Open season on husbands, I guess:
A Tennessee jury on Thursday found Mary Winkler guilty of voluntary manslaughter in the shotgun killing of her husband.Do you think that having 10 women on the jury helped the defense?
Winkler showed no emotion when the verdict was announced.
The judge ruled that she would remain free on bond until her sentencing, which is scheduled for May 18.
The manslaughter conviction could send Winkler to prison for between three and six years.
Winkler, a 33-year-old mother of three girls, was convicted in the March 22, 2006, slaying of her husband, Matthew, 31, a popular preacher at the Fourth Street Church of Christ in Selmer.
The 10 women and two men deliberated for about six hours, before reaching a verdict.
