murder story
Barbara Stager was convicted of murdering her second husband, Allison Russell Stager III, on February 1, 1988. The crime occurred in their home in Durham, North Carolina. Russell was shot while he was in bed. Barbara claimed that the shooting was accidental.
After the investigation, Barbara was charged with first-degree murder. In 1989, she was found guilty of the crime. She was initially sentenced to death. However, this sentence was later overturned due to a procedural issue. A different jury then sentenced her to life imprisonment.
Barbara's life sentence made her eligible for parole in 2009. Despite applying for parole, her requests have been denied. She does have some privileges while in prison. She is allowed to eat outside the prison complex if accompanied by a court-approved sponsor.
Barbara Stager remains incarcerated for the murder of Russell Stager.
