Richard "Bobo" Evans is portrayed as a career criminal, currently accepting a plea deal by admitting that he participated in a store robbery and testifying that James King was responsible for shooting and killing the store's owner, Alguinaldo Nesbitt. Bobo is described as being a large, ugly man when he takes the witness stand to testify. His rough, unattractive appearance, brash personality, and past offenses negatively impact the jury's perception of him. In the jury's eyes, Bobo is an intimidating, violent criminal with a terrible track record. O'Brien understands that it is important for her client, Steve Harmon, to distance himself from shady criminals like Richard "Bobo" Evans and James King in order to avoid conviction. Fortunately, Bobo testifies that he never spoke to Steve but was under the impression (from James King) that Steve would serve as the lookout. Overall, people view Richard "Bobo" Evans as a violent, threatening criminal who lacks any sort of empathy for his previous crimes.
