Hospice nurse Donna Scott cared for wealthy land-owner Hamilton Somerville's wife and mother during their final days by managing their pain with prescription drugs. Hamilton and Donna married less than a year after his wife's death, but the word around town was that Donna wasn't faithful. In 2001, Donna frantically called 911, claiming that her husband had choked to death, but the autopsy told a very different tale.
