And it begins

The courtroom at the courthouse here in Huntingdon, TN is filled with media, gawkers and members of the Winkler family. An attorney for the Winkler's tried to get the media shut out of any discussions about the children and the money in an account set aside for them. The judge denied that request which was a relief to many of us.
Right now the Winkler's attorney is clarifying why the trust for the children was set up at the church where Mr. Winkler preaches. His case is the fund was not set up specifically for the children therefore it does not directly belong to the children and Mary Winkler has no claim over it.

We've learned there was a $535,000 life insurance policy being held by the court.
