injustice....

here in TN, you may have heard about the preacher's wife (Mary Winkler)

She shot her husband while he was in bed. She shot him in the back with a shotgun. Then she fled the scene with the kids and they found/arrested her at the beach in alabama.

Her defense team claimed years of physical abuse. I watched every minute of the trial. Not one piece of evidence of physical abuse was presented. Not one photo, not one doctor's report, not one women's shelter photo, nothing.
It was all "emotionally based" testimony.

The jury gave her voluntary manslaughter with time served. She was locked up for about 7 months total.

Sorry to side rail from the OP and thanks all for the responses.
