Fagan denied bail after murder trial mistrial
William Robert Fagan Sr., held since November 1992 at Frederick County Jail on the charge of killing his wife Deborah Patricia Fagan, faced a bail denial after a two month trial produced no verdict. The judge Mary Ann Stepler denied the bond request without a hearing. The State’s Attorney Jerry F. Barnes opposed bail and said jurors favored conviction in a poll of 12. He indicated the state plans to add conspiracy to commit first degree murder kidnapping and perjury charges and noted Fagan allegedly confessed to inmates while jailed.
