did go through some hard times, I still came out with a very good life. I think everyone has times when they want to kill their husband or wife, but most do not act on the urge. When I left my abuser, I was not working, had very little money, and had to stay with friends until I could get on my feet. But I did it without killing anyone. She could have gone to her family or friends. I'm sure they would have taken her and her children into their homes. Even a women's shelter would have been better than killing him.

I am confident that if the "preacher husband" had shot his wife in the back as she lay in bed, he would have received life without parole. Double standard-pure and simple. There is seldome justice in today's court system... I am appalled.

Only three years? ***? For murder? Dam it cost me thousands over the course of three years to divorce my wife, maybe her plan was better than mine?

Her late husbands family should offer her forgiveness.

Feminists strike again!!!!

The legal system has been so corrupted by shrieking, hysterical lesbians (aka "feminists") that it cannot be rightfully called a "justice system."

Men are on death rows all across the US for murdering a spouse or girlfriend. And, many of them had far more justifiable reasons than "He made me mad."

All men who murdered their wives or girlfriends should be immediately released from prison if they have served over sixty days.

oh bs that women have it bad. thats just yer hormones misfiring. and just why would women want to fight in wars. no one wants to fight in a war, if you do then youv'e got some f***ed up issues! women have it easier here that just about everyother country in the world and thats because they're exactly equal to men. now this chick here, is an example of a woman being treated far better than a man would have been. clew, im tellin ya- women have it just as easy or hard as anyone else in the world.

is funny though, when the first headlines came out about this woman, everyone was on her side. now eveyones on his. gotta love it.

Can we let the South retroactively secede from the Union?

[hawksprings]

Why doesn't she get an ankle bracelet and 23 days at home?

A 17 year old male goes to prison for 10 years for getting a BJ from a 15 year old girl at a party in GA and a preachers wife kills her husband and gets 3 years but will only serve 7 months. Sound about right! NOT!!! Whats wrong with this picture?

[dylanxxv]

This is an outrage...She should either be in prison for the rest of her sorry life or executed...

[clew37]

Don't keep pulling out the same old line, "they don't have the draft". Every other country in the world lets its women fight in wars, just the sexist egotistical bstrds here that don't. Probably don't want to be shown up on the firing range. Women have been stuck in a war since the day they were born. If they're not attacked at home, at school, on the street, and work...Just be glad all you have to do is write in here and whine. Just in the time I've written this 15 girls have been raped to death in the US. Don't you dare tell me we've got it easy!

[shanev137]

you are right blue.

women are only interesting in "equal rights" when it only happens to serve their selfish interests.

no wonder the whole "womens lib thing" went bust in the 90's.

[ravencrowboo]

If you were not at the trial, do not know the law, did not hear the evidence, did not read the jury instructions or listen to the respective counsel, did not read the police reports, the autopsy reports or listen to the witnesses then you have no clue as to whether the sentence was fair or not. Do your homework, then comment

[sasi1-2009]

Good grief; kill your husband & get less time than Martha Stewart had to serve? Something just doesn't add up here.

OPEN SEASON ON HUSBANDS!

NO BAG LIMIT!

NO WEAPONS RESTRICTIONS!

NO CLOSED SEASONS!

SO THE NEXT TIME YOU ASK YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER TO PUT ON THE STOCKINGS AND LINGERIE FOR SOME FREAKY GEAKY REMEMBER THAT IS HER OPENING TO HUNT AND KILL YOU!

THEN THE WOMENS GROUPS WILL COME TO HER AID AND SHE WILL GET OFF!

BUT THE WOMENS GROUPS WONT STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND SUPPORT WOMEN REGESTERING FOR THE DRAFT LIKE THE MEN HAVE TO. THEY WANT EQUAL RIGHTS UP TO A POINT! THEY THEY USE THE GENDER ESCAPE CLAUSE!

[prolegomena]

Pastors, by and large, regardless of denomination, are about the most meek people on the planet. You'll always find exceptions, but geeze... this is really overkill... no pun intended.

[sty1]

Ha Ha Ha preachers are worth nothing. I have always known this. Keep going, more please. I love to see preachers getting their justice. falwell gone an now this. What a wonderful world.

FARTKNOCKER2: I live in Tenn, I was married to an abusive wife. Fifteen years ago, I was arested for abuse when I had to fight off an abusive wife. She finally showed her fangs to the DA, and they dropped the case. My point is Tenn is still the wife is right know matter what. Unless you can prove it. I got lucky, I almost went to jail for something I didn't even do. If this lady was an abused women she should have went to the cops not killed him. She could have at least just shot him between the legs or somewhere that does'nt kill the guy.

Men are more evil than women...it is that Y gene...she should have shot his balls off first!
