Russell G. Lloyd Sr.
[2] Evansville citizen Julia Van Orden had a history as a "constant complainer" according to city police and had claimed harassment from officials inspecting her home.On March 18, 1980, Van Orden had thrown a brick at a city inspector's vehicle windshield when he came to inspect an addition to her house.[3] The following morning, Van Orden, believing Lloyd was still the mayor (his term had actually expired in January of that year), arrived at his home.She shot Lloyd four times with a handgun, in the head, neck, and shoulders, in a fit of anger after a brief argument.Though Van Orden's attorney argued she was too mentally ill to have understood her actions, she was nonetheless convicted and sentenced to between 20 and 40 years in prison.
