More Mary...

It's been a long morning of testimony in the Mary Winkler murder trial. On the stand, she accused her husband of punching and kicking her, forcing her to have sex and refusing to grant her a divorce.

Mary told jurors her husband, Matthew was a smart and talented man, but could also be mean in both his actions and words.

Prosecutors paint a very different picture of the Church of Christ minster, with witnesses describing Matthew as a good father and husband.

Mary testified this morning that Matthew kicked her in the face during an arguement. She also says he hit her in the face, pushed her down and hit her with a belt.

Mary also told jurors Matthew kept her away from her family and criticized her appearance. She also eluded to sexual abuse while on the stand.

Currently, prosecutors are cross examining Mary.
