Texas takes its cheerleading seriously, so much so that Texan Wanda Holloway had her 15 seconds of fame because she tried to hire a hit man to bump off the mother of a junior high cheerleader who was Holloway's daughter's rival for a spot on the squad. The idea was to cause the child so much grief that she would withdraw from competition.
Although such a scenario hardly sounds possible, Holloway was convicted in 1991 and sentenced to 15 years in prison. Due to a problem regarding one member of her jury, a second trial was ordered. This time she pled nolo contendere and received a 10-year sentence.
Holloway was released after serving only six months and and spent the remainder of her sentence on probation.
