- John Louis Evans was a convicted murderer who shared his life story for the CBS Schoolbreak Special "Dead Wrong: The John Evans Story," which was taped just days before he was executed on April 22, 1983 in the electric chair at Holman Prison in Alabama. Evans agreed to share his story as a cautionary tale to teenagers, and to urge them to make good decisions.
Evans had began getting into trouble with the law as a juvenile, and his crimes grew more serious, eventually landing him in prison in Indiana. After he is paroled in 1976, he tries to settle down, but a former fellow inmate Wayne Eugene Ritter tracks him down and they embarked on a two-month-long crime spree involving, by Evans's own admission, over thirty armed robberies, nine kidnappings, and two extortion schemes across seven states, including the brutal slaying pawn shop owner Edward Nassar in Mobile, Alabama on January 5, 1977. Nassar's two daughters, aged seven and nine, were in the pawnshop at the time of the murder. Evans and Ritter were caught two months later on March 7, 1977; both men are tried, convicted and sentenced to death. His accomplice Wayne Ritter was executed in the electric chair on August 28, 1987.
