Millionaire Found Guilty Of Murdering His Wife And Her BoyfriendClearwater, Florida - Yesterday a jury found a high powered executive for Jabil Circuit guilty of the 2008 shooting deaths of his wife and her lover.

Patrick Evans was in the middle of a divorce from Elizabeth, his wife of three years, when he busted into her Gulfport condo and found his estranged wife naked in the bed with her boyfriend, Gerry Taylor.

A 911 call was made from Elizabeth’s cordless phone, although no one speaks to the operator. In it you can hear Evans arguing with the pair before they are shot to death.

“Get on the bed,” Evans instructs the couple.

“Rick put the gun down. This is ridiculous, I am putting on a robe,” says Elizabeth.

“Get on the bed, Gerry!” Evans yells.

“I’ll sit down if you put down the gun,” Taylor responds.

Taylor is then shot in the throat at close range.

“Help help!” Elizabeth cries.

Then, instead of begging or pleading this asshole for her life, she asks her husband: ”Are you out of your fucking mind?”

She is then shot at close range.

The recording wasn’t the only evidence prosecutors had. They also matched shell casing at the scene with Evans’ .40-caliber Glock.  Evans tried to tell jurors that the voice on the recording was not his, but they didn’t buy it. It took them less than two hours to find him guilty of murder in the first degree.

Next up for Evans is his sentencing where he could receive the death penalty.

    I would like to have seen him explaining that wasn’t his voice on the 911 call:  “you see really what happened was they both wanted to commit suicide but also frame me in the process, your honor, so they hired someone to come in and kill them and yell my name at the hit man”.

    If I was a millionaire, 
    1. I would hire someone to cap her ass if it was all that damn important.
    2. I wouldn’t care less about her…I’m a millionaire.
    3. I would have hot and cold running maids at my house.

    Perhaps you would have had her plead with him? Or from what I gather from your comments on this thread when a gun is pointed at ones face…it’s time to shut up…BUT who is to say he wouldn’t have shot her either way? I think she gave him a good little jab before he ended her life. He won’t remember the satisfaction of seeing her beg….he will remember her saying something she probably said a hundred times during their marriage..”Are you out of your fucking mind?” Sadly she didn’t get to hear the answer he gave.

    I don’t think you quite understand dead. After you are dead nothing matters anymore. He said you said or what Jesus said is of no importance to the dead person.. Where there is life there is hope. His mind was addled and in a constant state of flux. I single word could have triggered some repressed memory and flooded him with remorse. Like her beautiful red lips sliding over his love stick while at the same time she played proctologist. Then he would have shot her because of her bitchy mouth.

    Well did you find your self being polite and complimentary and asking if he would like his pants unzipped. Once you get your hands on his business you have pretty good control of the situation.     Just squeeze or bite with all your might.  What ever happens he will never forget you.

Maybe that makes me a wuss, but if I had fought back, I likely would not be posting here today. In my opinion, life should take precedence over pride. In this woman’s case though, I don’t think she really believed he would kill her too. Maybe that’s just me…

    LOL! Is that what you did when the gun was held to your head? That’s nice to know. Glad it worked for you. Don’t know why you think it would work for anyone else, though, since every situation is different. For instance, I really don’t think if Elizabeth offered Patrick a blowjob, that would have saved her life. Her response was perfectly reasonable. HELLO: you cannot reason with unreasonable people.

  • Laura_RT

    Maybe what she said wasn’t the best idea, maybe it wouldn’t have made a difference, who can really say? But when a person’s in that position, I don’t think statements made are carefully thought out, they just come out as they will.

  • Athena

    Actually, I think she knew she was going to die either way.  I mean, he just shot and killed her boyfriend in front of her.  So, why bother with niceties?

    But, yes, response is heavily dependent on the specific situation.  I had a gun pointed at me, once, and I ran like hell, but I’m alive to tell the story.  I don’t think anything makes a person a wuss when they’re staring at a gun.  

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jerri-Blank/100002828502192 Jerri Blank

    Yep I can say for sure you just never know how you’ll react in a crazy situation. I was sleeping over my sisters when she lived in the ‘hood’ and was alone the next morning when some drug addict acquaintance of her husband’s pried the window open and climbed in right before my eyes.

    I’m not kidding either. I was in the bathroom and heard a bunch of noise and came into the living room as a foot was climbing through the window. 

    I’d like to say ran and got the phone and headed for the hills but I didn’t. Instead I wigged out and started screaming AT him! I flung open the door and ordered him the fuck out – amazingly he left and kept saying he lost his wallet and was just breaking in to find it (yeah right) and not till after that did I call my brother in law and told him and then (another stupid move by me) I waited for him to come before I left.

    I think about that and shudder. So I have to wonder what would I do if I had a gun in my face? Would I plead for my life or grab the gun or say “Have you lost your god damned mind?!”. I just don’t know my self that well I suppose.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_PKSJ42VBXNAFJLOH54Y3K4KTXU Heather Habilatory

    I told him to quit being a pussy and do it already. Everyone knows we had a volatile relationship, including the police. I turn up dead or missing, he’s suspect numero uno and he he knows it. And his DNA was already with the Feds.

    Turns out he isn’t as badass as he claims to be.

  • Laura_RT

    Well, I was thinking, maybe in her head she figured he thought with dude out of the way he could get her back, which, ‘Are you out of your fucking mind?’ seemed an appropriate response to. Like maybe she assumed he loved HER too much to kill her.

    I’m not sure this explanation of my thought process makes any kind of sense, but I can’t really come up with a better way to phrase it.

    When I was in the situation, I cried, pleaded, asked, ‘Why?’, prayed to God, and eventually just went somewhere else inside my mind. There were two of them, both bigger than me, and they had a gun to boot. Fighting back probably would have just gotten me killed, so I just gave up, which in the end, probably saved my life.

Oh! Then something about him missing her missing his loveschtick and so on and so forth. I do think I understand “dead” I am high enough to grasp that concept though…and am still pretty glad this chick who ( I wish didn’t have to have “last words” but did) and those last words will echo through this kats head through the remainder of his life. All is well that ends so unwell. See what I am saying? Or maybe not…just my thoughts at the moment.

    I never had a gun held to my head. I opened my door and the two people standing there mumbled something and started shooting.    And you are right you can not argue with unreasonable people.  The best you can do is be polite while slowly reaching for your judge.  Maybe that is why I have a ccw and am always armed.   I am an old paranoid wussey who does not want to be hurt by some dick head.. By the way, offering loving sexual favors usually works out better than pissing them off.    If they are gay you have had it unless you can whip out a really big tube steak an offer a free meal.

    Who said anything about fighting back. To prevail one has to take control. There is no better control than to have some guys family jewels in dire circumstances. It could possibly lead to negotiations. The only sure fire remedy is to have a judge aimed at his face. Google Taurus judge.

    Wow, I don’t really even know how to respond to you. I’m not even certain what you’re advocating action, or inaction. In my case two men took turns holding a gun to my head while the other raped me, so a good grip on the family jewels would have done me little good. And as I was sixteen at the time, I didn’t really have access to a judge. There are some things a person just can’t control.

    Hmmmm.  I think I disagree.

    It’s just impossible to say what, if anything, she could have done to save her life. Plead for mercy? Throw a lamp at his head? The only thing we can know for sure is, she knew him far better than any of us do. Maybe she really thought he was the type who would respond to being reasoned with. What she DID do definitely didn’t work, but it doesn’t seem like he went there to just wave the gun around, or to talk, or whatever. The thing is, she was in fight or flight response mode….not a lot of time to think about what the best approach would be in such a case. It’s great she at least had the presence of mind to dial 911 in all the chaos.

    Rubbed his face in it? Made herself a victim? 

    What, by f iling for divorce and moving into her own place and getting on with her life, which is what people do when they are getting divorced? Uhh, yeah, okay.

    As for “failing to take precautions”….rigggght, she should have moved into a bomb shelter in Siberia. Otherwise, she deserved for him to break in to her prviate residence and then shot her. Stupid bitch of a victim!

    *cough*

    Can we please dial down the tard volume? Thanks.

    As for your comment “she must have know[n] what he was like”: her initial response  (see THE ARTICLE) was “Rick put the gun down. This is ridiculous, I am putting on a robe.” THAT response shows that she knew him to usually be a reasonable person with whom one could reason.

    Her later response to the BF being shot (“are you out of your fucking mind”), was a stupid response, but suggests he usually was not Out of His Mind. Also, I’m sure it all happened very quickly. It’s not like she had time to think about the best plan of action, or to check in with YOU about how to Avoid Death by Offering to Give Her Ex a Blowjob.”

    Oh, gee, in your other post you said that if she had “offered loving sexual favors,” it would have saved her life.

    Get your story straight. Yawn. So much for accusing other people (whom you know NOTHING about) of being “functionally incompetent”… However, I did enjoy your little anecdote about shaking people down for rent in “the black ghetto’s of Houston.” Mighty entertain’, hickdick! You’re right, though, I’ve never “collected rent in the black ghetto’s of Houston.”

    Now, about the actual murder of Elizabeth: everyone AGREES that asking him if he was out of his mind didn’t make any damn sense. He obviously WAS out of his mind. But that’s just not the same as saying she “DESERVED” to be murdered. As for Patrick and his bright future, well, he looks like a fucking soft millionaire wimp who won’t stand a chance defending himself–no matter what he says or does–against the new friends he’ll be making in prison.

  • Anonymous

    That’s the thing, IMO. Her reaction to him WAS absurd. But would anything else have worked? I mean, why did he go over there with the gun? To have a little conversation over some cookies? Nah–he went over there to kill them. Honestly, a “crime of passion” defense wouldn’t help him, anyway, since breaking in with the gun shows premeditation.

    I love his “SAD CLOWN” face in his mugshot. Have a nice life in prison, Patrick, while your cellmates play pattycake with your richy-rich tushy.

    “I think maybe I am high and have missed your point this go ’round.” Sweet. :-D

    You really should read up on the situation before spewing all this opinionated ignorance.

    Patrick cheated on Elizabeth, his third wife and the victim in this story, with his second wife.  He then filed for divorce against Elizabeth.  He then changed his mind, withdrawing the divorce petition.  So Elizabeth filed for divorce and, as Sugarglider pointed out, got her own place and started to move on.  I’m sure, if she had any inkling that Patrick was the kind of psycho that was going to murder her and her boyfriend, she might have taken precautions.  But, from the information available, I don’t see how she could conclude that she was anything but unwanted by Evans.  In fact, her last words, “Are you out of your fucking mind?” suggests quite clearly that this was not something she expected from her ex.

    He went there to kill them.  What the boyfriend said, what Elizabeth said… it’s all inconsequential.  They were going to die that night.  This wasn’t some crime of passion, where some dude catches his wife cheating in his bed after coming home early from work.  This was a premeditated crime carried out by a man who clearly had little regard for women or the institution of marriage.  Elizabeth did nothing wrong.

    I think you are doing  lot of second guessing.  Just about everybody who has something bad happen to them carries some percent of the fault. I think the man was temporarily insane because there are a lot of different ways the settle the issues involved here. I am going to say because he was very wealthy that he was not stupid. He may have been possessive and a complete domineering arrogant asshole but I doubt he was stupid. Something set him off. I have feeling the two people he killed were involved. They did not deserve to die but they are partially to blame if it is only that they did not take proper precautions. You don’t know if she unwittingly brought this upon herself. What he disregarded was the law and other peoples rights. Try to be less feminist and more mature when making statements it really adds to your credibility.

    I am very sorry to hear you had such a frightening degrading event happen to you .  I want to ask you but I don’t want an answer.

In my own case when ever something bad has happened to me I try to trace back events to find where I should have turned a different direction. Maybe this is what has kept me off dreamin demon headlines. Again I am very sorry for what happened to you. I sincerely hope you can get past it and have a pleasant life.

    Come to think of it, Athena may be right: maybe you are really just a troll. That would explain a lot. Like identifying her post as “feminist” when it had nothing to do with feminism (and suggesting she lacked “credibility” or “maturity”….psst, it was ME, not her, who accused you of living in mommy’s basement, etc.!). And accusing other people of second-guessing when second-guessing is all YOU do. And saying that “rich” people cannot be “stupid” (LOL). And then there’s your douchebag comment to Laura_RT about how she should “look back” on being raped at gunpoint “and see what unknowingly misguided step [she] took to make this event happen.” And all your naive posturings and pseudo-profound pronouncements about, well, everything.

When that stranger (a super hot 26 year old) invited me to sit and chat I accepted. When he asked for my pager number I gave it to him. I started ‘dating’ a 26 yr old when I knew my parents wouldn’t approve. From the beginning, I had explained to him that I wasn’t ready for sex, and when he said he understood, I believed him. When I had to fight him off one night, I put a cigarette out on his face. A week or two later, I felt safe enough in my own neighborhood to go for a walk alone a night. Had I not done any one of these things and probably many others, Jerry and his friend (whose name I’ll never know) would not likely have done what they did to me so many years ago.

    Believe me when I say I have thought of these things, dwelled on these things, in all the years since it happened. But as I’m not psychic, and because teenagers often think they are invincible, I 100% believe that there was no way for me to have predicted, or prevented it from happening.

    Maybe, if back then, I was the person I am now, it wouldn’t have happened, because the person I am now is too afraid to trust, rarely leaves her house alone, and cannot even approach a staff member at a store to ask for assistance. That experience changed me in too many ways to count. But I know, no matter what missteps I may have made, the blame is still fully on Jerry and his friend and none of it lies with me. The only control I could have had was if I had been able to predict the future and it’s ridiculous to suggest otherwise.

    That said, in spite of my issues that came from both that and being married to (and divorced from) a controlling man, my life is good, amazing even. I live in a beautiful home, with three beautiful children. I am in love with a man who is an amazing lover, a wonderful father, and an awesome provider. I have a family who is exceptionally loving, supportive, giving, and who are just downright decent people.

    My experience was awful, but had it not happened, I would have never been screwed up enough to marry the man who fathered my children. If I had never been in an abusive relationship with my husband, I would have never moved to a shelter for abused women and children, where I met wonderful women who had been in similiar situations. Had I not met these women, one of them would have never introduced me to the man I am with now, and I wouldn’t be living the life I am now. So despite how awful it may have been, how badly it may have wounded me, both inside and out, those missteps I made are not any I regret. The struggles I endured led me to where I am now and it is a good place to be.

    Considering that you didn’t even want an answer, this one may have been longwinded and rambling, and I would apologize except I think that that’s what you get when you pose a question to someone that you know may be offensive to some (which, it wasn’t really offensive to me, just thought provoking), without expecting an answer…

    It’s odd that he was found guilty of first degree murder in this case. If he had a good lawyer he should have argued mitigating circumstances. This was basically a crime of passion, he should have been able to plea it down to at least murder two. Unless the guy was so dumb he thought the jury would buy the “It wasn’t me on the tape” defense.
