Today sentencing was passed down to Mary for her conviction of voluntary manslaughter, in the death of her husband Matthew Winkler. Out of a possible six year sentence behind bars. She received a total of 210 days, with credit for 143 days served. She can serve 60 of those days in a mental facility of her own choosing. You don't get much time for shooting your husband in the back while he's asleep. Get the full story at the link below:http://www.commercialappeal.com/mca/home/article/0,1426,MCA_435_5576886,00.html
Winkler and daughters 'picked up where we were separated'

HUNTINGDON, Tenn. -- A custody hearing regarding Mary Winkler and her children resulted in little more than a 45-minute closed session in Carroll County Chancery Court chambers today, but afterwards the woman convicted of killing her preacher husband spoke briefly about her relationship with the three daughters.
"My girls are able to be with me, and I'm able to be with them," Winkler said outside Chancellor Ron E. Harmon's courtroom. "We're just moving forward to get back together and make our family and just love each other and take care of each other."
Winkler was convicted of voluntary manslaughter in April 2007 in connection with the shooting death of her husband, Matthew Winkler, a Selmer Church of Christ preacher. She testified that her actions were the result of an abusive 10-year marriage.
Winkler served seven months in custody for the slaying and is on probation for the remainder of her 3-year sentence. She served seven days in jail after her conviction, then 60 more days in a secure facility that dealt with her mental health issues.
Mary Winkler has been in a custody fight for her three daughters with Matthew's parents, Dan and Diane Winkler of Huntingdon. That has led to a series of legal motions from gag orders to protect the children's privacy to questions about how Dan and Diane Winkler are using the trust funds and other money donated for the three daughters.
Today's hearing began with a request by Rebecca McKelvey, who is representing the grandparents, to close the proceedings to the media to protect the privacy of the children. Harmon heard the argument regarding some of the specific issues in chambers. That lasted about 45 minutes, and the chancellor emerged saying they had discussed the matters regarding the trust, and the proceedings would be recessed for the day. He also said matters regarding the adoption of the children were discussed in chambers. The court records have been sealed.
McKelvey and the grandparents declined comment after the hearing.
Mary Winkler's attorney, Kay Farese Turner, also declined comment, other than to say Winkler "is happy to see her children," and that a hearing on the custody question should be held within the next three months.
Asked if she and the girls had re-established their relationship, Mary Winkler replied: "There was nothing to develop. My girls are my girls, and I'm their mother. We were just put back together, and we picked up where we were separated."
