The five-part miniseries “Waco: The Aftermath” on Showtime lives up to its title in every manner possible, and it is equally perplexing, compelling, and eerie. After all, it provides us with a thorough understanding of the entire sequence of events that occurred after the devastating 51-day ATF siege on Branch Davidian sect members in Texas in 1993. Livingstone Fagan was one of them, so if you just want to know more about him, his history, his adventures, and his current position, we’ve got you covered.
Who is Livingstone Fagan?
Although Livingstone was born in Jamaica in 1959, his family decided to move when he was only five years old in 1964 in the hopes of finding better prospects. As a result, Livingstone spent most of his childhood in the UK. Thus, he completed his high school education in Nottingham before enrolling at Manchester University to obtain a bachelor’s degree in environmental science. It just so happened that he met his wife at Manchester University. Following their marriage, the couple made their home and welcomed two devoted girls into their lives, all the while the former was attempting to enlist in the Seventh-Day Adventist ministry.
By 1988, when he met attractive sect leader David Koresh, Livingstone was actually enrolled at the Newbold College of Higher Education to further his aspirations. Even though they only chatted for a short while, that was enough for the former to become a Branch Davidian. Despite this, he nonetheless finished his education in 1989 and interned in a Leicester church the next year. He had to relocate to the Mount Carmel Centre in Waco in 1992 with his wife, mother, kids and a sister when his pastor licence was cancelled after his true beliefs were made public.
Livingstone, a very intelligent biblical scholar whose primary duty at the compound was to disseminate David’s religion, according to sources, ended up with a gun in his hand. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) agents attempted to serve a warrant on the latter on February 28, 1993, but were unsuccessful. He really admitted firing at them. Fortunately, neither he nor his family were hurt during the subsequent nearly three-hour shootout, but regrettably, on the final day of the siege, in the mysterious April 19 fire, he did lose his mother and wife.
Due to the heated FBI discussions taking place at this time, Livingstone and his girls had already left the property on March 23, 1993, not realising they would never return. The former was nonetheless almost immediately detained as a material witness, only for him to soon be prosecuted in connection with the botched raid that resulted in the deaths of four federal agents. Before a former Branch Davidian testified against him, a colleague agent’s confirmation of his identity as a shooter from a lineup supported the charges of murder, conspiracy, and weapon use.
Where is Livingstone Fagan Now?
After being ultimately found guilty of both voluntary manslaughter and using a handgun while committing an offence, Livingstone was given a total prison term of 40 years. In spite of the fact that he made no attempt to challenge his conviction, a federal judge lowered his sentence to 30 years in 2000 after the Branch Davidians case came across his desk. Nevertheless, after paying a $5,000 fine, the father of two only served nearly half of his sentence in jail before being let out and permanently deported to his native Britain in July 2007.
Livingstone seems to have relocated to Nottingham since that time, where he works as an author and a public person, frequently writing about religion and giving interviews. He wrote “Mt. Carmel: The Unseen Reality” in 1994, “The Gift of Immortality” in 2013, “A Door Opened in Heaven: Understanding the Revelation” in 2014, and “Understanding Waco & Salvation” in 2017. From what we can see, he still adheres to the Branch Davidian doctrine. A chapter of the 2013 book “Prophecy in the New Millennium: When Prophecies Persist” was joyfully written by the now middle-aged author.
