Marcum was found guilty of complicity to murder, complicity to tampering with evidence and complicity to hindering prosecution in March, in the murder and dismemberment of Angela Frazier back in 2011.
Back in March, the jury recommended 20 years for complicity to commit murder, five years for complicity to tampering with evidence and five years for complicity to hindering prosecution. The jury recommended that all three sentences run consecutively, which amounts to a total of 30 years.
Marcum’s attorney says he plans to appeal.
Angela Frazier’s body was found on Jan. 19, 2011, in six trash bags at the end of Tattler Branch Road in the Valley View community of Madison County.
Frazier’s husband, Jason Singleton, pleaded guilty to helping with the crime.
Singleton told the court Marcum strangled Frazier and he helped dispose of the body. He said after consuming some prescriptions, he cut up his wife’s body and tried to hide her remains.
On the day police believe Frazier was killed, January 16, 2011, police said Marcum and Singleton texted and called each other 105 times. Det. Reeder said the contact went up tremendously between 6 and 11 p.m.
Singleton was sentenced to 20 years for complicity to murder, five years for evidence tampering and five years for abuse of a corpse, with all of the sentences to be served consecutively. He was also sentenced for a standoff with Somerset Police, but those charges are to be served concurrently with the murder charges.
