Richard “Bobo” Evans Character Analysis

Bobo Evans is a criminal witness in Steve and King’s court case and an accomplice to Mr. Nesbitt’s felony murder. Bobo has a long and violent criminal history—even so, he testifies against King and Steve in exchange for a reduced prison sentence, which thus makes him an arguably unreliable witness (since he has a personal motive to help prosecutors put Steve and King behind bars). According to Bobo, Steve acted as their lookout to check the store for cops before he and King entered Mr. Nesbitt’s store to rob him, when King took the man’s gun and shot him to death. He and King reportedly then left Mr. Nesbitt dying on the floor and went to a restaurant to have a meal and lie low. Bobo’s testimony is slightly weak, since he acknowledges that he does not actually know Steve, nor did he receive any sort of signal from him. Bob’s ultimate fate is unknown, though by the time the cops got wind of his involvement in Mr. Nesbitt’s murder, Bobo was already in prison for attempting to sell drugs to an undercover cop.
