Sentencing Mary Winkler

She faces up to six years in prison, but her lawyers are expected to ask for probation. Winkler could spend less than a year and a half in jail.

Matthew Winkler was shot to death in March 2006 in the home the couple shared with their three daughters.

In April, Mary Winkler was tried for first-degree murder. The jury found her guilty of the lesser crime of voluntary manslaughter. During the trial, Winkler testified about mental and physical abuse she received at the hands of her husband.

She told investigators she accidentally shot her husband after a night of arguing over money and other family matters.
