Wanda Holloway, known as the "Pom-Pom Mom," attempted to have a fellow school mom murdered in 1991 after her daughter lost a spot on a cheer squad. Her plan was revealed when her ex-husband's brother reported it to the police. Holloway was convicted of solicitation of capital murder and initially sentenced to 15 years, but a mistrial led to a plea deal. She served six months in prison and completed nine-and-a-half years on probation, along with community service. The case is featured in the documentary series "The Texas Cheerleader Murder Plot," which aired on December 18, 2024. Holloway's daughter, Shanna, shares her experiences and emphasizes her mother's humanity despite the crime.
