Actually reading the story, we find: "Winkler, 33, went on trial for first-degree murder in April, but a jury found her guilty of the lesser crime of manslaughter after she testified she was physically and emotionally abused by her husband, Matthew Winkler. She testified during her trial that her husband hit and kicked her, forced her to look at pornography and demanded sex she considered unnatural. Jurors were shown a pair of tall, platform shoes and a black wig Winkler said she was pressured to wear during sex." Apparently, the jury believed her testimony. And there's *tons* of stuff on the "Why didn't she just leave him?" question as it pertains to people who stay in abusive relationships. That's how it's possible.
