She Got Away With Murder

This shows what can happen if you take a case to trial. You never know which way a jury is going to vote. A good attorney can poke holes in even a solid case. Let alone a weak one. This went from a capital murder case down to voluntary manslaughter. I think this defense is nothing more than something concocted by the defense team. Before the other day we never heard anything about Matthew Winkler being abusive.Is their any record anywhere of domestic violence on this man? Reaching this verdict relied solely on "the battered woman syndrome".

The prosecution dropped the ball by seating a ten woman two man jury. The defense played on the sympathy of the female jurors. Ms. Winkler had the premier defense team in the Mid-South. Steve Farese and Leslie Ballin have developed quite an impressive track record. They took this case pro bono and were able to convince others to do the same. I have never seen so many people celebrating and rejoicing. A man getting shot in the back while he was asleep.
