[She murdered her husband with a shotgun, shot him while he was sleeping. Does virtually no time in jail, and now gets her children back.]

Mary Winkler's children will now be living with her

8/2/2008

According to WMC-TV in Memphis, Mary Winkler has picked up her children from their grandparent's house with the intention of having them live with her.

A judge approved it without issuing a written court order.

A jury in Selmer convicted Mary Winkler of voluntary manslaughter in the shooting death of her preacher husband Matthew in 2006.

Matthew's parents got temporary custody of the girls when Mary was arrested. Mary Winkler has been in a custody battle since she got out of prison last year.

Winkler will live with her children in Smithville a town outside of McMinnville. They'll stay in a house owned by the preacher who heads the Church of Christ congregation Mary attends.
