The Pastor's Wife is a 2011 biographical television film, starring Rose McGowan as Mary Winkler and based on the true-crime book of the same title by author Diane Fanning.
Concerned neighbors investigate the Winkler home that night, finding Matthew dead in a bedroom with a shotgun wound.
Mary also revealed Matthew tried to tax cheat the money she won in a lottery to pay their bills by having her put it in an account at another bank under her name.
Mary reveals to the court that Matthew was a hypocrite who forced her to dress up like a hooker before they had sex and made her watch online pornography so they could re-enact it even when she did not want to.
Unable to stand it any longer, in the early morning hours, Mary brings out the shotgun and pokes it on her sleeping husband at their bed to wake him up as she wanted to have a serious discussion with him about stopping the abuse.
Variety said, "From the pre-opening credit moment when authorities roll out a shrouded body as concerned neighbors look on, it’s clear “The Pastor’s Wife” is a Lifetime movie like momma used to make ’em: Fact-based, trashy and featuring an imperiled young woman.
