[4] He moved to Mount Carmel Center with his wife, Evette (sometimes spelled Yvette), and mother, Doris Adina,[4] both of whom would die in the 19 April 1993 fire.
[1] He sought to join the Seventh-day Adventist ministry after his undergraduate education and transferred to Newbold College where he met David Koresh, the leader of the Branch Davidians, in 1988.
[7] According to an interview with The Sunday Times, Livingstone Fagan only spoke with David Koresh for a few hours before converting.
[11] Fagan was present at the Mount Carmel Center on 28 February 1993 when the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) attempted a raid resulting in a shootout.
[19] Immediately after leaving the Mount Carmel Center on 23 March 1993, he was held in McLennan County jail as a material witness.
[24] In a wrongful death lawsuit in 2000, Fagan wrote in a deposition that he shot at two of the four ATF agents who climbed the roof of the Mount Carmel Center.
[26] Reportedly, Judge Smith called Fagan a "crazy, murdering son of a bitch" – because of this comment and others, the Branch Davidians' attorneys believed Smith should have recused himself, but Department of Justice lawyer Marie Hagen argued that his comments did not show prejudice against the Davidians.
[27][28] According to The New York Times, Fagan was originally sentenced to 40 years in prison – 10 for the voluntary manslaughter conviction and 30 for the weapons charge.
[32] According to an interview with The Sunday Times, he spent only about half of the 30-year sentence[3] in the United States before being deported to Britain in July 2007.
[1] According to Fagan's interview with The Sunday Times, in Virginia he was forced to provide a blood sample to be entered into a DNA database.
[1][34] After 1994, Fagan wrote and published various works of Branch Davidian theology, while incarcerated in the United States and living in Britain.
