Story here. Excerpt:

'A woman is charged with the shooting death of her husband before dawn Monday in their home south of Macclenny, according to the Baker County Sheriff's Office.

Investigators said Meloney Jackson borrowed a gun from a neighbor, entered the house in the 7000 block of John Rowe Street and shot Kevin Jackson.
...
"She was telling me how her husband had threatened her and they were going to court on Tuesday, and she needed a gun right now," Krall said.

He said he knew something was not right and went directly to the sheriff's office when the woman left his store.

Channel 4's John Dunlap was told that the Jacksons were in the process of getting a divorce. It was to be finalized at a hearing set for Tuesday.'

Threatened her? Another case where the defendant will cite no evidence for justifying her actions except for the occasional threat. If she cries enough, she might even get her kids back after the trial.

Right u are. That's the exact thing Mary Winkler did. It seems that's what all women do. A single threat somehow is justification to kill somebody. Of course they don't look for corroboration. Apparently, it's okay to just shoot first and ask questions later.
