VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — A former Navy SEAL trainee testified Wednesday that he alone killed a Georgia college student, a crime that sent him and a friend to prison.

Billy Joe Brown testified in Virginia Beach Circuit Court as part of Dustin Turner’s bid to overturn his conviction. The two were stationed at Little Creek Naval Amphibious Base, training to become elite Navy commandos, when premed student Jennifer Evans disappeared from a Virginia Beach bar in June 1995.

Turner and Brown were convicted of killing her in separate jury trials. But in a sworn statement in 2003, Brown said he was the only one responsible for Evans’ death.

He said he became a Christian in prison and realized he had to come clean.

“I am here to glorify Jesus Christ by telling the truth,” he said Wednesday. “If it helps Dusty, that’s great.”

"No one finds Jesus on Prom night."

It's amazing that so many criminals, faced with the consequences of their crimes, suddenly declare themselves to have achieved redemption.


It certainly would be. But it would be even greater if it could help Ms. Evans. Keep on praying, Billy Joe.
