I saw this Afterschool Special almost twenty years ago and still remember it vividly. John Evans was one of the first people executed in the United States after the Supreme Court restated the Death penalty in 1976. He was put to death in Alabama's electric chair in 1983 after being denied clemency by then Governor George Wallace. Evans was a career criminal who killed a father of two little girls during a robbery. What amazed me is that he admitted he came from a good, loving family and threw it all away. I felt so angry at his horrible crime and felt he deserved to die for it. However, I applaud him for making this cautionary tale. I remember I felt so bad for his poor mother because she lived to see him executed. By the way, a lot of liberals were upset because the chair malfunctioned and Evans sort of got crispy crittered a little bit, oh well TS.
