Winkler had choice and took cowardly way out

TO THE EDITOR:

I am writing in regard to the Mary Winkler case. It irritates me this woman gets off scot-free. I was a victim of domestic violence. I lived through torment and pain but I had the courage to walk away.

These people who feel sorry for her are not realizing the kids are the ones who will have to live with this for the rest of their lives ? without a father. Where is the real justice? People say the kids need their mother. They need their father too.

These people should look at all the women on death row or serving life for the exact same thing. Where was the sympathy for those women?

So no, I have no pity for this woman, only her children. There is help out there but she took the coward?s way out. I?m not judging, but what?s fair is fair.
