Mary Winkler is currently on the stand testifiying in her own murder trial. She's dressed differently than what we have been seeing the last 2 weeks. She's wearing a printed dress and a white sweater. Slightly more conservative than the business suits she wore in the beginning. She has on no makeup and her hair is a little messy.
So far, Mary's testified to physical, emotional and sexual abuse. She told jurors she demanded a divorce from Matthew but that he put his foot down and said no. Her attorney brought out a Wal-Mart bag containing evidence. The bag contained a pair of 3" heels, the type you might see strippers wearing and a brown wig. Winkler's testimony is that Matthew liked for her to dress in a provocative manner for sexual purposes. She also testified that Matthew forced her to watch pornographic images on their home computer. Winkler also told the court that her marriage has been in trouble from the very beginning and only got worse through the years.
Her father and adopted siblings are in the courtroom. They were crying as they listened to Mary's story. Matthew's parents, grandmothers and brother are on the other side of the courtroom. They have sat quietly through this morning's testimony.
The court is in a 10 minute recess. I will post more soon.
