Wanda Stanley will be spending time in a state prison, after pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter, as part of a plea bargain offered by prosecutors.
Stanley was on trial for two weeks, accused of fatally shooting her husband, John Stanley, Sr., in December of 2008. She was initially charged with felony and malice murder.
