Just saw this on Youtube as it shows John Louis Evans III four days in 1983 before his last ride to the electric chair in Alabama AKA Yellow Mama. For killing a father who owned a pawn shop with two young girls, that very scared, looked on while their father was tragically killed.
Talked to a prison chaplain and videotaped a message to young people. Not to make the mistakes he made.
Evans came from a loving family of seven brothers and sisters. And really had a good Christian home. Only to throw it all away. To live a life of crime. Just when he was about to go straight and get married, and have a family.
He and his prison buddy from Indiana, and on parole make a huge mistake while robbing. As it cost them their lives as Evans was executed in 1983 and his buddy, Wayne Ritter was executed in 1987. In all they committed robberies, kidnappings, extortion, and murder.
Alabama Government really did not like the fact that Evans made the tape to make him a hero. And make him be sympathetic. But really Evans seemed to want to make sure that young people never made the mistakes that he made. Before he died. Either way you look at it, hopefully young people got the message or will.
