Daily News | After four decades in prison for a murder he says he didn’t commit, a Chester man is free
The first thing Leroy Evans did Friday when he stepped out of the Delaware County Courthouse and into his first day as a free man was hug his wife, Rosemary Simmons.
Evans’ attorney, Mike Malloy, said the seven years working to win his freedom “were a gift” and that he had never met a man who had maintained his humility and gratitude while dealing with such adversity.From 2017: "Family rallies for Chester man imprisoned 37 years for murder he says he did not commit"
Leo died two weeks later at Crozer-Chester Medical Center, where medics had taken her from the scene of the assault. Jones said he never included Evans, who lived across from him, in his plan to kill Leo. When Jones was later arrested, investigating officers told him he was facing the death penalty for murder. And when he learned that Evans had also been arrested in connection with the crime, he changed his story.
