Mary Winkler was convicted of voluntary manslaughter in the 2006 shooting death of her
husband, Matthew Winkler, the preacher at the Fourth Street Church of Christ in the small town of Selmer, Tennessee. She gained national attention due to public speculation about her motives and mental health, allegations of abuse by her
husband, her brief flight from the state, and again for the brief length of her jail sentence. At the trial it became known that her
husband made her wear stripper
shoes and wigs during intercourse. After the trial she gained more national attention when the show “Snapped” aired a telling of her story and also when the Drive-By Truckers penned the song “The
Wig He Made Her Wear,” including it on their 2010 album The Big To Do.
