Madison, the last week of July, 1962 Close Close
The sad saga of the disgraced former Madison police chief Bruce Weatherly comes to a tragic end on Wednesday July 25 when his wife, Inez, shoots him in the stomach with his own .38 caliber revolver at their home in his native San Antonio, Texas. “I just shot your daddy,” Mrs. Weatherly tells her daughter as she comes downstairs to call police before driving across town to her mother’s house, where she was arrested. Weatherly, 49, dies about an hour later. Mrs. Weatherly, 43, tells investigators she did it because Weatherly had been drinking heavily and was “sick, sick, sick. I couldn’t stand it any longer,” she says, “God forgive me.”

Jury plans have quietly advanced behind the scenes. A pool of Knox Countians tapped for potential service first were asked more than a year ago to fill out questionnaires about the case. Then, COVID-19 hit, creating huge delays in the justice system across Tennessee. Wiggins himself contracted the virus.
Some of the potential jurors quizzed Monday morning had to be reminded of their responses to the questionnaire because it had been so long since they filled it out. The survey asked questions such as their thoughts on the appropriateness of the death penalty and whether a person s mental health or childhood could be weighed when deciding on a sentence.
