Linda Sue Evans (born May 11, 1947) is an American radical leftist who was convicted in connection with violent and deadly militant activities committed as part of her goal to free African Americans from white oppression. Evans was sentenced in 1987 to 40 years in prison for using false identification to buy firearms and for harboring a fugitive in the 1981 Brinks armored truck robbery, in which two police officers and a guard were killed, and Black Liberation Army members were wounded. In a second case, she was sentenced in 1990 to five years in prison for conspiracy and malicious destruction in connection with eight symbolic bombings including the 1983 United States Senate bombing, carried out at night so that no persons were harmed. Her sentence was commuted in 2001 by President Bill Clinton because of the unprecedented length of her sentence.
