Wydell Jody Evans v. State of Florida & Wydell Jody Evans v. James McDonough
SC05-632 & SC05-1974 / Brevard County

Mr. Evans was convicted of the 1998 fatal shooting of 17-year-old Angel Johnson. The
jury voted 10-2 to recommend that he be sentenced to death and he was condemned. His
conviction and sentence were upheld on direct appeal and he filed his first postconviction
appeal in trial court. It was denied; this appeal challenges that decision.
