Summary Rhonda Glover and Jimmy Joste met in 1989 and there was an immediate attraction between the two. Rhonda was a former beauty queen who had started her own staffing business. Jimmy, 15 years her senior, was a Texas trust fund baby who'd made millions in the oil industry. It wasn't long before the two began dating and moved in together. While the couple was raking in the money hand over fist, they were spending it almost as quickly. Together, the two were high society regulars in the Texas oil crowd. In 1994, the couple had a child together, yet they continued on their wild ride working their way through Jimmy's fortune. He bought her a house in Austin, and even once wrote her a check for $1 million to use for spending money. But, life wasn't quite the fairytale it appeared for the beauty queen and the oilman. Jimmy had a tendency toward violence when he drank, and Rhonda had erratic mood swings. Together their arguments were legendary, bringing in the police on more than a dozen occasions. But, by the end of 2003, the money was dwindling and the relationship was on the rocks. Even worse, the couple's regular fighting and occasional drug use led Rhonda's mom to seek and win custody of the couple's child. On July 26, 2004, Jimmy was found dead in their Austin home, shot 10 times. Police found casings from a Glock pistol scattered near his body. Had an oil deal gone bad? As police investigated all possibilities they learned about the tumultuous relationship between Jimmy and Rhonda, and discovered Rhonda had recently purchased a Glock 9mm Pistol: the same type of weapon used in the murder. However, when they sought out Rhonda for questioning, she was nowhere to be found. Over the next few days they traced her cell phone records to eventually find her and the couple's son in a rented RV in Kansas. Rhonda confessed to killing Jimmy, but insisted she had shot him in self-defense. When the case went to trial, the prosecution claimed that Rhonda had carefully planned and executed the murder, having grown sick of Jimmy after spending all his money, and planning to cash in on a lucrative insurance policy. Rhonda's defense, however, argued Rhonda had been a victim of abuse, and finally had fought back. The jury believed the prosecution. They found Rhonda guilty and sentenced her to 46 years in prison.
