The court is back in session after a 30 minute break. Families on both sides of the courtroom appear tired and worried. I have seen no interaction between the Freemans and the Winklers. This is certainly a courtroom divided.
Mary is back on the stand. The jury is being seated. Her attorney, Steve Farese is getting ready to question his client. Mary sits with her head bowed and her hands covering her eyes. Mr. Farese just told her it's ok to hold her head up while testifiying. He's handed Mary another piece of evidence to examine. It's a document containing photographs. She is thumbing through the photos. Mary says she's seen the pictures before at their home. The pictures were on the couple's computer and that Matthew was constantly on the internet. When Mary would walk in the room, he would click the screen blank, as to hide whatever it was he was viewing. Now Mr. Farese is showing Mary a photo. Their are shoes in the photo similar to the "hooker shoes" brought into evidence this morning.
The judge has called the attorney's to the stand. Mary is thumbing through the photographs again. She just testified to the images found on Matthew's home computer. The "hooker shoe" and wig from earlier are now entered into evidence. The photos were given to the jury to view.
Keep in mind, this is Mary's testimony. Matthew is dead so he can't speak for himself.

I am glad you pointed out what is sometimes overlooked in cases like this - "Matthew is dead so he can't speak for himself." Whatever the outcome, this should never be forgotten.
Thank you for your fair presentation of what is happening in Selmer.
Yes. Matthew is dead but he sure left behind a terrible legacy to his children.
If Mary winkler was acting on that stand she should get an Oscar.
I don't think she is acting and let that be a lesson to what can happen to people who abuse their spouses. My grandmother always said "if you can't get an abusive man alive, get him when he is sleeping."
Perhaps that is the only way to people who are abused by the one closest to them for years. You do look to your closest people for your identity sometimes. Looks like Mary fulfilled everything he told her she was....ugly, fat, mean.....
