Conviction for Marinette man who shot wife

Evans was accused in the July 2008 shooting death of his wife Dina in Marinette. Evans had maintained the shooting was an accident, prosecuting attorney David Wambach says he trusted the jury would not convict Evans of a lesser charge. 

Evans faces up to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the First Degree Intentional Homicide conviction. His sentencing is scheduled for December 1.
