I stand here right now as a changed, humble man.
I've been in the prison correctional system for five years now, and...
...that is exactly what I am, corrected. Rehabilitated.
I just wanted you to give me a chance.
I won't let you down.
Thank you for your time.
- Mr. Chairman, if I could have just a moment? - Go ahead.
You see, I did my homework on this man.
And I can tell you with confidence that he's actually quite a good liar.
That fight that got out of hand,
that was actually Mr. Evans flying into a murderous rage
because of how the victim was looking at his girlfriend.
And as a younger man, there were other acts of violence,
frequently involving the attentions of a woman.
Mr. Evans fits the criteria of a malignant narcissist.
Charming, highly intelligent, as you've witnessed,
but malignant narcissists are compelled to prove their superiority.
Everything's a seduction,
and if they're rejected, or things don't go their way, they lose control.
Some other more well-known malignant narcissists were...
Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy...
- Now, hold on. No. Sir. Sir. - Mr. Evans, please, just sit down.
Please, sit down, Mr. Evans.
I can tell you there's violence in this man.
And his control over himself is slender.
I'll let my fellow board members make up their own minds, but...
there are five families outside, who are hoping and praying
that we do not set Colin Evans free.
Mr. Evans, as I'm sure you're aware,
to be granted parole in the state of Tennessee, it must be a unanimous vote.
We'll take this up again in five years, as mandated.
Ladies and gentlemen, that convenes the state of Tennessee parole hearing for today.
Madame Secretary, you can turn off your recording devices.
Ladies and gentlemen, you are free to go at this time.
