The sentence was not fair! Winkler is being held 1 hour from me in McMinnville, TN. Her husband was a sex freak, requested lewd acts of his wife, and forced her to roleplay. However, this is not grounds for homicide.

Latest news on this woman: Two days ago she requested custody back of her 3 children. They are currently in the custody of her inlaws.

Winkler's defense attorneys used the "battered, traumatized wife" arguement in court and it worked for her.

It's outrageous and appalling. If a man had shot his wife in the back while she slept would he have gotten "voluntary manslaughter" and a brief prison sentence? If Winkler was a working class minority woman would she have gotten a slap on the wrist? Are the judge, jury and prosecutor ready to take responsibility if Winkler decides to blow someone else away that she doesn't like? Winkler put Meryl Streep to shame with her crying, mousy, abused wife performance.

No it's not fair. She will only do a year and a half of that. She should have gotten life. She planned this, and waited until he was asleep and then shot him in the back because he requested lewd sex acts from her and he would nag her about her practice of writing bad checks and overextending credit limits on cards and then she fled to the Gulf Coast in Alabama. She claimed traumatic stress syndrome. Unbelievable. And people are like vultures against Paris Hilton. This country is going down the drain.
