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.
