''The Pastor's Wife: The True Story of a Minister and the Shocking Death That Divided a Family'', by author and novelist Diane Fanning, is a true crime account of Pastor Matthew Winkler, who was found fatally wounded from a shotgun blast to his back in 2006 at his Fourth Street Church of Christ parsonage in Selmer, Tennessee. The book was released by St. Martin's True Crime Library in November 2008. The book was the basis for a made-for-TV movie of the same title released by Lifetime Television November 5, 2011.〔(Lifetime Movies, Preview: The Pastor's Wife )〕 ==Case information== Mary Winkler, the pastor's wife, and their three daughters—aged 8, 6 and 1 at the time—were missing when Matthew's body was discovered, and a search for the family began. They were eventually located on a beach in Alabama, and Winkler was charged with the murder of her 31-year-old husband. In the months that followed, events surrounding the crime and the Winklers' marriage were exposed nationally, including Winkler's appearance on ''The Oprah Winfrey Show'' in 2007.〔(Oprah.com, "Mary Winkler's First Interview," September 12, 2007 )〕 In April 2007, Winkler was convicted of voluntary manslaughter in the death of her husband and sentenced to 210 days. She served 67 days of her sentence in a mental health facility. Winkler's defense team, attorneys Steve Farese Sr., Leslie Ballin, Tony Farese and Steve Farese Jr. with investigator Terry Cox, represented their client ''pro bono''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Pastor's Wife (book)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
