She just wanted out…
SELMER, Tenn. - A preacher’s wife accused of murdering her husband said Wednesday that he punched and kicked her, forced her to have sex and refused to grant her a divorce.
Testifying in her murder trial, Mary Winkler told jurors her husband, Matthew, was a smart and talented man, but could also be mean in both his actions and words.
“I just wanted out,” she said. “He just could be so mean.”
This story makes me really sad…This women felt so cornered and so trapped that killing her husband was her only option. During the trial, she talked about how he forced her to do things she didn’t want to do in the bedroom and kicked her in the face or used a belt when they were fighting. Everything was her fault, from a problem with their children to the rain.
My heart really bleeds for a situation like this.
