ATLANTA - Emotions ran high in a Fulton County Superior courtroom Thursday morning where a man went back and forth on his decision to plead guilty to murdering his ex-girlfriend.

The victim's family watched it all unfold and finally heard Calvin Myers admit to the crime.

Myers was facing charges of felony murder, malice murder on top of an initial charge of aggravated assault in the killing of the mother of his children.

Roswell police say Meyers bashed 40-year-old Minka R. Grogan -- the father of two of Grogan's four children -- with a rock. He says Meyers also crashed his car into the front of her townhome.

An unnamed man who was upstairs showering came out when he heard the car crash. He told police he was there to mow her lawn.

Police say Meyers chased him with a butcher knife, but the man managed to escape.

Myers is expected to be formally sentenced next week.
