Woman charged with boyfriend's death in crash denied bond

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - Jennifer Fram will not receive a bond.

That’s what Mobile County Judge George Hardesty decided Wednesday morning.  Fram is charged with murder after a car accident in April of this year.

"We asked that she be held without bond in this murder case because she was out on probation when this offense was committed, on probation for DUI," said Assistant District Attorney Jo Beth Murphree.

Authorities said Fram was driving with her 26-year-old boyfriend Nicholas Markow on Dawes Lake road when the car ran off the roadway and struck a sign and utility pole. Authorities say Markow, who was the passenger, died on the scene.

At the time of the accident, Fram was on probation for a previous DUI conviction and had avoided a six month jail sentence. Back in June, however, that sentence was revoked and Fram was sentenced to six months in jail for that DUI.

Murphree said Fram hasn't learned from her mistakes.

"She picked up a DUI from Mobile in January of 2011 and was never convicted because she left. She went to California, picked up a DUI there in August of 2011 and never got convicted on that because she left. There was a fugitive warrant out for her at the time of this offense," said Murphree.

In court on Wednesday, Fram’s attorney requested bond for his client on the murder charge, since Fram’s six month sentence was almost up.

Judge Hardesty denied bond for Fram, so she returned to metro jail.
