Right - too time consuming and just what does that do to the term "newscaster"?
Makes me realize that I should never have believed any of the elaborate reports on prior high profile cases. Hours of watching wasted because it could have all been lies unchecked.

I think there's a medical term for women who shoot their husbands in the back.

I heard a rumor that she had rented a place to stay before she shot him. Is that true?

I'm beginning to wonder if there has been a new drug to treat post partum depression that may have serious consequences.Hmmm. Interesting. I presumed existing medication would work fine but there might be something new.
Also, abuse of the daughters would be very easy to check considering their ages.

Lies unchecked, "legaleeze" and so on. I wonder if the "truth" is in there somewhere at all.

I imagine here psychosis refers not to going bonkers enough to rampage but a clinical "loss of contact with reality."
In most cases it would be confined to "losing contact with reality", but in some cases it will result in a psychotic episode, such as when a woman drowns her own baby. I'm no doctor, but i've read a lot on this subject.
A clinical psychotic episode wouldn't turn a person into a psychopath.
Does a single pyschotic episode really make someone technically a psychopath?
To: Dark Skies
You are only assuming that Mary Winkler might of been suffering from postpartum blues. I doubt it since the baby was over a year old. I think we should just wait and see what comes out, otherwise, it is just gossip.

None of the "facts" about the timeline have been confirmed by anyone in the know, save for a few things established by LE at the time of Mary Winkler's arrest.
The very last word I saw from Orange Beach police in AL or perhaps Selmer PD who transported her back to TN was that the "condo" (which is not the motel room where she was about to stay on Thursday night) was rented after the murder took place.
There is a ton of misinfo floating around and it's taking quite a bit to track things down to their origins.

That is not true. This is a local story for us.

Does a single pyschotic episode really make someone technically a psychopath?As I understand it, they are completely unrelated. For the most part the word "psychopath" has been replaced with the word "sociopath," both used to describe a person who is devoid of conscience.
Someone suffering a psychotic episode would most likely be a sufferer of depression or bipolar disorder or other disorder that was in a sufficiently disraught state so as to be delusion.
Psychotics don't usually commit murder...though they may harm their children if they are severly depressed or delusional or if they believe they are hearing voices.

Even Geraldo was way off base calling him a Pentecostal preacher. LOL, I hadn't heard that. Next they'll be saying she killed him for forcing her to drink poison and handle snakes.

Something tells me the father may have been abusing the children (or one of the children) and the mother may have just found out about it and snapped. Why else would she kill him,then take the kids and run? It just seems to me like she was trying to just get away from him,away from the whole situation.It's really very sad...very sad,indeed.The kids are the innocent victims in this whole situation,as they usually end up being,time and time again.

You are only assuming that Mary Winkler might of been suffering from postpartum blues. No, actually, I don't think that was the motive.
But I don't think it is gossip to speculate on what the motive might have been. Gossip usually is defined to include a vicarious pleasure derived from revealing or listening to the alleged secrets of another. If speculation about a legal case is gossip, then Court TV is the "gossip channel" and law schools are filled with...oh never mind.

Of course, pyschotics don't usually commit murder. However, with post partum psychosis it happens sometimes and maybe just due to the fact that the victim is a helpless baby and it can be done so quickly and easily before the mother even comes to her senses.
In this case, the Matthews back was turned when Mart shot him. If his back weren't turned, she might not have been able to do it as he may have been able to move out of the way or overpower her.
Or maybe Mary was trying to hurt or kill her baby or herself and Matthew tried to stop her and so she turned the gun on him?
