The New Orlean's District Attorney’s office secured a murder indictment, Thursday, against a Tennessee woman accused in the February death Patrick Murphy in New Orleans.
According to Skook News, Magen Hall was charged with armed robbery, obstruction of justice and second-degree murder of distinguished Pottsville businessman Patrick Murphy, in the three-count indictment handed up by an Orleans Parish grand jury.
Hall has remained jailed since her March 3 arrest, in lieu of a $750,000 bond set for the murder allegation. Criminal District Judge Camille Buras left that bond unchanged after the indictment was read. She deferred setting bond on the two additional charges brought by the grand jury for the judge to whom Hall’s case gets randomly allotted.
Hall faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison if convicted on 2nd degree murder.
Assistant District Attorney Inga Petrovich presented the case to the grand jury.
