MUM'S THE WORD

Although Mary Winkler has confessed to murdering her husband--and is charged with first degree murder, which requires premeditation--police are tight lipped as to why she shot her husband, minister Matthew Winkler. They have indicated they do not believe that the motive involved infidelity. For her to do what she did, though, it would seem to indicate a building conflict, not a momentary flash of passion. My suspicion is that her stated motive is such that the police want to confirm facts independently in order not to muddy the name of others without something solid. I'll refrain from speculating further for the same reason.
