"She misses her daughters, but she's staying busy"

Yep, busy as a bee hanging out in bars after killing her husband; Mary Winkler confessed to killing her preacher husband in March of last year but instead of hanging out behind bars in prison, a href=”http://wkrn.com/nashville/news/mary-winkler-making-news-around-town/75162.htm”she is hanging out in bars /aaround McMinnville, Tennessee partying with co-workers (Thanks to the reader who sent me this story):br /br /blockquoteLuis Correa was also in the New York Grill on New Year’s Eve and took pictures of Winkler with his camera phone. He claims someone went over to Winkler’s table and asked if she killed her husband. He said she answered yes, in a joking manner and everyone around her was laughing. br /br /News 2 spoke with Winkler’s manager at the dry cleaners where she’s employed. Her manager said it was on New Year’s Eve that he and Winkler went out to New York Grill. He also said, “She’s not the preacher’s wife. She might have used to be the preacher’s wife, but he is dead now. She’s not married; she is no body’s wife.” br /br /The issue of Winkler and the murder case is a divisive issue in McMinnville. Some have supported her, saying she did everything the justice system asked of her and has every right to be part of the community. Others don’t think that is enough./blockquotebr /br /In another article about the crime, a href=”http://articles.news.aol.com/news/_a/abuse-led-preachers-wife-to-kill-husband/20061120102809990032?ncid=NWS00010000000001″ABC news reports/a:br /br /blockquoteWhat’s striking to many outsiders is how accepting and supportive the majority of the community has been to Winkler.br /br /That sense of forgiveness, community members say, stems from the town’s Christian roots and from its tendency to give people the benefit of the doubt.br /br /Winkler’s daughters are currently living with Matt’s parents.br /br /”She misses her daughters, but she’s staying busy,” said Miller, of her sister. “She’s the loving Mary we used to know.”/blockquotebr /br /Yes, it’s always best if you miss your kids and you are up on murder charges to hang out in a bar and laugh it up–it boggles my mind what people are willing to forgive, depending a href=”http://tammybruce.com/2006/05/oj_simpson_hits_bottom_digs.php”on your race /aand/or gender.br /br /strongUpdate/strong: Winkler’s attorney is a href=”http://www.jacksonsun.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070203/NEWS01/702030309″outraged by the photos /aof his client smoking in a bar.
