she murdered her husband. and we should've praised her for being a good christian for not leaving or divorcing her husband? right.
I think she said it accidently went off...
She was just trying to tell him to STOP...
She said STOP.
When she said STOP, she means.... Stop abusing her.
She didn't mean to kill him. She just wanted to scare him.
Wife who shot preacher guilty of manslaughter - CNN.com
Freeland told jurors that Mary Winkler showed her intentions when she went to a bedroom closet, got a 12-gauge, pump-action shotgun and pointed it at her husband.
The gun did not go off on its own, he said during closing arguments Wednesday night, calling the defendant's version of events "ludicrous."
The defense portrayed Mary Winkler as a victim of physical, sexual and psychological abuse who shot her husband by accident during an argument.
Defense attorney Steve Farese said prosecutors did not prove Winkler fired intentionally. But during his closing argument he left open the possibility she might be guilty of a lesser charge.
"Have they proven any crime? Well -- and this is hard for me to say -- maybe," Farese said. "Maybe she was negligent.".
Some of the jurors wept when the Winklers' oldest daughter, Patricia, testified for the prosecution about her father's slaying. The 9-year-old said she heard a loud boom and a thump. When she ran into the bedroom, she saw her father's body lying on the floor.
