Mary Winkler killed her husband and will have to serve 7 days in prison.
Technically, they gave her time served while she was in jail attending her trial, but it was a total of 210 days. Time served with 60 days in the hospital, 7 days in prison and then probation.
With todays domestic violence resources, to stay in an abusive relationship and claim self defense doesn’t make sense. And this case has some weird actions by her over money and no history of abuse.
Anyways, 7 days for murder of an alleged abusive husband shows why mens rights needs to be on equal footing in this country. This is disrespectful and the DA should appeal the sentence. If the scenario was reverse, NOW would be in large protests across america, and elected government officials would be making statements to the news.
