Day 1 of Mary Winkler's Trial...

We are waiting for Mary Winkler's trial to start at the McNairy County Courthouse. She is sitting in court with her attorneys. Mary is wearing a dark pant suit with a white shirt underneath. She has a cross around her neck and continues to wear her wedding ring. She has on no make up. Mary shows no emotion as she waits for her trial to begin.

The courtroom is packed with friends and family of Matthew and Mary Winkler. However, Matthew's parents are not in court. His brother Daniel, wife Holly, uncle Mike Winkler and Matthew's grandmother are here too. Mary's father Clark Freeman is sitting behind Mary in the courtroom. So is Kathy Thompson, a family friend who Mary is currently living with.

The judge is now seated at the bench. I will blog more once opening arguments begin.
