'A trial scheduled for Monday had all the makings of a made-for-TV movie, as the ex-wife of a wealthy man was accused of killing him in cold blood in their million dollar home in the Shenandoah area, but she shocked the courtroom when she pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

Jan Waters' walk into court was her last as a free woman for years to come. She confessed to shooting her ex-husband, Alan Waters, in the chest on May 21, 2004. As the facts of the case were read aloud in court, Waters collapsed on one of her attorneys.'
