A Wayne County woman accused of killing her ex-husband with a meat tenderizer mallet has officially been charged with murder. Officials said 66-year-old Margaret Louise McCoy was originally charged with aggravated assault after her ex-husband, Michael Clayton McCoy, died Saturday morning. District Attorney General Mike Bottoms said the charges against Margaret McCoy were upgraded Monday to second-degree murder. That decision was made after the victim's death was ruled a homicide by the Tennessee Department of Forensic Sciences. Second-degree murder is a Class A felony punishable by 15 to 60 years in prison if convicted. Wayne County Sheriff Ric Wilson said findings of a preliminary autopsy conducted on the 65-year-old man indicated injuries he sustained in a recent assault resulted in his death. Sources with direct knowledge of the case said Monday that the weapon was a meat tenderizer mallet. They said forensics experts were able to match marks found on the man's body with the mallet. Deputies determined that Margaret McCoy was the only other person at the residence when the assault occurred. Wilson said Margaret McCoy is still being held in the Wayne County Jail without bail. She is scheduled to be arraigned yesterday in the courtroom of General Sessions Judge James Ross.

...felony punishable by 15 to 60 years in prison if convicted.

"...words like conviction can turn in to a sentence...tenderness, tenderness, where is that tenderness..."

Yeah, now he’s just an old softie.

Hey! Just cause the guy needed a little tenderizing is hardly murder!

I wonder if she beat a bit of flavor into him as well.

“Yeah, now he’s just an old softie.”

She was just pounding the roughness out of him.

You’ve got to have legal tender if you’re going to order the rock lobster.

She done killed him dead and then she drove to the mall at Waynesboro City Hwy.

There’s a C&W song in here somewhere.

"I'm a meat tenderizer, baby,
I'm gonna tenderize your hide..."

Guess they will miss the Bonaroo music festival this year.

Practice night at the McCoy household.

Has anyone noted that the accused’s maiden name was Hatfield?

“Practice night at the McCoy household.”

I dunno, that Audi looks tender enuff already.

Perfect! LOL ...armed and dangerous!

I can never understand why a person would kill an EX-spouse. They are already divorced and at that age you would think that child custody is mute. She killed him so it was not over money....strange!!!
