Jeanine Pirro: Mary Winkler ‘Committed a Homicide and Got Away With It…She Says She Was Abused with no Absolutely History, no Shred of Evidence’
“I think it sends a terrible message about the criminal justice system, that you can commit a homicide and literally get away with it. Justice was definitely not served here. You had a preacher, who by all accounts was loved in his community, who was shot in the back while he slept.
“You have a woman who says she was abused with absolutely no history, no shred of evidence….battered women who really are battered have to look at this and say this is a total miscarriage of justice…
“At the trial, she took out a pair of high heels and she said, ‘This is how I was abused. He made me wear these heels when we were intimate with each other.’ That’s not abuse. This is ridiculous.”–Former judge and prosecutor Jeanine Pirro, on the Today Show
On the Today Show, former judge and prosecutor Jeanine Pirro, condemned the criminal justice system for it’s kid gloves treatment of husband-killer Mary Winkler. She noted how “strange” it was that during the sentencing the judge talked about “days” as opposed to “years” in a homicide case. Mary Winkler shot Matthew Winkler (pictured) in the back and allowed him to bleed to death for 20 minutes.

[I'm really starting to like Pirro--unlike many media commentators, she seems to be willing to hold women accountable for their behavior. In June, she and I appeared together on Fox's nationally-syndicated Morning Show with Mike and Juliet to discuss the Texas frozen embryo case. The case involves Augusta Roman, who wants to have children with her ex-husband Randy Roman, who is refusing. I sparred with Augusta's attorney while Augusta turned on the waterworks for the cameras. Pirro wasn't buying it, stating matter-of-factly that August had no case. To watch a video of the show and to learn more about the case, click here.]
Did preacher’s wife get away with murder? Mary Winkler released after serving just 67 days for killing husband

Mary Winkler, the Tennessee woman who shot her minister husband to death while he slept, was released back into society this week after serving just 67 days, most of it in a prison hospital.
Did she get away with murder? Many think she did, including two TODAY experts, former judge and prosecutor Jeanine Pirro, and forensic psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow.
“You can’t give Mary Winkler, in my opinion, any kind of clean bill of health that she won’t be violent in the future,” Ablow told TODAY host Meredith Vieira on Thursday.
“I think it sends a terrible message about the criminal justice system, that you can commit a homicide and literally get away with it,” added Pirro. (more…)

Lot’s see, a woman can kill her children and expect others to support her. She can trash her family and walk out. But a man asking his wife to wear heels (And lots of us think women look very sexy, calves flexed, butt out, boobs up… smile.) is now an offense so vile tha shooting him in the back is seen as fair for such “abuse”.
Women slap men and kick them in the balls in movies and sometimes real life and it’s called humor. Asking her to wear high heels is a crime.
I can’t imagine that he “made” her… if she was so weak that she felt debased in heels, she should have put on her “boots are made for walkin” attidue on… and marched her killer ass on down the road. Mabye he told her Jesus wanted her to make her man happy by wearing heels… and she just didn’t know right from wrong.

“attitude” not “attidue” although somehow that word looks like it could work into something. Still dealing with chemo and worse than normal typos.

I’m glad to read Glenn Sacks report that Jeanine Pirro is a changed woman, Yet I’m glad Andrew Cuomo was elected Attorney General of NY. He was dumped by one of the Kennedy women. When his father was the governor if NY, he vetoed joint custody legislation

Feminists are correct when they say, “Women in America are treated unequally.”
August 16th, 2007 at 2:01 pm
Once again we get to see how women have gamed the system in their favor. They have played the “victim” to their advantage and now can commit all manner of crimes including murder and get away with it.

Emily’s List is the wealthiest and most powerful PAC. They lobby for women seeking elected office. This includes elected judges. They regularly monitor court rooms and judges that rule against women and work to get them replaced. Judges fear them. It influences their judicial judgement. They assume that the audience in court includes an Emily’s List operative. It is a corruption of the legal system. The journalist that does extensive research on this and produces air-tight documented evidence that stands up to the smear and scrutiny from feminists will win a Pulitzer Prize. IMO.

Women have been murdering children in utero for years. What is the big deal here. It is the “law of the land.” We need more hate crime legislation.

This revolting case reflects feminists’ perversion of America’s “justice” system.
And Denis is perfectly correct in bringing up “Emily’s List” – feminists’ means of replacing judges who fail to kowtow to women’s superior rights with their judges who are willing to rule against men, in favor of women.
In fact, I have often wondered whether MRA ought to start flexing their political muscles through a campaign to have one or more judges involved in TOTAL miscarriages of justice (such as this particular case!, spend the time, energy, and money to see that/those judge(s) REPLACED…… and use that/those instances as a springboard to launch an MRA-based equivalent PAC to “Emily’s List”.
By the way………… to George and others who still want American men to risk their lives and livelihoods through the act of marrying, do you realize how this court case (and similar instances where murderous women kill their husbands with impunity): whatever the odds (and I’m sure that those odds are long) – that OTHER women will read of Winkler’s slap on the wrist for murdering her husband and realize that THEY can kill their husbands and simply claim “abuse” no matter that there is no evidence?
Another good reason to stay unmarried, at least until American men receive the same legal rights and protections as women already receive in my opinion……

By the way, I applaud Jeanine Pirro for NOT behaving as the rest of the MSM behaves in such travesties…… and applaud Glenn Sacks for writing about the daily occurrences of gender apartheid.

I encourage all posters interested to check out the feminist ideology behind the DV INDUSTRY that makes the injustice shitstem what it is today — a feminist black robe tyranny against men.
Spend fifteen minutes and Google “Duluth Model.”
This is the toxic belief system that has corrupted domestic violence law, family law, schools’ persecution of boys, and corporate sexual harassment policies.
Duluth IS THE LAW in practice. (It has been adopted in every county circuit court in America. The law is local. And this has all been funded by VAWA, giving counties money to adopt and enforce this feminist ideology.)
Under the prevailing Duluth Model DV laws, “ignoring her needs” is abuse.
Asking her to “live within a budget” is abusive.
Not talking to her (”the silent treatment”) is violence.
Denying her sex is psychological abuse.
Asking her where she is spending her evening is abuse.
Suggesting that one of her friends is a negative influence is violence.
In fact, in our law system today, refusing to give a woman anything she wants, questioning any belief or desire she has, expressing concern about her wellbeing — it is all abuse.
That is the LAW!
August 16th, 2007 at 9:16 pm
this proves it.
the law means absolutely nothing.
August 16th, 2007 at 10:19 pm
Well folks its not law you are talking about. We have not lived under “real law” for nearly 80 years. What we have is statues, ie private laws under either equity or admiralty juridiction ( or some colourable variation ie “statutory law”).
Your probably wondering ” what the hell is this guy talking about” Well its simple.
I’ll get right to the point. In the olden days we had common law, you could do anything you wanted to, provided you did not harm someone else or damage their property. We don’t have this system ie ” a system of law” anymore.
We have a “legal system” based on equity/admiralty. In simple english, a system based on commercial law and contracts. We contract everything and the constitution is meaningless. ( hell, even George Bush said the constitution was just a God damned piece of paper, SIEG HEIL George)
It is under this ” contract law” we have given women ” special priviledges” which have caused them to become socially. legally and morally irresponsible. The more we let them get away with the more they try! They have been led to believe that they can run rough shod over men and anyone else who gets in their way. ( Ie the the thirty million abortions of unborn children who just got in the way.)
It will get to the point , that men will have to get guns to stop them and will have to take out the ” government terrorist” who backed this little rebellion and orchestrated this little “failed social engineering experiment” to put an end to it.
Basically the governments, all of them, are broke and they use the people to fund their little Ponzi scheme. The chaos they create, by the imbalanced legal system, is just another facet of this little money making scheme. What these idiots do not understand and have not took into account is that if society falls apart because of this little racket, then the people they hurt are going to come after them.
My guess it that they will either run and run fast or if the people get their hands on them. Well.. It is unlikely they will live long enough to stand trial.
We will have one horrific mess on our hands and a lot of spoiled rotten women to reeducate. I just hope that if this does happen and I am fearful that it will. people won’t forget and let it happen again.

any man who gets married is a fool.
August 17th, 2007 at 6:12 am
yes, there are good women and some are in good marriages. the odds are not in the mans favor, however. its simple really. we all know that we can go 80 in a 70 and get away with it time and time again. we also know that its only a matter of time before our number is up, so most adults drive closer to 70 than 80. smart men think and act smart, stoopit men get caught in untenable situations. long term security should trump short term gratification. women are better at that then men, at least up to this point in history. it remains to be seen by future generations of boys, if men wise up……….or not!

I briefly sat on a jury in LA county (before I was assigned as an alternate and promptly told the judge my opinion and got removed) for a domestic violence case involving physical violence between a father and his wife and her mother.
Many of the women jurors in court openly said that they didn’t think a man had a right to hit a woman for ANY reason. Many of the men also expressed similar sentiments. The judge did nothing to remove or even in many cases, question the jurors’ prejudice.
I told the woman judge straight out that I had been attacked by a woman but advised by my attorney not to press charges because the police would probably just make a case against me despite the clear evidence otherwise. The judge told me to shut up and the next day, had me leave the courtroom (a lawyer told me he thinks she wanted me to come in the next day before dismissing me just to get me out of bed and have to come in.)
Gentlemen, “Emily’s list” isn’t necessary to get a courtroom set up that’s biased in favor of women against men. Public opinion already supports them.
For starters, though, aware men shouldn’t marry women who hold a feminist agenda. And I don’t just mean radical equality. I mean women who view men as servants to hold open their doors, tell off men, order men around, etc. Lots of women here in the states are not “feminists” but they clearly have an “us against men” attitude. I know lots of men who are “conservative” but nonetheless marry commie-liberal women. Women have had the message for quite some time that “the political is the personal”.
August 17th, 2007 at 9:37 am
if a man physically attacks you, you try to knock his teeth out.
if a woman physically attacks you, you should do the same thing.
it is all self defense.
what the jurors are saying in PK’s case is that women have a right to attack men without fear of self defense. Ludicrous.
