Well…..been busy so I couldn’t post yet about this travesty of justice. Mary Winkler has basically gotten away with murder.
Some random thoughts about this:
First thought: I read somewhere (People magazine, perhaps) that of the 10 women jurors, 5 of them wanted Mary to get off completely. Acquittal. For murdering her husband. My thoughts on this: she shot her freaking husband in the back! Abuse is not justification for shooting someone in the back. That many women buying into the “abuse as justification for murder” crap really makes me wonder if a woman should ever be President.
Next thought: Tell me why the justice system is so screwed up. What makes it ok for a woman to serve hardly any time for murdering her husband while sewage treatment plant employees get almost 3 years in federal prison for falsifying reports?
Are we putting the environment above human life now? If we’re going to do that, we may as well annihilate the human race. We put out carbon dioxide every day!
