I am not familiar with that show (?) but I am guessing it is a tv talk or something?
At any rate, my question is simply: why are we assuming that he (ie, the dead guy on the floor with the holes in his back) drive her to murder?
Now if it had been the other way around, they would all be asking why such an awful man hadn't already been locked up.
Is there a presumption of guilt on the part of the man anytime a man is involved in a crime - even if his involvement is victim?
Is that where we are nowadays?
I guess this is just a logical extension of the NOW gang who thought that Andrea Yates was basically a freedom fighter, a rallying cry for all women....
Unfortunately what has really got me upset is the large number of freepers who go along with the idea that the preacher must be a child molester...after all, the underlying assumption being, it is just not thinkable that it is simply her evil that drove her to this wicked deed - not his.
It may turn out yet that she was justified. But I must say judging by the response of his obviously God-fearing family, I am starting to doubt that.
It appears that the TBI doesn't think he was abusing the children or wife and they are the investigating agency.
This is a quote from TBI spokesperson Jennifer Johnson when she appeared on Larry King Live:
JOHNSON: I think everything about this case is puzzling. I don't think there's any information that could come out that would really make sense of it all and I think that's really where the public is right now. They want some reasonable explanation for this and I think we all have to brace ourselves for the fact that it may never come. They never get a reasonable explanation or a satisfactory answer.
CALLER: I have a question. Could the motive have been that Mr. Winkler could have been abusing his wife or children in any way?
JOHNSON: A lot of people have asked that question and from the very moment that we came upon the scene we actually looked and there's no history of domestic violence. As I said earlier, we can't share the motive but I think, you know, the history does sort of speak for itself.
Elizabeth is one of "us." The *only* one on The View who is, but is, nevertheless. Gets all heck beaten out of her by the others, too.
