What Drove The Preacher’s Wife?

Mark Johnson writes: “The L.A. Times had a haunting narrative this week on a preacher’s wife who killed her husband with a turkey gun. The writer, Peter H. King, makes it more than just a crime story. It’s a story about a small town that seems to be living in a different time when church elders held power and people kept each other’s secrets.”

Read the story: If the minister’s widow can be believed — and, accused of his murder, she might prove less than reliable — Matthew Winkler’s last, gasping utterance before he left this world was a question, one that would haunt this town for months to come, haunts it still: Why?
