Trial resumes in Hagan Chance murder case
The second week of the Hagan and Chance murder trial opened with Patrolman Jordan’s testimony and Chance’s confession in court. Prosecutors argued the confessions were admissible despite defense objections, and the judge allowed the police accounts of Chance’s statements. Jordan recounted Chance admitting Hagan killed the drug clerk and described the staged overcoat and disguise, while Inspector Shields and Sergeant O'Neil testified on arrests and interviews. Judge Bishop overruled a motion for a separate trial and the Commonwealth aims to finish its case today.
