Speak Up! Memphis

Court Denies Appeal to Restrict Winkler From Visiting Children

Mary Winkler, who was convicted in April of shooting and killing her husband, Matthew, has been given permission to visit her three daughters under supervision.

A judge first granted permission for Winkler to visit her children on September 19, 2007, but the girls' paternal grandparents, Dan and Diane Winkler, filed a motion to stop the visitation. Winkler was to have her first scheduled visitation on September 29, but the motion was filed the day before.

At this time, a date has not been set for Winkler's first supervised visit.

How do you feel about this? It's your turn to Speak Up! Memphis.

I think she should have her children. The last people that should be raising them is her husband's parents.  They knew what kind of husband and father he was and they did not speak out or try to stop what was going on. Now! they want to act like they are the victims. They stood by for how many years? Watching their Son abuse and control not only the mother, but probably the girls as well.  If the courts don't want Mary to have them then they should at least find another family member to care for the girls.  No telling what kind of garbage they are telling those children everyday. They will try to turn the girls against their mother.  "Give the lady her children back"!  She has already suffered enough!

This woman hasn’t suffered enough, she killed a man in his sleep when she has numerous of times to go get help, then she got off scott free, of course she can see her children, but I think she should not be given the mother title back to her, because she will have to raise 2 young women asking her over and over again, why did you kill our father, and she will have to deal with that for the rest of her life.

I don't believe this woman should be free or have custody of her children. She had many other options rather than kill her husband. Did she not have any friends or family she could trust? There are also shelters and organizations to protect the abused. What kind of an example is she teaching her children? If someone wrongs you, to kill them? Those girls should be able to have supervised visitation with their mother. They should also be taught that there are consequences involved when you break the law, either our laws or those of God.

she loved them enough to blow a hole through daddy with them in the house..greatt role model, mother of the year, completely stable and capable of such great decisions......maybe she should let them wear her shoes and teach them how to shoot too.   Who knows maybe she can turn them into carbon copies of herself. If so they would make someone a good wife!
