At the time of his execution few had sympathy for Timothy Evans’ plight, after all he had been charged with the murders of his pregnant wife and 13 month old daughter. Add to this reports that he had been verbally and physically abusive to his wife throughout their marriage, on the surface he appeared to be the type of person the death penalty had been designed for, in that it removed a violent and dangerous individual who posed a threat to the public.
